    Haaaa, I guess you preserved your right to privacy with repeated assurances of “Noooo, we are NOT trying to get pregnant…” as recently as October 😉

    Anyways, congratulations to the family! What will Sadie say now that she has to be a big sister?

      I am SO excited about this! I always tell Ryan that if he is half as good of a dad to our little one that he is to Sadie, we’re in for a treat! <3

    I echo the sentiments that everyone else in the comments stated. So odd being excited for someone you don’t really “know” but excited nonetheless! Congrats!
