Telling the Parents

Tonight we told our parents about Speck.

Jean's parents were first.  We wanted to tell them the previous night but her dad wouldn't Skype due to the 1st South Carolina football game being on.  We finally got them on Skype and told them by showing them a book from the OBGYN titled "A Miracle in the Making". It took them a second but they finally realized what it was, got excited and started clapping.  Speck will be their first grandchild.

We told Lucas's parents over the phone.  We called his mom first thinking they would be together but we had forgotten his dad had already gone to North Carolina for a temporary Pastor call.  She was excited.  His dad was excited as well and strongly hinted that he would like a granddaughter due to the fact that they already have 2 grandsons with a third on the way.

1st Appointment

We had our first appointment with the obgyn.  They told us our due date is estimated at April 15, 2014, aka tax day.  Got a lot of information and prenatal samples.

Makes 4



 We are pregnant!  Very excited and still shocked.  We have decided to call the baby Speck for right now.  Obviously can't call it Peanut!    

Let's try this again

3 years ago we moved to Oslo, Norway, and I was adamant about doing a blog.  I thought it would be fun, easy, and definitely not something you forget about.  I was wrong.  You get busy and suddenly realize that you haven't touched your blog in months.

This time, I'm hoping to change that.  We are entering a big stage in our life and I think it needs to be documented.  Plus I have a smartphone now, which I can blog from, so I think that will help.

So friends & family, if you see me slacking again, speak up!
