We Needed a…

January 30, 2017 by Aliesha

… Tiebreaker!!

Yes… we are excited to announce that our tiebreaker baby is on the way!  Baby number FIVE will be SO loved by his or her big siblings, parents, cousins, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and church family.

We are richly blessed.  And we all really love donuts too (hence the big smiles).

It was harder than I anticipated to get a proper photo!!

Theodore: “Okay, Mom, I’ve held this donut long enough! May I please eat it now??”

And I realize now that it looks like I’m announcing that our tiebreaker is “pink,” but we actually won’t know that for a while!  We will be finding out this time (I was outvoted!), but not until probably late March.

We took a video of us telling our exciting news to the children!  They were thrilled.

And more excitement…

Thank you for sharing in our joy… and for understanding why I haven’t been blogging as much lately! Lots of “morning” (all day) sickness has kept me doing just the bare minimum lately and not a whole lot else.

Happy Monday!

    Oh, how wonderful! What a joy to hear of God’s blessing on you!! This reminds me so much of my pregnancy with Benjamin–announcing in January, due in September. It brings back so many sweet memories, and I am so excited to follow along with you as you go through this pregnancy. I’ll be praying for your health and baby’s health and an abundance of strength for you! 🙂

      Thanks so much, Davene! Interestingly enough, this will be my fourth pregnancy where I’m due in August/September! Ha! Thanks for your prayers.

        Wow! I knew you had several birthdays during that time period already, but I didn’t realize this would be the fourth! Something about that Christmas/New Years season must be magical for you. 😉 😉 😉

          February 1, 2017 at 1:23 pm

          Yes, magical! 😀

    Hey, Aliesha! You’re missed here in the blogosphere, but it’s good to see through the Instagram pictures that things are (hopefully?) going a bit smoother, at least. 🙂
