It's been a long time since our last post, and we have some exciting
|
||
|
|
news to share! We are expecting our second baby! The approximate due
|
||
|
|
date is December 17th, which puts me at about 20 weeks right now. In
|
||
|
|
fact Emil and I have our ultrasound this upcoming Friday, but are still
|
||
|
|
on fence as to if we find out the gender or not. (Ok, \*I'm\* on the
|
||
|
|
fence, Emil definitely wants to know.) As you may recall we did not find
|
||
|
|
out with Kathryn.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Based on the due date our newest little one and Kathryn will be almost
|
||
|
|
exactly 18 months apart. Several folks have asked if we had planned
|
||
|
|
this, and the answer is not exactly. We always wanted the kids close
|
||
|
|
together, but 18 months was a bit sooner than we had expected. Yikes!
|
||
|
|
This is Kathryn when we told her the news....

We found out we were pregnant on Tuesday April 10th, after watching a
|
||
|
|
TIVO'ed episode of '24'. I just had this strong feeling I was pregnant -
|
||
|
|
and sure enough! Needless to say Emil and I were both more than a little
|
||
|
|
surprised!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So far the pregnancy has gone fairly well, but I was much more nauseous
|
||
|
|
with this one than Kathryn. It was worst from 4:00 - 8:00 PM. This made
|
||
|
|
taking care of Kathryn at night a bit tough. Even the thought of baby
|
||
|
|
food made my stomach turn (still does actually). And changing poopy
|
||
|
|
diapers...forget it! Poor Emil had to do much of the child care himself
|
||
|
|
for about 14 weeks. But now that I'm about half-way there I'm doing
|
||
|
|
great!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I really started to feel the baby move last week, around 18 weeks along.
|
||
|
|
It's very cool. At first this one was only active at night, but now I
|
||
|
|
feel it in the afternoon and when I go to bed around 10 PM. At times I'm
|
||
|
|
a bit sad, knowing this is likely the last time I'll be pregnant. Emil
|
||
|
|
and I are very excited, but our big concern right now is where to put
|
||
|
|
the new baby! Kathryn won't quite be old enough for a 'big girl' bed,
|
||
|
|
and I'm not sure I want to do two nurseries.... hmmm..
|

Here are a few pictures from our first ultrasound!
