Some Exciting News!

This past week I got a phone call from my brother out in North Carolina.  I was napping when the phone rang so I missed the call, but when he sent me a text message a minute later that sounded urgent I woke up and called him back.

I was not expecting to hear what came out of  his mouth next... "Nicki, you're going to be an Aunt!"  That's right ladies and gentlemen, my big brother and his wife Melanie are going to have a baby!!!!

I am so overjoyed for the two of them and am praying that things continue to go smoothly through the first trimester.  It looks like the due date will be some time in early October.  Melanie and her family are all wanting a little girl but my brother, myself and mom are all hoping for a little boy.  We will all be thankful, however, for a healthy baby - boy or girl!

I'm thinkin' that little guy or girl is going to be needing this with my name on it! What do you think?

If you're interested you can keep up with their newly started blog that will keep you updated on their new life as the Koch's plus one!

It seems like just yesterday that the two of them were sharing their first kiss as husband and wife... Now they are going to be parents.

Tony and Mel, I am so happy for the two of you and cannot wait to have that little peanut in my arms.  God has blessed you two with so much love for one another and I can't wait to see what this next year has in store for your lives.  Thank you both for loving me so much and for giving me the opportunity to be an Aunt!  I can't wait until October!!!
