A big thank you to all of our friends and family for your support as we head into this next phase of life. We've received lots of emails with questions regarding the pregnancy, so I thought I'd try to answer a few here:
Q: What is your due date? August 14.
Q: How many months apart will the babies be? 20 months!
Q: Will you find out the sex? Yes- in April.
Q: What are the chances of this baby having something wrong with it's heart? The chances of having a baby born with Grant's heart condition (TAPVR) are 1 in 20,000. However, they have found that heart defects tend to run in families, so the chances of our next child having a heart defect are 1 in 20.
Q: Does anything different happen this time around knowing your history? Yes. We'll go to U of M the second week in April for an ultrasound and echo on the baby's heart. These tests are about 95% accurate. If everything looks good, then we'll proceed as planned and have the baby at Providence Hospital. If it appears that there is a heart defect, then we'll transfer our care to U of M and have the baby there.

Hi Shannon,
Don't settle for feeling horrible :o) Our God is bigger than pregnancy nausea not to metion what Jesus adds to the mix (Isa 53:4-5 & 1 Peter 2:24). I am praying and believe that you are feeling great!
Thank you for the update! Missed you at CBS.
