A Crazy Beautiful Surprise

Baby,

Oh what an adventure life has been and you, my love, were another crazy beautiful surprise.

On July 2, 2014 Mommy got one of her "feelings". Within moments two bold bright pink lines appeared on that little white stick! Holy Cow! Here we go again.

It wasn't exactly how we planned, but if there is one thing you should know about your family little one, its this...Nothing EVER goes as planned in the Gilbertsen/Hill Casa! And its totally awesomely okay. Somehow, someway, it ALWAYS turns out beautiful.

We were so excited to share your news with close family and friends. Because of Mommy's two uteri Big Brother was a miracle all in his own. We were scared with him, and each week that he grew and stayed cozy was a blessing of life. We thought we'd lose him any day but he made it, he's here. God is so great to us! 

So, sharing "We're expecting" news was something that we didn't quite get to do with big brother till much later in our pregnancy, when we knew he had a chance to survive outside of Mommy's womb. Since we had such a successful first pregnancy doctors were optimistic that this pregnancy would be smooth sailing. Oh the joy! It was music to our ears.

We got the cutest Big Brother shirts for your brother Declan and fur brother Backes. They wore them so proudly for you. Everyone, I mean everyone, was over the moon! You are so loved!

                                          

At 10 weeks, the world knew about your arrival after Big Brothers birthday (thanks to Aunt Jessica and her fabulous movie making skills). You were growing wonderfully, you were cozy, you were safe, your heart beat at 171, you were making mommy incredibly sick :), and you were our wiggly moving worm. Welcome to our family sweet Baby!
