Christmas ’09, A New Year & A New Fungbaby

Date: 2009.12.29 | Category: Fungbaby 2 | Tags: Fungbaby 2

A happy holiday season to you all! We hope this message finds you all well, in good health and good spirits.

Christmas 2009 started off with a blizzard in Maryland – 18 inches of snow fell in a 24 hour period – what a beautiful mess! It was the perfect way to go into the Christmas week – knowing for sure that we were going to have a  white Christmas….

We had a wonderful celebration with Alison, Matt and Brandy before we packed up and headed to Chattanooga to celebrate with David’s family in Tennessee. We had a great visit down South and Nellie celebrated with her Korean relatives, got to meet her 2nd cousins, her 1st cousin Barett, and her Great-Grandmother Hilda. While we were there, we enjoyed the sights and sounds of Chattanooga and went to see the Garden of Lights at Rock City, rode the antique carousel at Coolidge Park, and just had a great time enjoying family.

And as we approach the eve of new year’s eve and prepare to welcome in 2010, we wanted to share our little bit of news with you all…Nellie Rose is going to be a big sister in July!

Yep…that’s right…a new Fungbaby will come into the world on or about July 11, 2010.  Erin is right at 12 weeks along and we just went for the second ultrasound this past Monday to have the neuchal fold test (Down’s syndrome) and to make sure that everything else looks good. We are happy to report that all is well and that Fungbaby 2 is developing nicely.

We are excited, scared, feeling blessed and totally overwhelmed at all the same time – on most days, Nellie Rose has us so busy that we hardly remember that we are pregnant Nellie and her sister/brother (not sure yet – have to wait 6-8 more weeks to find out gender) will be 15 months apart and it is going to be one heck of an adventure having two under two; we encourage you all to go ahead now and make the appropriate financial investments in diaper and formula stock – they are sure to rise when July rolls around We appreciate you keeping us in your thoughts and prayers in the months ahead and we will be sure to keep you all in ours.

As the hour grows late – you know you are getting old when 11:30 is way past bedtime – I must wrap this up and will be sure to pick up with more in the days and weeks ahead.

Oh…one final administrative matter. We are going to keep www.fungbaby.com up and operational (thank you Matt W.) and will not be creating a new site for baby 2. Rather, we will just have to adjust our management of our entries and actually start to tag entries to keep things organized…let the fun begin!

We hope you all have a restful, safe, blessed and happy new year! We look forward to hearing from you all and will be sure to keep you all posted on the Fungtastic days/weeks/months ahead.
