Big News!!!

Eric and Laura Sieckmann found out April 13 that they can expect the first addition to their family, Baby Sieckmann, on December 17, 2011. With all of the changes ahead, Eric graduating from Northwestern University- Kellogg School of Management with a MBA and an MEM, and a move to Charlotte, North Carolina, the happy couple was a bit surprised at the big news, but it is wholeheartedly welcome.

Currently Laura is a little over 13 weeks pregnant, and nearing the end of her first trimester. It has been a semi smooth ride thus far, with Laura only experiencing nausea and other minor discomforts. As the first trimester comes to an end however, her experience is improving and the symptoms decreasing. Her baby bump is obvious and both parents to be are simply giddy with excitement and throughly enjoying making the preparations for Baby Sieckmann to make his, or her, entrance. (We have a doctors appointment tomorrow, so we just might find out if it is a girl or a boy!)

Just because Eric and Laura will be new parents doesn't mean they are slowing down however, as they will be heading down to Guatemala from the end of June to early July to enjoy a relaxing holiday before Eric begins work for Duke Energy in July.

Here are a few pictures of Baby Sieckmann, and more are to come. Thank you all for your congratulations and good wishes. You can see more info about Eric and Laura as well as baby info such as registries, on their website at www.ericandlaurasieckmann.com
