It's 2009, forever the year of our first baby's birth. 2008 finished well with family and friends in LA for Christmas, and then back up in Seattle for New Year's. We received many gifts for Baby McClure (a piggy bank, learning blocks, etc). Alexis was given many compliments and congratulations, as well as recognition that in fact she had 'popped' as she had hoped. And, for the first time, the baby is beginning to make it more difficult for Alexis to sleep at night.
But with the passing of 2008 comes the commencement of 2009, the first 5 months of which being spent waiting for the arrival of our little one. Baby McClure is currently as long as an avocado, and his/her heart is pumping 25 quarts of blood each day! We are immeasurably excited for the start of '09, particularly because in merely 2 weeks we should find out the sex of our baby. Of course, of course we'll let you know (don't forget to vote, you have 12 days, it's not twins ;)
We pray 2009 will bring a healthy pregnancy to our baby and Alexis, a successful delivery in June (hopefully) and a blessed first 6 months in OUR world.
Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Yay I'm so glad you updated your blog.. I was wondering how things were going. Especially since your Christmas card didn't mention baby! I love watching your progress... Alexis.. I'm sure you know this but as far as sleeping goes.. body pillow, I would have been miserable with out it. Oh and don't even think about taking me off of that email list.. I love getting the updates!
piggy banks are a good way for babies to learn the value of a dollar since we all know baby Mc Clure will not be getting any social security...
i still say it's twins!
