The BEST Present Ever

Wow - I know I was behind for a long time with our blog updates. I've finally updated to the New Year....but now I'm gonna step back to Christmas 2010. I've not yet shared what our BEST present was of this last Christmas.

We were so very blessed this year with a lot of great memories and even some nice new material things. I could say that I'm most grateful for the camera we finally got. Something we were going to get for last year's (2009) Christmas present to each other, but we never did. But - it wasn't!

I could say - we were most surprised and excited when a new TV showed up at our front door a couple days before Christmas...with my name on it! :) Where did this come from? A really nice thank you gift from my sister. Can't say I was sad to see the big dinosaur tv we had make its way to the basement...but that wasn't the best present ever either!

We were once again crazy busy going from place to place - attending family party after family party. How blessed are we to have so many grandparents still living that we can see so many of our extended family members at Christmas. This is one of my favorite parts of the holidays...but not the best this year!

This year was especially fun to watch the kids. The sheer joy and excitement in their eyes as they finally realize they get to open presents that are just for them and on top of it spend time with Grandparents and cousins. Oh to be little again! But...that wasn't the best part ever either!


Brian and I received the BEST PRESENT EVER on Christmas Eve! We found out we are PREGNANT! We are expecting Baby Meidam #4 and he/she is due to arrive August 31, 2011. What a GIFT! You know - all the material things in the world fail in comparison to this true little miracle we've been given. I know we have a long way to go before this little one is in our arms, but I have to be positive and trust all will go well and come August - we will have another little Meidam to cuddle.


So far I've had one dr's appt at 8 weeks. We heard his/her heartbeat and were given the due date of August 31. I will be 11 weeks tomorrow and have been feeling great with the exception of being tired and needing naps at the same time as the kids on some days (which is easier said than done if Grant isn't napping that day). BUT - I will take it! I can not complain at all compared to what some of my friends have experienced!


We'd greatly appreciate your prayers for this little one and that all will go well with the remainder of this pregnancy. Thank you all in advance!
