Quatro

 For all four of my faithful blog readers, Im tempted to start this post with an apology.

I've neglected our family blog for many many months.

But, I promise, I will not give up...and will do my best to keep this thing alive!

As for my absence, I can attest that it is in part the result of the this beauty taking up residence in

my womb these past (almost) six months.

Here she is at 9 weeks:

And again at 22 weeks.

And yes, I said SHE. (I have another ultrasound shot to prove it.)

This finding out the gender stuff is new to us. We were motivated by our lovely daughter who wants a sister more than almost anything. We gifted her with an extra 20 weeks of pure delight knowing thats exactly what the Lord has given. We're all pretty darn excited to meet her. And for the record, most of us were asking for a girl. Jonas, so that teams would be even. Mama, so that 1) her Luci would have her heart's desire and 2) to make bedroom logistics easier. Elliott, well, he goes back and forth. And Dada....well, that man is easy to please. He would have smiled either way.

There is much more to update you on of course, but since Im over half way through my pregnancy,

I thought this was a good start:)
