New Adventures!!

Well Josh and I are not only getting ready to move, but we are getting ready to WELCOME A PRECIOUS BABY into the world!! We found out Wednesday that God has blessed us with a sweet little poppy seed in my belly!!! We are overwhelmed with JOY, EXCITEMENT, and still a little bit of SHOCK!! But we can't wait to meet our little one! It is just so amazing to me how God works.

Before Josh and I even knew that we were expecting, we had decided that we weren't going to tell ANYONE, not even our parents. But when that time actually came, it was too good not to tell, so we called our parents Wednesday night and told them the good news!!! They are all thrilled to death, so thrilled to death, that they couldn't keep the secret for very long. I made some annoucements to surprise all of our family and friends with. The facial expressions were priceless!!!

I know the next question is "Have we got names picked out?"
Of course we do, FOR NOW!
If it is a girl, she will be named Madyson Kathryn Elliott, and we will either call her Maddie or Maddie Kate!! Josh likes Maddie and I like Maddie Kate!! If it is a boy, he will be named either Lawford Seth Elliott or Seth Lawford Elliott. I want to call him Lawford and Josh wants to call him Seth!! And if you're wondering where the names came from. I have always loved Madyson and my middle name is Kathryn, and I wanted my last name in the mix as well, and Josh's middle name is Seth.

Just please keep us and our little one in your prayers!!
Hope yall have a wonderful night!!
WE ARE SOOOOO EXCITED!!!!
It's Positive and the Doctor confirmed it!!! YAY!!
