Another one for the Zirker clan.

We had a wonderful time at Disneyland a few weekends ago, but ride-wise, this trip was a little more mellow than most, since there a lot of rides that:

That's right, after three and a half years of marriage and a year and a half of fruitless attempts, we finally figured it out.

I'm going to have a baby, folks!

I'm not quite ready to display the inside of my uterus on the world wide web just yet, but to satisfy your curiosity, Little Richards will debut in late October and looks a lot like a peanut at this point in time. When there's more to see, I'll let you know.

I will, however, give you a belly shot at nearly 12 weeks:
Did I fool you? Okay, nor am I ready to show you the belly that's just about the same size it has been since wedded bliss expanded my horizons (and measurements). When there's something to see, you'll see it. Until then, Buddy makes a great surrogate.

Buckle your seatbelts for a whole lot of chubby:

and even more cute:

This will be grandchild #13 on the Richards side, but wonderfully Grandma & Grandpa are just as excited as if it were the first... which is true for the Haw side of things. We're SO excited to make grandparents out of my parents (although - and my dad will confirm - they are too young to have grandchildren), aunts and uncle out of my siblings, and great-grandparents on both sides of my family! Talk about spoilage!

Thank you for all of your love and support. We couldn't be more excited!
