Exciting News!!

The Scifres family traditionally has been known as a couple that has been slow to respond to e-mail, often neglects their Facebook accounts, and certainly would never be caught dead starting a blog!

However, there is one occasion (and one occasion only) that could make Steve and Mary consistent visitors to the world of blogging......................MARY'S PREGNANT!!!

Today marked our second visit to the doctor where we saw the little girl or guy fidgeting around while we listened to its rapid heartbeat.  The doctor reports the baby is healthy and Mary is right where she should be for 11 weeks.  Our next appointment is a month away and the doctor says we might be able to receive the news as to what color (pink or blue) the baby room is going to be painted.

Leading up to our visit today, the past ten weeks have been quite an exciting time for our family.  Hearing the baby's heartbeat for the first time a few weeks ago was something we will never forget.  Mary has certainly had an up and down few weeks with the pregnancy.  As opposed to being nauseous for 50 % of her life, Mary discovered pregnancy made her nauseous for about 99.9% of her life.  The last week or so has been a little easier on her (and Steve) as she has finally been able to be more active and actually leave the house every once in a while!

We are very excited to share the news with everyone in the family!  We will keep everyone updated as frequently as possible and are ecstatic to be bringing a new member into our family!

Our little peanut at a little over 11 weeks.
