The Goodwins

It’s hard to believe that Ella will be a big sister soon! She’ll be three in April (can you believe it?).

Kirk and I are amazed everyday at the extraordinary addition she has been to our family, and we can’t wait to see what joy her new little brother will bring to us all!

I doubt Ella truly knows how her life is about to change… right now she’s all about hugging, kissing and raspberrying the baby in Mama’s tummy. She loves to listen to the “thumpa thumpa” (she taps her chest) on the heart monitor we rented, and she laughs whenever we ask her about her little brother. I wonder how she’ll do with crying, sharing, and stinky diapers that aren’t her own…?

So for all of you who love our family and are watching us grow, here is an image of Ella’s little brother from our recent 3D ultrasound. If you click on the image of our newest Goodwin it will get you a little bigger picture of the cute face that is about to join the world!

Sending love, smiles and blessings to all of you!

P.S. for those who haven’t yet heard or seen it for themselves, Ella is officially a walker – she’s all about doing it herself (no more need for mom and dad’s fingers!), and she is picking up the pace every day! I’m hoping to get some movies of her soon!
