Baby # 2 On The Way

So if you didn't catch it in my other post... I'm pregnant!!! 12 weeks to be exact. The baby (boy as Spencer calls it) is due on May 30th. That's 3 days after Kate's b-day. Both Spencer and I have been so excited about this pregnancy that it's been really hard to keep it a secret. Now, that I'm finally feeling better and the scary first trimester is pretty much over my excitement has doubled. Spencer and I have been so blessed throughout our whole lives and are truly grateful for all that has been given to us. Thanks for all the prayers over that last year. We are very lucky to have such wonderful and loving family and friends. Kate is so happy to be a BIG SISTER too. I just know that she is going to be such a great helper and give lots of love to her younger siblings when she's not bossing them around :). She has said some funny things since she found out she was going to be a big sister and I've been waiting to post them. So here they are:

In a frustrated tone - Mommy are you gonna have a baby? Because I wanna see it

After watching the cartoon Phineas and Ferb - Mommy you don't have a baby in your tummy, you have a platypus

Mommy I'm going to be the best big sister

I had my first doctor's appointment last Friday and all was well. Our health insurance doesn't cover maternity so no pictures of the little gummy bear just yet. We were able to hear the heart beat though. We'll find out what were having in the middle of December even though I won't be 20 weeks until the first of January. What am I hoping for, you ask? I'll be happy either way. When it's taken this long to get to this point all I care about is a healthy baby. As for Spencer, he is dead set that it's a boy. However, if by chance it's girl I know he'll be happy that all of the boxes upon boxes of clothes I bought for Kate will get used again. And if you ask Kate, she'll have one of each. No names yet either. I'm sure we'll get crackin' on that in the next month or two once we know what we're having. I know Cory has a list of names already made up for us. They consist of pro football players or celebrity names combined with family names. No guarantees there, sorry Cory.

So now the waiting game begins. However, with the holidays around the corner it will hopefully go fast.
