We are soooo happy and surprised! Thanks all! :D

When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love


For Mom--
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

Fly...fly high against the sky...
Thank you, thank you, thank God for you
The wind beneath my wings

Oh yeah, even though I'm only about 6 weeks along, we are pretty sure that she's a girl. And I don't think it will be any surprise as to what her name will be. :-)

We are already calling her Tracie Rose. :-)
I am thrilled for you!!!!! Congratulations!!!:nanaparty:
We miss you Tracie but your Spirit will always shine brightly on the Watch Image

It's official! We had the ultrasound done yesterday and we are having little Tracie Rose! :D

Everyone here is so happy and can't wait for her arrival...still have a few months to go.

Stephen Isaiah: Didn't need a picture to tell you she was a girl, I told you all she was a girl back in July.

Yeah..he can be rather smug at times. :lol:

Delighted to hear that the new Life within you is progressing so well...and that Stevie retains his "seer and oracle" card. May he and his niece continue in the footsteps of their namesakes!

Take it easy on the pride, though, young sir. It is strong stuff and the apothegms against it are said for good reason.

I also posted this in Mom's thread in the Hall. :-) Wanted to share our joy with all of you here on the Watch.

On February 26, 2013 my beautiful BABIES were born. At 3:16 pm Tracie Rose Hammon-Gill graced us with her precious presence. She weighed in at 5 lbs 11 oz and was 19 inches long. Then, to our utter surprise, her brother Alexander Myles Hammon-Gill graced us with his precious presence at 3:27 pm, weighing in at 5 lbs 9oz, 19 inches long. He was hiding behind his sister! We had no idea he was there! I'm recovering nicely from an emergency C-section I had to have due to excessive bleeding. All is well and the babies are healthy and have great sets of lungs!

We feel so blessed with the birth of our two little miracles. As Mom would say: "What gifts the Lord bestows!"

Wowsers! (as a good friend of mine would say). Two for the price of one, and one of each as well! Very Well Done! Glad to hear that you are all doing well. :D

:bwave:

26th Feb is my son's birthday, by the way. My first (he was 38 this year). :lol:

Thank you everyone! Luckily we have lots of baby boy clothes from when Naeem, Ayize and Stevie were babies. It's been a crazy time that's for sure. And yes, Menolly, we had chosen Alexander when we first found out we were pregnant. So, when he was born, the first words out of my mouth were..."We have Alex too!" :-)

I feel so complete and happy, only person missing is their grandmother, but I have no doubt that she is present in everything that happens to us. :-)

Oh, and Aliantha, about a month ago Stevie casually asked if we heard two heartbeats after our doctor's appointment. We told him no and he just sort of nodded and walked away. I think he knew. :-)

Hugs everyone! |G
