We are expecting a blessing!
Words can’t even express how grateful, blessed, and excited that we are! Anthony will be a big brother, Mike a father, and I am pregnant again after almost 13 years! What a different pregnancy this will be in so many ways!
This is our christmas gift and we are so excited to be able to share this news with you now! We waited to share the news until I was 3 months and heard the heartbeat, yesterday was that day!
2013 is going to be a very big year for our family and we are so happy! Family of 4 we will be!
Thank you for all the love and support! Excited to share this journey with all of you! June 26th is when “Baby G” is due, summer baby!
Love,
Katie, Mike, and Anthony xo
p.s. The Diva Bump will be growing fast! The bump has been growing, this is a pic we took the first week we found out! You can hardly see a bump, but let me tell you it is growing and you will be getting updates on the past 3 months very soon!
