6 Weeks

Who would think that 6 weeks would be such a monumental time in a person's life?

Well, that is definitely the case in the Blount Party. Today we are officially 6 weeks pregnant. Almost, halfway through our the first trimester. Boy, does it seem like time has flown by. Ok, maybe it didn't, since we found out about our little miracle last week. Andy is finally coming out of his haze. For two days, he was in a daze. After our visit with the ob/gyn, he exploded with excitement, calling everyone he could think of. He is a great Dad!

Then there are the girls. The girls have been equally emotional. Grace broke out in tears. She was thrilled. She told us through her tears, "I don't know why I am crying." Typical female, but then again, Grace is only 6. Anna also broke out in tears, but instead she cried out, "NO! I don't want you to go to the hospital." After we explained to her that mommy was going to be fine, and I won't be going to the hospital soon. She perked right up and offered to share her bedroom with her new baby brother. Anna is 4.

In one short week, life as we knew it ceased to exist. It's funny because "We're having a baby!" has become our new "hello". With those 4 simple words, our life has come unglued. Yet as we put our life back in order, what emerges is something more beautiful than I can even describe.

We are no longer Andy, Elissa, Grace, and Anna. We are Blount Party of 5!

So who will this new little Blount be? Find out Summer of 2008.

But if you are like me and can't wait that long, tune in, and we can discover together.

Much love,
