For those of you who don't know.....

(our first Dr. app at 7 weeks)

Christian and I are expecting baby #2! I am due on Feb 20. We are very excited! Things are going really well and I have felt great. We have found an office here that we like. I wont know what I am having until Oct. 9th. My Dr. wont do the ultrasound until after 20 weeks. I am going crazy! I am the most impatient person ever and I really would love to start making some baby goods. But I guess I will just have to wait! My mom and sisters will be flying into Chicago the evening of my app. which is very exciting. A weekend full of fun baby shopping will definitely be in the works.


This is a belly picture of me at 15 weeks. I am showing fast! I am bigger than my last pregnancy but have gained less weight this far. I have only gained 2 lbs, but I know this can changed very quickly.


Addy and I went to our app tonight alone. Christian's train broke down right before his stop. So we had to leave him stranded. I was a little nervous about this because Addy was so busy at our last app. Surprisingly she was so good! They let her bring toys in the room with us to keep her busy. I was one of the last patients of the night so they were very fast. Christian made it right in time for me to schedule for the next app. But I was still happy to have him there.






(Dr. app at 15 1/2 weeks)




Our life is going to change so much with another addition, but we are ready!
I hope Addy transitions well. She is in a very possessive stage right now. Everything is "Addy's!" I am so excited for her to have a little friend at home. When you ask her what is in mommies belly she lifts up her shirt and says "no Addy's baby." She hasn't grasped the fact that a baby will be coming into our lives. She probably wont understand until the baby is here.



I really don't care if I have a boy or a girl. Either will be great! I just can't wait to find out so I can give the baby a name. We have decided on a girl and a boy name that we both love. So let the next 5 weeks pass quickly!

I am so EXCITED for you guys!!! My bet is that you are having a boy... just a gut feeling. You are still so tiny and you always look so cute... love your clothes. I totally need you to teach me how to make that bag one night/day. Once I have this baby and get all situated I want to get together... oh and I just found out that I am your new visiting teacher!!!! I was so excited when I got my new assignment and saw your name on it.

Oh, and for the flannel that I used on the receiving blankets I actually bought those blankets on sale at Walmart and just sewed two of them together. I think that is what I am going to do with all of the receiving blankets that I make because there is no cutting out and only took like 2 seconds to do.

Yeah, congrates and even though you are so far away it will be fun have our kids all so close like we where in age, so then they can play at family events with there "cousin" You look so cute... I bet Addy will start carrying her doll around to be like mommy. That is awesome you are feeling great, hope that stays that way.
