Good news!

I know it has been forever since I've been here, but I wanted to share my news with you!

Even though we thought it was not possible, Brendon and I are expecting! Little Aiden should arrive around the end of March. We are ecstatic! We've been busy preparing his room and learning as much as possible.

I hope you all are doing well! Feel free to find me on FB if you want to see more about Aiden!

Thanks Lindsay and Betsi.

JJJ, nice to meet you! The bedding is super cute. I'm posting a photo along with one of our early ultrasounds and a baby bump pic. This has been such a fun experience and it keeps getting better and better! I'm excited for what the future holds.

Hi Angie. Nice to meet you. You look just beautiful! Congratulations on your new baby! Your bedding choice is exactly like my 7 month old grandson Ryan's. Can't wait to learn more about Aiden!

Paula, nice to meet you too! I'd love to see pics of your grandson's room to see how it all came together. I searched and searched for the "right" bedding and fell in love with the cute little monkeys and turtles. We ordered a ton of stuff from eBay.

Diana, that was a very difficult time for me and Brendon. I was devastated when we first got the news several years ago. The funny thing is, we had come to terms with it and were perfectly content to spend our lives together as just a married couple. We could travel whenever and wherever we wanted. We would save a ton of money. We would have more time for each other. And on and on. I graduated with my master's in May and BAM-pregnant in June. lol! We were shocked and our whole life plans changed in a moment. It was another major readjustment, but we really couldn't be happier. I think we both appreciate little Aiden even more knowing that we are so lucky to have him.

I have been following your "Adventures with Aiden" on fb, and am so thrilled for you both! That is a great name.

I remember when you got that bad news, and now you are having a miracle baby!
God does work in mysterious and wonderful ways.

Well let me congratulate you on your Master's too

I think all you needed was to be stress free.

It's funny how life works, I was trying not to get pregnant and not even birth control stop me ( 3 kidos)

I think your baby just wanted to come at the right time.

Hey Angie! We found alot of stuff to match the bedding such as a wall pic, lamps and I can't remember everything but we found it at Babies R Us. Look online...I'm sure you probably already have lol! I'm so happy for you and your hubby!

Thank you! The Master's program was a blast and I was sad to graduate, but I still keep in contact with my classmates. It was a wonderful experience!

I agree about the stress. We ended up getting pregnant during the time in our lives when we were absolutely the least stressed. I had finished school, I had applied for jobs and was waiting to hear back, so no work for me, hubby was out of school for the summer so no stress for him. We were just enjoying seeing more of family and friends and each other after a year of 60+ hour work weeks--between school, internship, and GA...and that's not even counting time to do homework!

Congrats on your three little ones. I'm sure you've posted pics so I'll have to look up your threads to see them!

Thanks Gayle! I spend most of my online time on FB cause I have very active friends and family there who love updates on little Aiden, but I'll try to remember to post here too. Hopefully it won't get repetitive for you! lol


Paula, I noticed the monkey/turtle stuff at Babies R Us too! So far we have all the bedding, the wall decorations, the diaper hanger, a rug, a stuffed monkey, the mobile, a decorative pillow, and a blanket. There's a lot of other cute stuff there, but I might go with just solid colors for the other accessories so the theme isn't overpowering.
