The Griesbaum Family: Big News!

Ahhhh yes!!! Gavyn is going to be a big brother! I wanted to wait until I was clear out of the first trimester to post a blog about it, but I'm just too excited, and we are close enough! We are THRILLED beyond belief to announce that in December 2011, we will be welcoming another member to our growing family! The actual due date is December 15th, but it was hard to pinpoint the beginning of the pregnancy, so they are going off measurements.

We had our first sonogram on Monday, April 30th. They said everything looks perfect. I just love seeing that little heart beating away! Its such an amazing thing.

Tyler and Kolton have already proven themselves to be stellar big brothers, and I know Gavyn is going to be amazing too. On some level, I think he knows. He is always patting and hugging my belly. He is already a big help with Evan and I know he is going to love getting the baby to laugh! I'm so excited to watch all these kids interact. I'm not too worried about Gavyn being jealous of the baby, because he is going to be such a big part in the whole experience. Siblings are such a gift and I am so happy to be able to give this to my children.

I can just feel my heart swell with joy every time I think about my life. ALL of my dreams have come true. A wonderful husband, a supportive and loving family, a house in the country, and best of all, children that I have dreamed about my whole life. I am one lucky woman! I wish I could spread my luck around like dandelion seeds to make everybody's dreams come true. I'll admit though, it wasn't all luck and through determination, we made our lives what we wanted them to be.
