We’re so excited to welcome our little one into the world and couldn’t imagine celebrating this special chapter without the people who mean so much to us. Thank you for being part of our journey and for surrounding our growing family with so much love and support.

As we count down the days until Thomas arrives, we thought we’d share a little about ourselves!

 

Q: How did you meet?

A: Karlee and Colby met while both working for the Hillsborough County Jail. At first Karlee was Colby’s direct supervisor, they became friends outside of work on their weekends off, and quickly grew closer and developed a strong connection. After about a month as friends they both developed feelings for one another and upon realizing that they felt the same way, they decided they would start a relationship together that has grown day by day.

 

Q: What has surprised you the most about pregnancy?

A: Karlee was most surprised by how much her emotions have full control over her, and let themselves out whenever they feel like it. Colby was most surprised about how fun it is to play with baby Thomas’s kicks.

 

Q: Who will be the more organized parent?

A: We think that we’ll both have our areas of being more organized than the other, but neither is us will be “more” than the other. 

 

Q: Who do you think the softie will be?

A: Although we will both love and cherish our child, I think we’ve both agreed that Colby will be much more of the softie out of the two of us. 

 

Q: What family tradition are you most excited to share?

A: We’re both very excited to start our new holiday traditions as a family. Being able to pass down all the special moments that shaped our childhoods and share that with Thomas. 

 

Q: What are you looking forward to most as parents?

A: We’re both excited to see what personality little Thomas will have. Whether he’ll take after mom or dad. We’re also excited to share all the things we love with him, and the new things we’ll grow to love once he’s here. 

 

Q: Any hopes for Baby?

A: We just hope Thomas is happy and healthy and he’ll love us as much as we already love him.
