Oh Baby!


This blog has served as a place to journal about my daily life, a creative outlet and for communicating with family & friends, near & far. I usually don't share things too personal about myself, my son or my husband-those who are close to us know the things we want. So, many of you already know by now that we are excitedly expecting and awaiting the birth of a baby girl in just over ten weeks!

I cannot express the excitement and anticipation this has been... for the last several years....waiting for this sweet spirit. Grant has also been patiently waiting and is thrilled to be a big brother and talks all the time about baby. He touches my tummy almost as much as I do!

We are appreciative to those of you who have seen us through this, loved us, prayed for us and continue to do so. I truly can say that being a mother has been the most rewarding opportunity I have had.

With this said, let the fun of decorating begin! And updates to follow of course...

What a great photo! I love everything about it. You are so good Kim. Look at your belly! A little girl? Oh, we're so happy for you! You guys are adorable. I'm so jealous of your Thanksgiving card idea, I with I would have thought of that-making the Christmas holiday a little more simple. 10 weeks? YAY! Congrats!

I am super duper happy that you put that picture up. How else am I suppose to see that cute little belly all the way out in Korea. I really want to see how the Nursery turns out.
Cool for Grant to get a sand box.
Love the pictures of Heather and her family alot. I hope someday you will have the time in Oregon to photograph the Hales.

Apparently many of you are interested in seeing pictures of the new baby's room. Lucky for all of you I have some sneak peaks from a month ago and am willing to sell them to the highest bidder
