June 19, 2009 Announcement to Grandparents Moy!

After 12 hours in the CRV with 3 stops for gas and lunch at Pizza Hut, we made it to Grandparents Moy's house just before 8pm. We had dinner together and at the dinner table I told them that Julia was going to be a "big sister". My parents were happy and smiled as they asked if the 2nd baby was a boy or girl? We will know in a few weeks!!!
Wilburn had told them that he would take them to Orlando for a Disney vacation between Christmas and New Years, but since the baby's due date is 12/23, grandpa doesn't want to go to Florida now in December... the family is so excited about the new baby!!

June 18, 2009 On the road!

We are all packed and ready to leave for Chicago tomorrow morning - our first 11 hour road trip as a family! When we get to the Grandparents Moy's house we will spring the news on them about Baby #2! Julia still just smiles and laughs when we tell her that her baby brother or sister is inside mommy's belly!

June 16, 2009 Julia says "But I can't see it (the baby in mommy's belly)?"

Julia has been asking for a baby sister/baby brother for several months now - since the bulk of her toddler friends in Chicago have started becoming big brothers or big sisters. We know she will be a great big sister - helpful, caring, fun and loving!

As we are leaving for Chicago this Friday and will tell my parents in person when we arrive that another grandchild is on the way, we decided this evening to tell Julia for the first time that her baby sibling is in Mommy's tummy! She said "Really, but I can't see it?" looked at Mommy's tummy and smiled a big smile. It was another priceless moment! We told Julia that Mommy's belly would be getting bigger and bigger and when the baby is ready, he or she will come out. Julia just laughed and had a big grin on her face!
