The Announcement!

It was so much fun announcing our Greenie Baby to you on Wednesday!  We received hundreds of comments on Blogger, Twitter, Facebook, and emails about our big news!  Josh and I really enjoyed going though them all and it made our anniversary even more special.  We are so fortunate to have all the prayers, support and encouragement from you all!

We had a lot of fun telling my parents and grandparents a few weeks ago too.  I’ve got it all on video, so I can share it with you…  Enjoy!

My favorite quote from this video is my Mom saying… “I love shoes!”

My favorite quote from this video is my Grandpa saying… “By George!”

Stay tuned for more Greenie Baby updates!

    Lauren,

    I have just been reduced to tears watching your parents reaction. Your Mother is precious and your Father is a true gem. His response is priceless and the way he studies the photo is so sweet :) And your grandparents, can I adopt them for my own? The are full of cuteness!

    We have not told our parents yet...I know, seems strange to tell all our BLM friends and not the parents, but I guess you all are my comfort zone in these early days.

    Thank you for sharing this with me, as it means the world :) The little Pumpkin and the Greenie Baby are due just 13 days apart. I look forward to our journey.

    And your Mother rubbing your belly and saying "there's a baby in there", more tears.

    Love to you,
    xxx

    Lauren-

    I have been reading your blog for a while now, don't remember how I found you. But, honestly, I had a thought in the back of my mind that you would be announcing this miracle any day! :) I just now checked, and I know it sounds strange to say to someone I've never met, but I am SO HAPPY for you. What a miracle! And your new Greenie Baby has some very special guardian angels watching over and standing guard! :) Congratulations and God Bless you!!!!
