Exciting news in the Garrett house

In a move that defies all logic and common sense we in the Garrett house have decided to add to our brood. Yes, it has definitely been an exciting year in the Garrett household. Both Brody and Brady are incredibly thrilled. So thrilled in fact that they spilled the beans at their schools really early. Brady insists that if it's a boy he wants to "send it back". I'm not quite sure he understands there's no chance of that happening! They also want to be in the delivery room-another event that isn't happening. Either way, both of the boys have been practicing good big brother skills and are shaping up to do a great job.




Now in addition to all of the other things that we have to be thankful for, we are praying for a healthy new child in 2010. This new kid is scheduled to arrive on June 5th or so, but we don't really count on those dates in our house.

We had a rocky start to this blessed event and therefore wanted to keep it under wraps as long as possible. We had several "threatened miscarriage" episodes early on. However, we have now had our second trimester (seventeen week & gender-determining) ultrasound and things look great! We have had a picture taken that specified gender, however, we aren't looking. We also have narrowed down names, but that information is top secret, too. I'm sure we'll still be having "heated discussions" regarding names until the folks from the social security office come to our room at the hospital...or until hospital security is called to break it up.

So, now you know the really big stuff that's been happening with us. Thanks for reading and we'll post here as soon as he or she arrives. We would love to have anyone come to visit...after August 1st. We need a few weeks to get ourselves situated.
