Baby #2!

We couldn't be happier to announce:

Russell is going to be a big brother!

I'm 11 weeks pregnant, due April 14, 2011.

Here's the sweet new baby (from 2 1/2 weeks ago):

Russell and his little sibling will be 22 months apart, and we think that's a great age difference. Okay, it will be hard on us for the next few years, but then (we hope) they will be best friends, playing the same sports together, going to the same school, doing activities together, etc.

So far, this pregnancy has been easier than my pregnancy with Russell, and I'm really hoping it stays that way! I have definitely been nauseous but have not actually "gotten sick." I was totally exhausted the first few weeks, but I've gotten a little more energy back lately.

So far, I predict:
--that this baby is a boy (Jason thinks it's a girl)
--that he will come late like his brother - I am not getting my hopes up for delivering at 37 weeks like I thought I would last time!
--that he will be an easy baby. I don't know why I think this, but I do, so I hope I'm right :)

We are so excited for all the fun things to come!

  2. So exciting! I'm glad you are feeling well! I think boy too! Most of my friends had their kids 2 years apart and while it was hard the first year, they've loved the age difference. So, it will be great for Russell! You are braver than we were though! ;) Of course, I hate pregnancy! LOL
