An Exciting Announcement

We have an exciting Case family announcement, and I'm just going to go ahead and slide it on in on an unassuming Sunday morning and see if anyone notices.

Ta da!

Wait for it.

Wait for it.

Do you get it?! If it's still not clear, let me show you another picture that might make everything more obvious:

That's me... EIGHT WEEKS PREGNANT!

Hurrah!

Yes, we are expecting our fourth child sometime in mid-October. I had planned on holding off on an announcement for yet a few more weeks, until the first trimester was done, but as you can see, I'm showing. Big time. As in, three weeks ago, at a mere five weeks pregnant, I was already wearing maternity clothes and deflecting questions from curious strangers. And now, three weeks later, people just assume and offer their congratulations.

(There is only one baby in there. We checked. One happily growing, mama-sick-making, demanding little tiny baby, but still, only one.)

So we are rejoicing, and sharing with you, and of course, coveting your prayers and your hopes and your moral support. Having a baby is never easy, and our particular life circumstances are making it a little trickier than normal, even for us. But we are so excited!

So very excited!
