Family of 6 is becoming family of 7

At the end of July, Jonathan and I took a home pregnancy test which came back positive. We were quite excited, but not ready to share the news yet so we sat on it. This was very difficult to do. After a couple of weeks, we told the kids and they also had to sit on it until we were past the 12 week mark. They did a great job keeping the secret! At the end of September we began to share the news that we were expecting a new little one in April 2011. We could not be more excited!!

Jonathan and the kids wanted to know the sex of the baby while I didn't. However, after reading about a Christmas present idea on a blog, I decided to surprise everyone on Christmas Eve. At a sonogram at the beginning of December, I had the lady put the picture and news in a envelope that we would open later. I did tell Jonathan I had the envelope, but not the kids.

On Christmas Eve, we opened the envelope to discover we are having a GIRL!!! I was in shock and Chloe was ecstatic to have a sister. She is all about sharing her room with her baby sister. So, Kinsley is due April 7. Everything has gone great so far and she is growing right on target. We are very ready to meet her!!!
