The Happy Little Family

Once upon a time, there lived a boy and a girl in a magical little town called Springville, UT. They loved each other VERY much and decided to start trying to have a baby. They had some complications last year and had to wait A WHOLE YEAR to start trying again, but they were very patient and really enjoyed the extra year they had to spend with one another.

On June 5, 2009, something miraculous happened and three and a half weeks later they discovered they were pregnant! Now she's ten and half weeks along, has had three ultrasounds, all indicating that it's a viable and very healthy pregnancy, and everyone in the land is SO happy for them! The boy, Russ, is especially excited to be a daddy and is having so much fun with the whole process. The girl, Brie, has been extremely lucky in that she really hasn't been sick at all and has really enjoyed being pregnant. The time has already flown by so quickly that by February 26, 2010, they'll be wondering where their alone time went! :)

Grandma Smith, Brie's mom, has already gone crazy with the preparations and is buying everything baby that she can get her hands on... and Russ and Brie ARE NOT complaining in the least! Both sides of their family are super excited, especially Brie's side since this will be the first niece/nephew/grandchild in her family, and Russ's family is all hoping that they have the first boy. Russ is the only link to the Schafer name, so if they don't have a boy, the Schafer name dies... no pressure, though. :) Russ and Brie will be excited and grateful for either. Actually, on the second ultrasound, the tech couldn't decided if there were twins, but two weeks later it was confirmed that it was only one. Whew!!!! Brie was incredibly relieved.

Now that they have a baby on the way and it's far enough along to tell everyone, they're finally making it public. They are so happy to finally be able to add a new member to their family and can't wait until February. It'll be one of the best days of their lives... if Russ can stay coherent and not pass out when the baby's born. He has a tendency to get nauseous and dizzy and almost pass out when it comes to things like this, so we're praying that Daddy can be there... the WHOLE time. Brie's confident that he can and will do everything in her power to make it as easy as possible for him.

It's not "The End", but a To Be Continued.... :)
