Can you tell someone is excited about becoming a big sister?
We are so grateful and excited to share that we are expecting a baby in September 2009. We thank God for this gift and for allowing us the joy of another child. We had our first ultrasound a few weeks ago and got to see the heartbeat. Our sweet doctor gave Holly the picture and the first thing Holly did was kiss it.
We are planning to move back to Altlanta around the end of May and Allen will begin his orientation mid-June. I am getting more and more excited about moving back, even though it will be so hard to leave Nashville. But it will be great to be around old friends and be involved in our old church again. And I had a great doctor there who delivered Holly so we will most likely go back to her.
Well, blog-friends, I'm so glad I've gotten to share this news with you. It has been so hard to write on here and not talk about it because it has been on my mind so much, so I'm glad it is out in the open now. Hope you all are doing well. And thank you for supporting Team Joe P. I think the event was a big success.

Hi, I somehow, several months ago, came upon your blog. Sweet Joseph is just the cutest little boy, reminds me of mine. I have thought about all of you and prayed for you all every night. I was so happy to see this post. I know it does not take the pain of losing little Joseph away, but it is a nice feeling of hope and peace and a reminder that God is good and that there are more good times ahead. I am familiar with loss. My husband's brother passed away at the age of 18. That was 9 years ago (wow time passes quickly) I have seen the ache that losing a son brings. My mother-in-law had some thoughts/experiences similar to yours... one of the hardest parts for her was grocery shopping-- she would find herself reaching for the cereal that her son always ate and she would just about end up on her knees in the store she says. Anyway, might be strange getting a post from a TOTAL stanger, but I just wanted to tell you that you are prayed for by some you don't even know! All the best,
This is simply wonderful news. I just called William to let him know as well. I will be praying for you guys throughout this pregnancy. Much love, Jaime
What wonderful news! The picture of Holly is adorable. I'm so happy for all of you.
Julie
That's really great Gill. I'm overwhelmed. Love Chloe. xx
Hi, I found your blog many months ago and have prayed for you and your family so often. I am thrilled to hear this wonderful news. God bless!
