We have been fielding a lot of questions about the silence on the blog about our pregnancy. Rest assured we are very excited to welcome our son into the world. However, we are being sensitive to the fact that we have several couple friends who desire families of their own and for various reasons are not currently pregnant. Holly and I were there. We completely understand and remember the difficulty and tears shed as people around us received the joy and blessing we were longing for. We know the heartache it took to read other’s blogs and emails. We have decided to keep our pregnancy to those who ask and those we are around. We would be elated to share pictures, stories and even tears, if need be. Rest assured that once our bouncing baby boy is on this side of the womb, stories and pictures will abound.
For an update, we are doing great. Holly feels good and is progressing normally. We are enjoying watching and feeling him move. We have officially registered at Target and have set the dates of the showers. Now we are tackling the nursery. It is going to be train themed. I loved trains growing up, so it is a natural fit for me! I am building a shelf around the top of the room for a track, and we are buying little train knickknacks for all corners!
That’s the update. Email for more info, if you wish!

Casey and I have had our own difficulties with pregancy - last year was the toughest time in our lives. We too decided to keep our excitement about our recent pregnancy to ourselves & a few close friends - our situation really changed how we approached the subject with others. However, on a much happier note, we now have a precious 1 month old baby boy, so miracles do happen every day!
Also, gotta love Target!

I say that y'all are very kind people. Just know we are praying for you two and your son, no matter what is publicly shared or not. :)
You are both very thoughtful in considering the feelings of others. Going through infertility definately makes you more aware of how other people can perceive things. That being said...you can share your excitement with us knowing that we are excited for you!
Thanks to all of you. We are very excited about our little boy and want to shout it from the rooftops, but we want to be caring and considerate at the same time.
Love you guys!

Glad to hear all is well, and I think that's very considerate of you. I wouldn't expect less! :)
As someone who has been on both sides of the fence- it's a hard balancing act. Ya'll are showing great tenderheartedness. I remember being so touched when some of my friends remembered me and considered my emotions through the process. Not everyone knows what it's like to go through infertility, and not many people know how to act either. But if you have been there you never forget and you never stop praying.

I love the train theme for the nursery - always thought those tracks around the walls near the ceilings were the coolest things in the world! Have fun building the nursery!
If you need help with the train ask Walt or my dad. Dad might even let you use some of our trains back home. They are HO scale I think. I always wanted one of those tracks too. Lucky kid!
Oh and if all goes as planned we will be in town for new years so Holly, you better be on schedule. :-) We're praying for that anyway. :-) Miss you guys.
Kilroy was here!
