Yupp, Doreen and I are adding an addition and starting a family, who we have nicknamed “Peanut”! We have been on Cloud 9 with joy since hearing the news, so just a warning that this email may have a lot of exclamation points! Doreen is due on September 11, 2010. However, I may be trying to get Doreen to start pushing a few days before to stay away from that date! 
The best news is that to date Doreen and Peanut are both healthy and doing very well! Overall, Doreen has had a pleasant pregnancy and we hope those days are to continue! Isn’t it funny when you grew up you always thought you knew what gender you wanted your child to be, but then the news comes and all you care about is health? It was very exciting for us to be able to tell our families, everyone is so excited! A couple of weeks ago at the doctors we were able to hear Peanut’s heartbeat for the very first time, truly an amazing and sureal sounds. 151 beats per minute!
In the past week we had the chance to see Peanut for the very first time, the best sight to see! If I didnt know, I swear Peanut was bouncing on a trampoline. The best part is when Peanut waved to us (see picture below). It felt like Peanut was saying “hello there, I am on a trampoline having a blast!”.
Thanks to our families, far and near for all the support you have been giving us, we are so excited to share this with all of you! Also, Congratulations to Doreen who will be a wonderful Mom!
Only 12 exclamation points……..welcome to the “new normal”.
yippee! can’t wait to meet your little peanut. congrats, love you both!!
WHAT??? Congrats! so happy for you both!
