And Baby Makes Three!

Well... It looks like it is about time that I start blogging again. For real this time. Our life is about to undergo so many big changes, and it seems appropriate to write the memories down that I will actually remember them. Plus- I've noticed that I've been using Facebook more like a blog and that is probably irritating to my Facebook friends :)

So the first big change? I'm pretty sure everyone in the world already knows, but Nick and I are expecting baby Lees- due May 29th. On Wednesday, we actually found out that baby Lees is actually a baby girl, & we announce that her name is going to be Anniston Gray.



We are overwhelmingly excited & eager as for this journey we embark on as we become parents. We also know that there is so much we don't know and so much we will be learning in the process. We look forward to knowing God more intimately through this journey we are embarking on with Anniston. We have actually already learned so much about our relationship to God as our father as we have began reading books about being a mommy & daddy.

On top of spiritual learning and growth, there is just a lot of 'stuff' we need to get in order. Just to name a few:
  • Sign up for childbirth/newborn care classes
  • Clean out the garage so that we can put stuff from the current office in there
  • Clean out the office so we can change into the nursery
  • Assemble the crib
  • Acquire items necessary for Anniston's survival & daily needs
  • Figure out childcare more concretely
  • Figure out my maternity leave
  • Etc etc etc
On top of baby things, we are also seeking God's face in his plan for our future, Nick is planning another ministry trip to England in March, & we are actively involved with Faith's college ministry. Life is good and busy! I'm going to update this blog as I get time with progress, growth, God things, & probably baby bump pictures!

Farewell for now! I'm excited to start blogging again.

Congrats girl!! Enjoy these next few months just the two of you (for another 18 years, anyway :) Best of luck as you make your baby preparations, and allow me to offer just one nugget of wisdom if I may: less is more with a baby. Really. They don't need a lot. You'll probably get everything you need at your shower. Enjoy!
