Little Ladybug


Our Little Ladybug, at 8 weeks!
Stephen and I have been so blessed this year! Many of you know that Stephen and I have been trying to have baby for three and half years. We exhausted all of the options and fertility drugs that my OBGYN could provide for us and were ready to move on to a fertility specialist this coming summer. However, God in his awesome, goodness had other plans for us. Instead of undergoing in-vitro this summer, I will be delivering our first baby. I am now 13 weeks pregnant and thank God every day for this precious gift he has given Stephen and me.
Maisy calls the baby “Ladybug”. She knows it is a girl, even though we won’t find out until next month if Ladybug really is a girl. Like in every other situation, we all do what Maisy says and have started calling the baby Ladybug. I think it is much better than “IT”. I just hope if it is a boy he won’t mind that his nick-name was Ladybug for about 10 weeks.

Yeah Katie and Stephen!! I am so happy for the 3 of you! I am about 13 1/2 weeks, so we aren't very far apart! When is your due date? How are you feeling? Can't wait to hear back from you!

Your name was never on my blogroll, Dork!

BTW-Maisy says that if the baby is a boy then it's name is "bumblebee".
