It's official!
Matt and I are expecting our second bundle of joy,
due September 10, 2011!
We are overjoyed and grateful to grow our family. James has brought so much joy into our lives, and we can't wait to do it all over again!
I think that James is going to love having a new playmate. He's getting to that age where he loves to play with other kids. We think that a little brother or sister is the best gift we can give him!
They will be 21 months apart, perfect for playing together.
Speaking of brother or sister, we are going to leave that a mystery this time around. With James, we found out at our ultrasound that we were having a boy. It was exciting to learn the news. This time around, we want to experience the alternative- keeping it a surprise. Plus, it's a win-win situation- another boy, James will have a best friend and buddy, and we already have all the boy gear! If it's a girl, how wonderful, we will have one of each! So we are leaving that news to the big day.
Here's our little bean at 7 weeks:
And here he/she is at 12 weeks. The growth and change is amazing!
At twelve weeks along, I am glad to be entering the second trimester. I was queasy for most of the first trimester, but I feel that slowly improving.
Belly at 12 weeks:
It certainly feels like I've "popped" much sooner than I did with James. I hear that is common with second pregnancies. I am grateful to Melanie for passing along her incredible maternity wardrobe! This pregnancy is going to be awesome!
I am so excited for the journey that awaits us. Matt is an incredible father and husband, and has been incredibly supportive over the past few months- late night runs to Wendys, grocery store for apples, and for almonds (mostly healthy cravings...).
We are grateful to all of our friends and family who have been keeping us and the new baby in their prayers, and ask that you continue to do so.
Our little blessing is on its way!
