That's right folks--there's another baby coming! Yippie!
Krista (my sister-in-law pictured above) had asked me when we were opening gifts as a family. I didn’t think anything of it and replied that it would probably be after a while of being together–I mean, there really wasn’t any rush. Or so I thought. 🙂
The gift opening was pushed back a little later and I thought she was disappointed just because of her love of Christmas and the joy of gifts. Little did I know that they had actually wrapped this frame for my Mom to open.
Which then released a torrent of rejoicing at the good news: Luke and Krista are expecting their first baby in May!
After all the hugging we were able to find out more details and laugh about the gift opening being pushed back. I still can’t believe that they managed to keep it a secret for so long! She’s already pretty much half way through her pregnancy–and was apparently quite sick for the first trimester. I suppose that’s the benefit of not living close to family. We only know what she posts on their website!
They had their ultrasound the day after they got back and even found out that they are expecting a little baby girl! Of course, there is the tiny possibility that the technician is wrong, but I think the chances are sooooo slim these days. And it sounds like they’ve already chosen the name: Mae Christine. Isn’t that adorable? Baby Mae! I suppose I’m partial since my middle name is Mae… hehe!
I’m excited for Josiah to have a littler cousin to love soon. He won’t be the “baby” for long!
I was just looking back at the discussions in planning for Christmas and saw on the list of things bought for Chris, “picture frame”. Ha! So glad we didn’t duplicate THAT gift 😉 Hee hee…..
Thanks for sharing our story Erica and for not saying how nagging I was about the scheduled time to open presents : ).
We are pretty much set on the name; I’m filled with joy every time I say Baby Mae.
