We're so happy to share that we're going to be adding one more McLean to our clan! The time is flying by, and in just three more months our little BOY will be here! It's seems so right that we'll have our two older girls and our two younger boys. Ian is going to love having a little brother to play with as he grows up. 

It will be interesting to give birth here in the U.S. after my experience delivering Ian in France (which was pretty fantastic). Already I'm noticing that there are a lot more doctor visits here but way fewer blood tests. In France you go to the doctor once a month right up until you go into labor - unless there are complications, of course. Here, it's once a month at the beginning, and then it jumps to twice a month in the last trimester and then EVERY WEEK for the last month. That seems like a lot after my last pregnancy, but when in Rome (er, America)...

And just like that, we've been back in the U.S. for almost a year! Obviously, I haven't done a great deal of blogging over the past few months - there's a lot to do when you move to a new place, and when you add a baby/toddler to the mix, time just slips away. So, I'm throwing together some highlights from our first months in Raleigh...we've managed to get out and experience some fun things, while also furnishing our whole house, lining up doctors, dentists, hairdressers and such, and just getting into a groove here. ​
