Your thoughts and prayers have helped us through this wonderful journey. We could not be any happier and feel so blessed to have a healthy and beautiful baby boy to have joined our family. Thank you for your love, support and prayers; without them we would not be where we are today.
With love,
Christian, Joelle and Ty

At last, we call ourselves a family!

Active Baby!


This weekend we went camping with my Mom, Vince, Sandy, Shane, Branden, and our dogs. It was such a great time. Food was excellent, and the company was even better! We played games around the campfire, relaxed and played in Lake Michigan, and did a whole lot of laughing. Pacey and Riley even got to go swimming for the first time. Great memories!



We are just over 11 weeks pregnant. Today we got to hear baby's heartbeat for the first time via doppler, then we had another ultrasound and were again amazed at what we saw. Baby was kicking and waving its arms all over, and moving up and down and side to side in the amniotic fluid. It was so cute. The doctor was having a hard time getting baby's measurements; she kept saying "Oh my gosh, this is such an active baby! Slow down baby!". I'm sure at this rate baby will be exhausted by the time (he's) born, and just want to sleep all through the nights! (Haaah!) The heart rate was 162. The length matches up to a due date about 5 days earlier, so he's doing very well. Along with our doctor, we have decided to skip our next two week appointment and go back in four weeks for our next visit.
