SURPRISE We're PREGNANT!!

CONGRATULATIONS GRANDMA AND GRANDPA DREW YOU'RE GOING TO BE GRANDPARENTS AGAIN!! YAY!!!!!!! We are so, so, so, SOOOOOOOOO excited!!!! We made this site specifically for the Drew/Layman family (and extended relatives) so everybody can be part of our pregnancy. We are a little over 8 weeks along (see the countdown ticker below!). Our due date is around February 9th/10th but we will know for sure at our 1st doctor's appointment in 2 weeks. This is a bit of a secret for now. We are not telling anybody besides the grandparents for another month just to make sure there are no complications first. However, everything has gone smoothly so we're anticipating a full, happy pregnancy!

Since we love living downtown we are renovating our condo to make a nursery/den/guest bedroom. Ben and his dad are starting the renovation this Saturday! Everything is going really well for us! Ben is really enjoying his job at Cafe Rio and the challenge of being part of a rapidly growing company. He is doing really well at his job and Leslie is so impressed with how well he is balancing everything, including taking care of her! Leslie quit her job to help the first trimester go a little smoother and she is finishing up the last three classes of her 2nd bachelor's degree in Speech Language Pathology. As long as the funding goes through she will be doing a year long internship that focuses on therapy for children with autism starting in the middle of August. She will be starting her master's program next fall. We're not sure how that's going to work with a baby involved, but we felt that now was the perfect time to have a baby so we're sure things will work out! 

We're so excited to have a baby and we're looking forward to having you be part of his/her life! We love you BUNCHES!!!!
