Baby News

Yep, I'm pregnant!

Some of you will kill me for finding out this way, but I hope you'll understand the busyness of this week with my brother's family in town - I just don't have the time to call everyone personally, even though I'd love to, but I've been very anxious to share our news. We just had an ultrasound yesterday - if you can't tell what anything is in the picture, you're not alone. I am even having a hard time remembering where the head is on this picture. =)

I'm eight weeks pregnant, and the due date is August 5th. Jonah and his little sibling will be just over two years apart, and we're really excited about it. So far, this pregnancy has been completely different from my first....night and day different! I haven't been nearly as sick....just a little nauseous, but if I keep eating (and I am!) and keep my stomach from getting empty, then I am ok. Until this past week, it has been virtually symptomless, but I definitely feel tired and pregnant now. But still, I am sooo very thankful that this one has been so much easier. I just hope easy pregnancy doesn't mean a difficult child....because Jonah sure was trouble in the womb, but he is an easy child. Scary!

I recently found out my good friend from college Lizzy Hataway (or Lizzy Thornton, as some of you know her by) is also pregnant, with her first. Our due dates are five days apart, so that will be fun to journey through this with her. My dear friends Kelli and Holly are pregnant with their second babies too, due in the few months before I am. What a fun gift! I must say that I will definitely miss days at the pool with Courtney and Angela this time though!!!! I'm already sad about that. (Are you sure you don't want to move here, girls?!)

Well, I just got back home from my parents' to put Jonah down for a nap, so I need to get some work done. With family all here, I have done NO laundry this week, and if it weren't for Christmas gifts of clothes, my child would be naked today. So I better go get on that right now!
Oh, I have to say one more thing....my sweet husband has been getting up with Jonah in the mornings and been letting me sleep an extra hour almost every day.....it's so wonderful. I love him. =)
