The Original Baby Announcement {Posted Summer 2011}

If you're viewing this blog, then you've been led here 
by a shared link--


either on an email, our family blog, or a mailed letter.






We have mentioned our wild summer fun... birthdays, growing boys, a new job, and a big move. 






We have been joking about our family not taking 
summer vacations
but having summer moves.



Mama & the boys


Side note: J will have lived in 4 states in his short 3 years of life





It has been busy, fun, and wild.






There's a piece of the wild that we've been keeping a secret...


Remember I said it might just "take the cake"...




...the 
frosting
on
top...








You may be guessing, and you're probably right:








(And if you are surprised, so were we...)
















We are expecting!
...






Yes, a baby!










Well...
As you can see here, we started with two:


8 wks pregnant ultrasound, two little wombs





But now there's just one little darling:


12 weeks pregnant ultrasound, healthy & strong

We feel so blessed to be expanding
our little family from
four of us to five of us!










Baby N, who only has 6 more months to be 
'The Baby' at our house







If you're trying to do the math, let me just tell you:
they will be 16 months apart. 



We are due with our 3rd baby on 
12/13/11










We also found out...
when we went to FirstPeekUltrasound

Can you see the excitement on Trevor's face?

Seriously.

Pink is the new blue.



I am 16 1/2 weeks pregnant




We are so excited to finally share 
the news with you!


We had J practice saying "sister" this afternoon  and whispered to N that he's going to be a
 big brother




I'm not sure they get it




But then again, I'm not sure we've got our heads wrapped around the whole thing either...






This year is going to be wild...
one big change after another




Bring it on!

  3. Thanks for sharing the ultrasound pictures. It's amazing to see two little wombs. I'm so glad that baby girl is strong, healthy, and doing well. SHE is going to be the MOST loved baby with her brother and super proud Daddy! I just love that pic of him with the PINK balloon! Congrats, Shara!!!!

  10. I'm so sorry the two didn't work out but so happy that your sweet little girl is growing healthy and strong! And what a cute way to announce---though I would expect nothing less from you. ;)

  11. Oh my! I am so very excited for you my dear! I hope that you are feeling well and that this move will go smoothly! Love you tons! Will this be your new blog for now?

  12. YEAH!!!!! I'm thrilled that you two will get to have the "having a girl" experience!! It's a wild ride!! But hey, since it seems like you're getting used to living on the wild side, you're probably more prepared than you think! You'll be grand. And it's SO awesome to have a husband that's 100% on board for having a little girl. So, so sweet! Congrats!

  15. I have been dying to publicly CONGRATULATE you and tell you how excited I am for your family! Hooray! A little girl! I can't wait to see what a Shara/Trevor baby girl looks like!!! I thought I would send you an email but unfortunately... I have been locked out of my email (our technical problems seem to be never ending) so I am just leaving a short note to say CONGRATULATIONS!!! I guess I will just have to call you with my phone that now works.... I think.
