Clara & Janie are thrilled to announce that we will be welcoming a baby boy into our family in the early spring. Adding to our family has something that has been in our hearts for a while but actually making the decision to go for it ended up being one of the toughest but most well thought out decisions of our marriage. Admittedly, after going for such a long stretch without good sleep from Janie, we felt like we needed a while to rest up and then once we decided to try the road wasn't as easy as it had been with the girls. Where Scout and Gem are 2 years, 7 months apart, "Finch" as we have decided to call him, follows Janie by 4 and a half years.
Then recently, learning that we are having a BOY was a big shock, for me especially. I assumed that we would be having a third girl, while Kevin remained open to the possibility of a son. Now that it is sinking in, we are extremely excited about the change in our family dynamic. Janie is over the moon to become a big sister while Clara remains fairly apprehensive remembering all to well how Janie changed her life. We question whether Janie's tune will change once he is here! Even if there are a few growing pains for our family, the idea that we will have the love of another person to love is ultimately the best long term outcome.
