Every Story has a beginning, a middle and an end.  This story began January 1st 2014 as we decided that we were ready to try again for another child. It took us a few months of trying we were fortunate to become pregnant. It is amazing how the journey to parenthood unfolds.  I have found that when we were trying to conceive it seemed like a life time waiting for that plus sign and now we are over half way done this pregnancy and closer to meeting our baby girl. I wonder if she will have my brown hair or be a blond like her brother?
