The Big Surprise

The big surprise is......Mei-Ling is going to be a big sister !
Melanie and Casi are expecting baby number 2 this fall. Everyone is very excited. This pregnancy seems so different for Melanie, no morning sickness which is a big blessing.
She is having lots of low blood sugars, which happens when you are type 1 diabetic and pregnant.
We were having hopes that maybe another young mother in the family might be expecting too, but not yet.
Grammie is already planning new quilts, tiny sweaters and booties to knit.
We feel so blessed to have this new baby joining our family.

ohhhhh, how exciting ! It's nice when the children are not too far apart in age ; it's a little overwhelming at first but they can play together and be very close. And I guess Grannie will be delighted to help if needed ! Congratulations to all !
