Yep, you read that correctly! Jake is going to be a BIG BROTHER!!!!!! The best news is that we've completed all the appropriate genetic testing and confirmed that our newest addition does not have Niemann-Pick disease! The baby does have one of our gene mutations, but will be an unaffected carrier. We are so unbelievably happy and feel incredibly blessed to welcome a new baby into our family. As you can imagine, this was a very difficult decision for Josh and I to make. Loving and caring for Jake remains our top priority! We know in our hearts that this new baby will bring an abundance of joy into our lives, just like Jake has and we know Jake will be a great big brother!
Our favorite moment was telling Jake that he's going to have a healthy baby SISTER!! Right after we told the little man, he had one of the biggest, brightest smiles that we've ever seen and it just melted out hearts! Baby girl Brooks is due to arrive somewhere around December 3rd.
