Dear Santa,
As Maia's parents we understand if she has found herself on the naughty list. We will not be surprised if all she gets is coal!

PS- In fact we suggest that be the move you make! We will still leave cookies for you!

Exciting News!

I am FINALLY off bed rest, I was able to tell family, so now I can share.....
We are pregnant! I am June mid-June! The first trimester was VERY difficult. I am happy to now report I am up and around and we have one strong little baby!

These are all my 3- 3 1/2 month photos. Due to some of my complications, bed rest and weight gainers I have really POPPED! :)

I am so happy to be able to talk about it!
