Pleasantly Surprised!

Hi, everybody!  It seems that we should have done this a while ago!  Tara and I have been surprised at the number of people who have read our first 2 posts (2500 people in about 48 hours), and are very thankful for the overwhelmingly loving messages and encouragement we've received - even from people we've never met.  As I said in the first post, we're blessed with a HUGE network of family and friends.  It looks like that network is only going to grow from here!  A special hello to those reading from Germany, the UK, Brazil, Poland, and the Dominican Republic.

As far as updates go, there's nothing new to report at the moment, so I'll keep it short.  We're just continuing on as normal, and have started getting Dade's room together.  Thank you, Lulu (Cynthia, Tara's mother) for all of your help getting the closet cleaned out!  It's amazing how much stuff two people can accumulate over 6 years. Room decorating will kick into high gear as soon as I'm finished with school in a few weeks.  I have some sanding, priming, and painting to do, but I don't think it will take too long.  I've said that before though...

One little thing I want to point out too, is that we've added a list of important dates to the right sidebar. We'll list things like upcoming doctor appointments so that everybody can be praying specifically on those days.  Number one on the list is this coming Wednesday morning, May 7th.  We'll go to UAB for Dade to have a prenatal echo-cardiogram.  The doctors have looked at his heart a few times already and say that all is functioning as normal.  However, since birth defects tend to come in twos, and the heart is the most common place for another defect to manifest itself, they're doing the cardiogram to check things out more thoroughly.  We would greatly appreciate your prayers for good news that day.  We'll of course update here once we get some results.

We love you all!
