I have been waiting to write this post for some time now, and I mulled over the headline for a long time. Ultimately, I decided not to try to get too cute with the title. Instead, I thought the direct route made more sense for my friends and acquaintances who would be interested to hear this terrific Crouch family news. 
I have been anxious to announce this for awhile, but I wanted to wait until we were a bit further along with the pregnancy. Pam, my wife, had her second obstetrician appointment today, and the baby is growing normally and doing fine - heartbeat, bloodwork, etc. We are about 12 and a half weeks along right now, and the due date is April 11th. 2009. As you already know, the likelihood of the baby being born on that actual day is somewhat slim, although my son was born on his actual due date. Since we are finishing the first trimester, we both felt comfortable sharing this info with you guys. I might have done it sooner, but Pam's point (which is valid) has been, "Who do you feel comfortable telling if there is a problem?"
Thankfully, we have already been blessed with three healthy, fun, smart, awesome kids, and we are excited about our new addition.
I did share this news with a VERY small group of friends from ActiveRain. I want to thank those of you who have kept this secret for several weeks now. If I didn't tell you, please don't feel bad, because I tried to limit it to a very select group, both online and locally. I have to talk to somebody about it, right?
I actually found out on August 12th myself, which was the same day I wrote this review of a local restaurant:
Date Night at Beluga Japanese (Pictures, too!) (LOCALISM FEATURED)
One of the reasons that I wrote that post was to commemorate the date that I found out about our newest baby, along with the location. Also, the pictures were taken in the seconds after Pam told me. This was why I switched my profile picture to the one you see now. Every time I look at it, I know what made me smile in that way.
My wife has a history of letting me know in some very cool ways. With our first baby, she managed to inform me via fortune cookie by creating a custom "fortune" and getting it into the cookie that she handed me. It said:
Roses are red, Violets are blue I'm gonna be a parent, and so are you!
I still get a little misty-eyed about that day just over ten years later. This time, she brought her camera so that "you can write a review and we can take some pictures for your blog" (she knows me too well). After she took a couple, we reviewed them, and she started scrolling through some other pictures of our kids. I started looking, too, then I saw a picture that looked oddly familiar: a positive pregnancy test.
"What is that?", she calmly asked.
"It's a pregnancy test. When was this taken?", I asked.
PAUSE.
"Are you pregnant?!"
No words needed - just a nod and a smile from my beautiful wife.
Pam and I are both only children, having been largely raised by our moms, so the second, and third, and (now) fourth child are foreign ground for us, but we are thankful to God for another rich blessing.
On another note, PLEASE pray for my wife, who feels miserably sick and tired much of the time.
She has notoriously bad morning sickness, which is really more like "all the time sickness" in her case. Obviously, we are hoping for a reprieve this time around, but (her words today, not mine) if the only result is her own suffering, it could be worse. At least the baby is okay, and the end really does justify the means in this case. Nevertheless, I would love for her to feel better. She is taking an anti-nausea medication for the first time, and it seems to help some days, but not always.
In case you were wondering, both of our older kids (9 and 7) want a baby brother to even things out around the house (two boys, two girls), plus they only have a little sister (2 and a half), so they don't know what a boy would be like yet. Since this post could be read for years to come by my family, I will not state a preference for gender here. Instead, I will lean on the more traditional statement that as long as the baby's healthy, I don't really care either way.
For those of you who are wondering why we could possibly want another baby, here are my best reasons:
Thanks for taking the time to read my exciting news! I will, of course, continue to keep everyone posted (pun totally intended).

You found out on my anniversary. Congratulations ! Children are a blessing from the Lord.
None for her.
CONGRADS to you and your wife.

MISSY - How cool! Yes, they are a tremendous blessing, and we are ecstatic. Maybe some non-alcoholic champagne for Pam?
ROBERT - Thanks!
I am one of four - we are 2 boys and 2 girls, exactly what your two older want. The im[ortant thing is that they are loved and are a joy to be treasured.
Congrats, Jason! But then, I already knew!!!
Congrats! I know that feeling of being sick all the time all too well during my first :-x
It was almost 20 years ago but I remember it like yesterday. Enjoy them to the fullest while they are young, looks like you already do :)
Much congratulations to you and your wife!!! Hope that she does feel better soon. With my first child, I had morning sickness (all day sickness) pretty much for the first three months. That baby is 28 years old now and still the light of my life- smart, beautiful, funny, and a pleasure to be around. So whatever I went through for a few months, it was well worth it for the rest of my life.
Take good care of your wife, she must be very special.
Linda
YEAH! I am so glad everybody knows and we can celebrate with you! Congrats to you and the entire Crouch family!
KAREN - Cool! You are spot-on with your comments.
RICH - Thanks, man! I made my plans firm today to be in Houston in three weeks.
RENEE - Thanks for your comments! I do try to enjoy them as much as time will allow. :)
Jason: Congratulations to you and Pam. I hope she feels better soon. And I am delighted to read GOOD news today. Each addition to your family is a blessing.
You didn't tell me?!!!!! You dirty SOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jason - I am sooooo very happy for you and your wife. Funny after reading all your blogs I feel like I know the family. LOL I am also 1 of 4 and I always loved having siblings to play with and being the oldest I loved taking care of the littlier ones. I wish you all much happiness during this special time and I hope your wife starts to feel better soon - it's awful feeling that sick. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. (As we Irish say "May God hold you in the palm of his hand") ~Anne Marie
Congratulations. I laugh since my oldest is 31 today and he has his second child on the way. Every child no matter how "old" they are or whether they are first or second generation to me is precious.
Congrats Jason... My wife and I are expecting our 1st in February! Oh Boy times 4 for you!
Jason... this is excellent news! I'm so excited for you and Pam. You are such great parents! What a blessing! I'll forgive you for not telling me... this time. :)
Hi Jason :)
Hi Pam :)
Hi Crouch kids :) :) :)
Hi Mini-Crouch-to-be-named-later :)
I'm sorry, but I'm voting for another girl. Call it a "feeling" and I will pray for all of you. I hope the sickness passes, I remember that feeling.
I'm so happy for your family. Great looking kids by the way.
Following Paul's lead... "You didn't tell me?!!!!! You dirty SOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
But, congrats my friend! You have a beautiful family! Can't wait to "meet" the newest little Crouch.
Congrats!! I wish you blessings, my friend and will pray for your wife and baby. Be blessed!
Stacey~
Well that's great news Jason. Congratulations. You are a brave man to have 4 children. I'm sure you guys are good at it though.
I hope your wife feels better soon.
Jason- 4 months ago I would not have had any idea of the excitement/joy you feel from this news...but since I recently experienced, I can totally relate. BTW- when is the due date?
Jason- Congrats on the happy news.
My daughter-in-law had bad morning sickness ands someone told her to get an electronic "zapper" bracelet, used for sea-sickness. It worked. You can get one in a boating store.
Congratulations, I have four kids, and it is definately an adventure around our house every day.... :)
I hope your wife feels better. my wife was lucky enough not to deal with too much morning sickness, but I have heard that many women have had morning sickness in a bad way. I wish her all the best.
On the other hand, congrats! We knew two was enough for us. Some like bigger families and we say 'cheers' to you. Name and sex to be named later?
I thought you guys were done!!! WOW! CONGRATULATIONS! Sorry to hear Mrs. Crouch isn't feeling so hot...poor thing!
Congratulations!! What an exciting time for your family! I also had morning sickness and a drop of peppermint essential oil or a peppermint stick usually helped.
CONGRATS Mr. and Mrs. Crouch ! Well....names, when is the baby due....are you going to provide us with an online diary of Mom and Babies progress, pictures of big bellies, ultrasounds..come on...we have watched your family grow you can't leave us hanging like this.
Hey ! I have a great idea, LET's START a CONTEST within Blast From The Past and Family Ties...NAME MR. and MRS. CROUCH's BABY, Grand Prize Winner - Gets to change DIAPERS FOR A YEAR ! sounds so cool, doesn't it ?
OMG, we need to have an online baby shower too ! I'm so excited for you guys, can you tell, can you tell ?
Congrats! I too know the feeling of being sick all of the time and the anti-nausea meds only made it worse for me. I hope she feels better soon.
Congratulations on the news. May your wife have good health and she and the new baby be happy and healthy. All the very best.
All I can say is ...
Jason...
Congratulations! I wish your wife and the baby health and happiness!
Jason,
Congratulations to you and your wife. Hope she feels better soon. I know how she feels - first four months same thing. It will go away. Thanks for sharing
Jason.. many congratulations!! Another blessing!
Jason - This is absolute great news. Wow going to have a 4th child in this time is great. Congratulation to you and your wife, hoping your wife will feel better soon.
Congratulations Jason & Pam!!! Jason, you didn't have to tell me -- I kinda knew it when I saw Pam at your AR Gathering B'day Party! :) I've been waiting for the announcement. :)
Pam -- take care, hope you feel better soon. :)
Congrats Jason, Pam and 3 oldest kids... A baby is a great blessing. Of course for some of us, grandkids are even better than real kids.

Congratulations Jason! I heard about the great news on Twitter! I hope Mommy to be feels better soon. Keep her stocked in saltines:) I routing for a girl! I loved how she "showed" you, via a picture of the positive test. Great idea!
Congrats to you and your family. I like knowing the back story regarding your picture. My prayers are with your wife to get her through everything healthy.
Congratulations on this blessing from God.
I had the classic pregnancy sickness for week 7 through 12 - maybe the same for your wife? I hope so!
Best wishes!
I am so thrilled for you! You are so lucky to be blessed with another child. Wish I could have had a houseful...so I know how excited you are. Congrats to the whole family!
What wonderful news!! Congratulations to all of you. I hope Pam is feeling better soon, but I'm sure you are doing what you can to pamper her and take good care of her.
i love that new pic of you, BTW ~ the look says it all, now that we all know what you were thinking with that "I've got a secret" Mona Lisa kinda smile!
CONGRATULATIONS Jason!! Of course, I have already congratulated you...but this is the first time I've been able to do it publicly. I'm so very happy for you and Pam. You have been so blessed with your beautiful family. I can't wait to meet my new niece or nephew in April. GBU, bro!!
Congrats Jason-I hope the Mrs. is feeling better...what a beautiful family that you have!
Jason,
Yippee for number 4. Maybe you'll have twins and catch up to me. My 5 kids are grown now, but I'm enjoying the daylights out of my grand daughter. God Bless you and your lovely family and congratulations.
Hey, Jason. I tweeted Congratulations, but came by to read the post after soccer, dinner, etc! What an awesome way for you to find out and what a great photo. Thank you for bringing me back to the days I shared with my hubby! Once, I took the pregnancy test and then let my husband look at it and tell me I was pregnant! From a mom of 4, having 4 kids is awesome.
Jason - Congratulations to you and your wife Pam on the wonderful news of your fourth child! You are truly blessed with such a beautiful family!
Jason-Congrats on baby #4. I'll say a prayer your wife's morning sickness passes and soon. NO FUN!Children are special gifts from God.
Congratulations! My husband and I both come from large families and so knew that we did not want an only child. Having two is a lot of fun; I don't see four in our future : )
Congratulations! Four is such a great number... easier than three (based on personal research)... you have pairs instead of that one "left out" member. My wife also suffered tremendous morning sickness... I wish your wife well... they go through so much to bring children into this world.
CONGRATULATIONS JASON! Ask Pam if she can hang on until April 14, OK? That's my birthday! :)
Wow - your lives are about to change again!............Congratulations...! I wish I had an answer for your wife's morning sickness....unfortunately I was always sick 4 months to the day - and then it just disappeared overnite!........chamomile tea was my best bet!
Congratulations! Back in June you told me you wanted another one but I didn't hear until now. This is the best news I have heard in a while.
I had terrible morning sickness as well. I ate a lot of jello because nothing else would stick. It sounds like you are going to be taking good care of her.
Best of luck to you and your family Jason. I hope that both the newborn and the mother wll be healthy and happy. Congratulations.
Jason - congrats! I hope she starts feeling better soon, at least you're past the 12 wk point now. I have a terrible time too - last time the doc recommended vitamin B6, not sure if she's tried that.
Jason congratulations-childeren are a blessing from the Lord. I have four teenage daughters and need to remind myself of this from time to time.
Yeee-HaaaaaaaaaaaaaH (as we sometimes say in Texas! I will pray for both of you and you know...with 4 wonderful children, people will stop inviting you over (per my grandmother) but who cares!
Congratulations Jason and Pam .. what wonderful news for your whole family.
OMG! Congratulations! How exciting for your family. My brother has 4 kids so I know they will keep you busy for years to come with all their activities. As an aunt, I've enjoyed every second. Keep us posted.
Congrats J....My wife and I just had our 5th. My sister's b-day is on the 11th. I have said a prayer for you. My wife had a miserable time with sickness through the first TWO trimesters on all except for the 5th...thankfully. I've said a prayer for your wife.....the only regrets I've ever heard are people saying that we stopped too soon! Keep that wagon rolling bro.
Congratulations....four children are great....one for each hand. Servings always come in even amounts. And the joy and delight outweigh the large family syndrome accidents and trips to the ER.
I have four as well. My daughters are bookends, with the twin sons in the middle.
TO ALL: Thank you so much for the kindness and support that I have seen in each of your comments. I wish I could say that the sickness part will disappear after the first three or four months, but that has not been the pattern at all with our first three. With my son, she was literally sick until after the delivery happened. Her diet was very limited because nothing would stay down, so she jokes that our son is made of orange soda and Ramen noodles.
As I said, the sacrifice is worth it, and that is according to HER, not simply my own opinion on the matter. After all, at the end, you get a new person! We have tried almost every remedy suggested here, including peppermint, chamomile, ginger, B6, and she is taking an anti-nausea medication some days which seems to work intermittently.
It is really hard for me to see her suffer so much, so I do really appreciate your prayers over the next few months, both for the health of the baby and for my wife's health, strength and energy.
MARILYN - I am going to find one of those bracelets you mentioned - why not, right?
Congratulations my friend! I am glad to hear that all is going well. We will be praying for your wife too.
Although I don't really know you, I feel like I do after reading your blog over the past month or so. Congrats on the new addition to your family! I really hope your wife feels better soon!

Congratulations you two. So happy for you and I hope the sickness goes away quickly. The pics of your kids are great! :)
Jason, that is so AWESOME!!!!! I will pray for your wife. :)
Jason, YIPEE! Congrats to you & your beautiful wife. I can so feel the exciement! We will pray that she feels better during this one... has she tried any herbs?
Hugs& GBU, Ginger
Jason, my friend, I'm so glad it's all going well! I assumed that no news was good news. I'm so tickled for you both and honored that I was one you shared the great news with.
Give Pam hugs for me and I will pray she gets over the ickyness...I want her to enjoy it too!
Lotsa love,
Deb
Jason, congratulations on the three blessings you already have and the fourth that's on its way!
Jason congratulations to you all... nice to hear some good news. What a blessing! Coming from a two girl two boy family myself ( 2nd girl) I am with your kiddos - even steven . It was great growing up, but of course healthy and whatever is fine right? I think I heard that acupuncture can do some wonders for morning sickness and it really looks much scarier then it is... maybe it's worth a shot???
I'm so happy for you both, the whole family actually, and wish you the very best! What a lucky little baby this is to have such a wonderful family waiting to welcome it!
Jason,
That is simply awesome! Congratulations to you and your family. I think that the new addition is a very lucky child and one day he/she will know that as well. Congrats again!
What a Blessing Jason - I will pray she feels healthy and strong !
God bless your entire family:)
Sincerely,
Grace
Thankfully, we have already been blessed with three healthy, fun, smart, awesome kids, and we are excited about our new addition.
That's wonderful news, Jason!
Here's a little tip to help cheer up your wife. After May of next year, you will only need ONE MORE CHILD to have a basketball team! :)
Congratulations to Jason & Pam. Children are blessings and a nice big family is great fun especially on holidays. Hope Pam's morning sickness goes away soon.
Congratulations to you both Jason! That's neat how your wife is so creative when passing along the exciting news. I hope her pregnancy goes well and that your family is blessed with the new baby on the way.
Wow congrats, that's awesome. Big families are great; I wish you guys the best!
Congratulations to you both Jason! I am very happy for you. Pray that your wife gets better. She is healed in Jesus name. Very nice pictures of your children. And thanks for accepting my Twitter invitation. I am still trying to figure this Twitter thing out. Great post.
congratulations. when you see pictures like that , and a great headline, stock market woes, and credit crisis talk seems a lot less significant
Congratulations Jason,
Y'all are such a great family. I am so pleased about your new addition.....
Congrats on the 4th! You have beautiful children. I will pray for your wife. God Bless!
Jason, Congratulations on the announcement of a new beautiful baby coming. You are your wife are blessed and BRAVE too. You have 3 little ones now. Your wife must be an angel! I have 2 teenage daughters - I love them dearly, but 2 is good. Best wishes and thanks for sharing the wonderful news!
LOVE to hear this! CONGRATS to you & your lovely wife, and your kids as well! Enjoy those little ones- as many as the Lord will bless you with! No matter what people say! He knows how much you can handle, and if it is 4 (or more) so be it! Celebrate it! As you have :) Great job! Looking forward to the updates! And your wife is totally in our prayers!
Oh Jason, how did I miss this! Congratulations. I dont know how life would be.... one itself is draining me..... I'll say a prayer for your wife. It's misareble. Hint, hint: Be sweet and let her have her way. Score your points that way!
WOW! Another one to take over your blogging empire. Congrats!
Take Time To Watch Them Grow!! Never Be To Busy!! Kids Are What We Do All This For!!. My wife and I have 6 betwenn us and 4 grand kids. What fun just to see them "DO OR DON'T DO" Lots of work but I would do it all again and again. Enjoy Them Jon
I challenge your unborn child to a foot race.
Congratulations Jason! Children are such a blessing and you are surely blessed to have 3 and one on the way.
Congtats Jason...As the mother of 7 I know it doesn't matter if its the first or the 4th it's still a great expectation. With a wonderful new personality and direction.
Thanks, everyone, for your prayers, and I'm trying to have faith that this sickness will end soon. Even when I take medicine for the nausea, I can still feel pretty weak and sick. So far, I've lost significant weight, but it has slowed down a lot, and I'm able to eat a bit more.
We love kids, and are really looking forward to another baby. It used to be that whenever we would ask our oldest how many kids we should have in our family, he would always say, "ten." So, not sure if we have time for that many, but, almost halfway there...
Paul, my unborn child accepts your challenge of a footrace, but wants to defer it until he grows feet.
Jason- congratulations to you and your wife! I got a bit teary eyed reading this! It brought back memories of our beginnings of a family. When I told my husband I was pregnant with our second child, he didnt believe me. Even when I showed him the pregnancy test! He thought I did it on the computer!
Photo, by the way! It's a keeper!
Congrats!
We have 4 kids and it is so much fun. We wouldn't change it for the world! I pray that your wife starts to feel better soon. I was the sickest, by far, with my 4th one. I even had vertigo, so the 2nd 1/2 of my pregnancy I couldn't lay down and close my eyes w/ out feeling dizzy. Slept w/ 2 to 3 pillows under me and on the couch alot of nights.
Brooke
Jason, Kudos and Congrats on the new baby! May God bless you and your family and keep everyone safe and healthy. :-)
Jason - Congrats on the new baby coming and I hope your wife is healthy and happy. You have some wonderful looking children.
Congratulations Jason and family. That was a great way to find out. I hope that your wife has an easier time this time with the "morning sickness"
Congratulations! Can I babysit?
Pam, I was sick the entire time with both my kids. Maybe that is why I only had two when I wanted four. :-)
Jason - Congratulations! I hopes your wife's sickness doesn't leave her too miserable. I noticed that your wife mentioned 10 as your son's recommended goal. This would be amazing, but you better pick up the pace. Five year intervals just won't get it done :)
Pam - Oh sure, start adding conditions. Next thing I know, you'll claim that being tethered to an umbilical cord will be a hindrance as well. I see your game.
Congratulations, you should post this in the Family Ties group. (LOL)
Just thought I would try one of those cut & paste comments, but I guess you don't deserve that. I'm glad your family is growing as it will give you many more funny posts as the child grows up and gives you funny little sayings that you can share with the world.
That is amazing news. Awesome, way to go, Crouch Family!
Congrats!
Bo
Jason ... I kept it a secret!
Congrats and did she have a special way to announce to you this past time?
Somebody's seeds are doing a damn good impression of Michael Phelps.
Congrats to the entire Crouch family, let's hope the up and comer gets Pam's looks:-)
Jason - Congratulations! I will pray for your wife's "all day" sickness. I know what she going through, because mine lasted all day too... :)
WOW! Grats! I don't know how people do it!
I've got just my daughter (2 year old) that lives with us and she keeps us PLENTY occupied!
Congrats to you & your wife, Jason. I came from a family with 4 siblings & have lots of good memories. We are still close & are now sharing taking care of our 87 yr old parents-a group effort.
Crackers before even getting out of bed helped my morning sickness (lots of crumbs in the bed, tho).
Congratulations Jason & Pam! Hopefully the morning sickness will pass quickly :) Just curious - did she break the news about the other two over a Japanese meal too?
A couple of people asked about Pam's methods for breaking the news to me. This time, I was looking through photos on her camera and there was a picture of a positive pregnancy test in the mix. She thought it was more creative (and hygenic) than bringing the actual test to dinner.
With our first, she told me over Chinese food (in a fortune cookie). The second time, she just woke me up excitedly to let me know. The third time, she tried leaving the test around in various places so that I would find it, but I was too dense and kept missing it, so she sort of threw it at me one night when I was watching TV.
Jason,
Great news!!! Sorry for the late jump in...been busy with kid demands, myself!!! Thanks, Fran
Jason- Congratulations! I am so happy for you. I loved being pregnant, actually. The miracle growing inside of me no matter how many times it was, was always so amazing. Watching the birth of a child is a testiment that there is a GOD. 4 is a fun number. I was always better with the even numbers of kids than odds.
The jokes that people made of my having so many kids used to bother me when I was younger. Now they don't. I just say they are jealous really! Boy, did I get my share, especially when I was pregnant.
Giving God's children a physical body is a holy and righteous calling. Motherhood is next to Godhood. It is the most sacred of all our duties to God.
Your wife is in my prayers.
If it turns out ugly and you all don't want it - I'll be happy to take him/her off your hands. As much as I'm jonesing for a baby, I would gladly skip the nausea to get to the main act. Hmmmm.... what should we name him?
Seriously... as the official holder of the name book - I get first dibs on naming Loveseat Jr.!
Jennifer - I actually have a boy's name picked out already, but not a middle name. If it's a boy, I want to name him after my close friend David who died six months ago. However, I am open to suggestions for middle names and girl names!
I don't know how I missed this post! Congatulations to you and Pam and your kids on the newest member of the family. This is *the* best news possible. Better than new business or more money or a bigger house or 500 comments, this is your life! I couldn't be happier for you. When I first saw your new profile picture, I *knew* you had a certain "look" on your face .....;-)
Congratulations on your news. I LOVE babies, it's such a special time. Big families are so much fun, it's a party all the time. We have 5 children and there's never a dull moment....................
I FORGOT to congratulate you on your 4th child...I have been praying for you, along with the leadership of "Christianity and Real Estate"...and just forgot.....
Forgive me PWEEZE???
BTW..that morning sickness WILL pass in time (I hope)
=-)
Adding my congratulations here Jason, I am sure your whole family is completely excited with the news.
Dear Jason, God's blessings to you and your wife and family. I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner! I have so happy for you all!
Your family is about tho get that much bigger, but that much better at the same time! We wish all the best for you and your fourth little blessing!
Congrats and now I understand your 'glow'. I didn't know that guys could get the 'pregnancy glow' LOL - Hope your wife's morning all day sickness goes away ;)
Congrats to your whole family on your news!! I hope Pam feels better soon and the baby is happy and healthy!
I missed this one Jason. Congratulations to you and your wife on the good news.
That's so great, Jason! Congratulations to both of you!
I feel your wife's pain. I had the same thing, only worse, throughout by entire pregnancy. That's why in our family, there will be only one. In that respect, I guess it was a good thing that Adam was born so early, LOL! They have morning sickness lollipops now, she could try lemon drops, ginger snaps, and little things that look like a watch that you wear on your wrist. They emit a slight electric pulse on your pressure point that can help with nausea and morning sickness. I tried them all and was on the medicine. Poor thing, I really feel for her!
BTW, Adam was born April 12. It's a lucky day!
Congratulations! You were already a great dad. Now you'll be a great dad to one more person!
CONGRATS!!!
Here is a surprise gift idea for your wife and child when they come home...check out StorkNews.com
Then click on the Locator in the upper right corner to see if a franchise serves your area. My wife and I came home to find this great surprise waiting for us and it was awesome! WE liked it so much that when we found out the business for sale locally, we bought it! Everytime I put one up, the parents just love it.
If they don't have a franchise to serve your area, you can still get the little bundle that hangs from the beak with the baby's birth information sent to you by mail and hang it on the door to help announce the birth to neighbors and friends! Congrats again to you and your family!
Wow, that's so awesome, congratulations! I liked your stories too, about finding out. Funny stuff.
