The One I've Been Waiting For.......

I have been waiting to create this blog for a long while now! I wish I could think of some creative way to write about it, but I can't so - without further hesitation...

We are expecting baby #2!!!!

We are more than thrilled about this - and have been wanting this to be real for so long. I'm just almost 10 weeks along, and feeling every minute of it. I wasn't sick at all with Kaitlyn, and it's a daily thing with this one. Must be a boy.

My doctor gave us a "scare" at the beginning - telling me he was almost sure it was twins. My hormone level went from 350 to over 3000 in about 4 days. Yikes! So, a couple weeks later we had a sonogram and just saw one tiny heart beating!! We go again a week from today to double check though. Maybe I shouldn't say double check.

Anyway, I am so excited that the cat is out of the bag and I am able to share the news. My official due date is January fourth, but I let the doctor know that December would be preferred! January sounds so much further away than December. I mean, let's face it. It's a whole other year!

We are so thrilled for all three of you!! I am so glad you are telling...it was so hard not to say anything to friends at PC when they asked about ya'll. What fun we will have keeping the baby for you occassionally. Kaitlyn will be such a sweet Big Sister. About the sickness I felt worse with Campbell than I did with Kaylee so you never know what awaits you. Love you all!!

I'm glad I was right. :) I know this was such an answered prayer for you guys, and we will continue to pray that sweet baby Mayo grows healthy and strong. And, keep us posted on the twins thing....they're all around us these days!! :) Love you guys and are so happy for you all!!

Congratulations! I was just thinking about you the other day and wondering if we'd have baby news soon since I knew you'd been trying. I am so happy for you and for this little baby who gets to have such a wonderful family to come in to (and a fabulous mom!)! Good luck with the whole sickness thing - I don't envy that.

I had been having suspicions for awhile now...

CONGRATULATIONS to you, James, and Kaitlyn.

I was sick with Sam everyday until he came in November. Seth's sickness stopped right around 14 weeks and was never as bad. Zofran can be a good friend to you if it gets too bad!

Sending you a huge hug via a blog. Miss you!
