Happy Thanksgiving

Those who know me, know I love the number 5.  Well, here is the announcement that in 2015, there will be 5 Southern Kellings!  2014 was a pretty rough year, but it has had great moments.  We waited until our future was a bit more predictable job wise to try for kid number 3, but we did not want to space out kids too much.  Additionally, we did not want me to be much older since many risks increase with age.  Happily, we can announce that baby Kelling is low risk for chromosomal disorders based on a Panorama test and the nucal fold test.  We will have the anatomy scan in early January.

We just told the girls after the results came in. They are very excited.  Zoey wants a sister named Flower, although Samantha was wearing a flower sweater so that may have inspired her name choice.  She also has no real concept of time, so the many weeks to go will seem long to her.  Sam is thrilled and promises to be a big help.  I am hopeful that both will enjoy a baby.  I know Zoey will have some issues becoming a middle child, but her spunk should help her through that.  She is our little spit fire.  They have enjoyed telling a few of our friends.

More updates to come....

Have a great Thanksgiving!

I know you cannot get much from these early images, but here are some of the first pictures.
