We are very excited to announce that we are expecting again. :) I found out on April 20th and was able to keep my mouth closed until May 17. That's pretty good in my book since I can't keep my own secret for the life of me! I can keep everyone else's secret, just not my own. I wanted it to be a surprise this time and I wanted to wait until the first doctor's appointment to make sure everything was on track and ok. I was going to shoot for 12 weeks but that is just not reality with me!!
From weeks 4-7 the only symptoms I had were sore boobs and having to pee every 5 seconds. My body wasn't tired but I would yawn all day at school and want to go to bed pretty much when I got home. Of course this wasn't happening with an almost 2 year old running around. Now I'm 8 weeks 1 day and all of a sudden I'm nauseous pretty much all day. I have yet to throw up although I wish I would just so I could feel better for a second. I didn't feel like this with Vince. I had a few bouts of nausea but they would go away after I ate something. This time it just seems to get worse after I eat. I'm still really tired and my boobs have gone a size up already (yikes) but other than that, I feel pretty good.
We have been asking Vince if he wants a little brother or sister since we found out I was pregnant. We have always gotten an emphatic NO! But he says no to every question we ask so we don't really think anything of it. I'm kind of nervous about that part though. I hope he ends up loving the baby at some point. I know it will be a big change for him at first but hopefully it won't be too hard. It's going to be a big change for all of us. I hear going from one to two is a BIG adjustment. From two to three is not so bad. I won't find out that last one because we only want two. I know for a fact that that is all that Keith and I can handle together and still stay sane. :)
Here is a picture of the newest addition in our lives. Looks like a little blob on the screen but I know that there is a little miracle in there just growing away. It truly amazes me the way God works. That I can just start growing a tiny little human inside of me that I will one day hold in my arms. I feel very blessed to get the chance to do this again. Even though I hated pregnancy the first time and said I would never do it again, it is so worth it! :) Here's to a happier, skinnier, less miserable pregnancy. At least it won't be summer when this one comes. The baby is due on December 28th but we have scheduled a C-section for December 21st. I should be home on Christmas Eve if all goes as planned. :)

Welcome little one! Can't wait to meet you.
