I can feel it pushing out, and if I feel my belly with my hand, I can feel a super hard spot... a head or butt, or something! So...

Gavin Has a Brother or Sister on The Way!!!!!

We are so excited to be adding to our little family!...and to finally be able to spill the beans! (although there's something fun about keeping it a secret for awhile!)
