Our family is growing... by 2 feet!

This announcement is long overdue, so i thought it was definitely time to start updating the blog again. For those of you that don't know, Aaron and I are having a baby!!! We found out at the beginning of December and were able to tell our immediate family during our visits home at Christmas. Of course we gave them a small gift to open of either UNC booties or socks to share the news (our little one will definitely be raised to be a Carolina fan)! On April 8th we went in for an ultrasound and found out we are having a GIRL and we couldn't be happier.
When we were choosing names we kept having trouble agreeing on boy names, but when we talked about names or a girl there was only one name that we really loved. With that being said, our little girl's name is

Emma Grace Swain

Emma is due to arrive at the end of August, so we are busy trying our best to prepare for her arrival. We are praising God for blessing us with this child and would greatly appreciate your prayers for Emma as she continues to grow and for Aaron and I as we know so little about how to raise her. We are truly blessed with family members, church family, and friends that have already come along side of us during this time through their prayers and generosity. But most of all we are grateful for a faithful God that has created Emma and pray that He will be glorified.
