Jackson's Message

When we went to visit my family at the beginning of November, we put this shirt on Jackson and had him walk to my mom. Everyone was very surprised. Now Jackson would like to tell all of you as well...







In case you missed that, it says "I'm gonna be the big BROTHER." And he is! At the very beginning of July. They will be about 20-21 months apart and we are really excited. Yes, we know it will be hard, but it will be nice to have them so close in age as they grow older. Jackson, of course, has no clue- he is definitely still The Baby-but it will be fun to see how he reacts. So, we are 15 weeks along and feeling good now. We will let you know the gender of the baby when we find out on Feb. 2nd!
Here is our ultra sound from 7 weeks. It wasn't quite as exciting as Jackson's first ultra sound because his was done at about 11-12 weeks and as you can see in the 2nd picture, it looks like there is actually a baby in there!

Congrats Jeanne!

I think that having two is easier than having just one. (Not the delivery), but in other ways. They keep each other entertained and you already know what to expect with a new baby. I am so excited for you. Can't wait to find out what it is!

Congratulations Grossarth Family! What exciting news! It will be hard--but having your kids close is great...I can attest to that :)

I thought you told me August. Congrats and we are very excited. As I told you this is about how far our girls all were and it makes for a lot of fun. He will be such a cute big brother.

Congratulations Jeanne and Kevin, and to both of your parents as well. It is just as exciting for the grandparents as it is for the parents. It will be fun to know the gender in February.

YEAH!! We were sort of wondering at Thanksgiving, but didn't want to ask if you weren't ready to announce the big news yet. We're so happy for you guys! Jackson will be a terrific big brother. Can't wait to find out what it is. Keep us posted!

Uh, so remember how we joked that we were blog stalkers of each other at Tiff's bridal shower... Apparently you're better at that than me. I TOTALLY missed this post for some reason. Holy cow girlfriend! Congratulations!!!!

Oh, that's fantastic news! Jackson will be an awesome big brother! (And by the way, Jackson is so gorgeous! Those big beautiful eyes of his are just amazing).

Rachel said...

What a cute way to make that announcement! I love it! I'll be awaiting another announcement on Feb 2nd! Yay!

So exciting! 20 months is awesome! That's how far apart Jarom and Travis are. I'd like to think that would make you think it's do-able...but I know you've seen me in action in my crazy life too often to derive hope from that! Anyway, YOU will be wonderful! Congratulations!
