A special dedication

It never cease to amaze me how much technology can keep us connected. First email was a great thing because you could quickly and easily email friends and family to stay in touch. Now there are blogs. They are such a great way to keep connected to folks and know what's going on in their lives. I use them to stay connected to friends and their families. I know that our family uses ours to keep up with our antics. I think it is so neat that my grandparents all the way in Oregon check in on our blog to see what we are up to. This entry is a special dedication to them. They just sold their home and are exploring options on what type of place they want to move into next. Even with all of the craziness in their own life, they still keep up with the Cowley blog.

This post is to say that I love you Grandma and Grandpa. I wish we saw each other more, but I am glad you get to watch Jenna grow up through this blog. Mom told me about how you have been thinking about all of your great grandchildren. Your head count was up to 13 but then it moved up to 14 since my cousin Mark and his wife are having a baby in October. Then the count moved up to 15 since Clay and Nicole are expecting a baby in January. What a blessing to have such a big family and that you have taken the time to meet all of your great grandchildren. Well, I was running through all of the great grandkids in my head trying to count them and I think the count is 16. Yes, I think it will be 16 because JOSH and I ARE HAVING A BABY TOO!!! We're pregnant and expecting our little addition in January. So were are bumping your total up to lucky 16! I was trying to think of a way to share the exciting news with you and thought this might be fun. I am not sure when you will read this but I am excited for you to read it.

To all of our other readers, we're pregnant. I know you just read that, but I wanted to share it with you too. I am 12 weeks now. Our due date is January 17th and this pregnancy is nothing like the last one. I have had morning sickness in the form of nausea since week 5. I have also actually gotten sick numerous times with the last time being this past weekend. Not the best way to spend the 4th, but worth it when I think of the end product.

Love to you all and keep our growing family in your thoughts and prayers.
