Baby G

Hello everybody. This is Chad. This is my first ever attempt at blogging, so bear with me a little bit. I decided to wait until I have something good to tell before actually blogging. No fluff for me. So here it is. Erin is pregnant!!! That's right, we're having a baby. I am so excited I can't think about our new child without smiling. I can't look at Erin for an extended time without thinking "oh my gracious, she's pregnant" as if I forgot. This is too much fun.

I also want to let you know that my sister Brigitte and her husband Kevin have been trying for about 5 years to have a baby with no fortune. They called us a couple of months ago to tell us that they have a baby on the way. God is so gracious. It was fun on Christmas morning to call our parents and let Anna Kate tell them that mommy has a baby in her tummy. (She wants a girl baby by the way). Turns out that my sister called on Christmas morning to tell them that she felt the baby kick for the first time. How fun!!!

So what do you call a real live person when you don't know if you're having a boy or a girl? "It"? Most people would agree that is not fun or accurate. So my Dad decided last time to just call the baby Dexter until we decided on a name. Dexter didn't seem so pleasant when we found out we were having twin girls. So when Erin called Becky (of Kevin and Becky fame) to tell her we're expecting, Becky said "do you mind if I just call it baby G?" I love it. That's much better than Dexter (no offense Dad).

So I am offering a prayer of thanksgiving for our new baby G.
