We found out Thanksgiving Day that we were expecting another baby. We were so excited! We were in North Carolina celebrating Thanksgiving with Paul's family and we told everyone. I know it is better to wait... that kind of made me nervous. But it looks like it's going to work out. I was pretty sick most of December and all of January (not to mention TIRED!). I wasn't sick at all with Susie so this was new for me. There were days in January with preschool and babysitting when I felt like I wasn't going to be able to do it all. But January ended and I started feeling better and getting my energy back.
Monday we got to go in and have an ultrasound to find out the gender. It was a special experience. I felt as I watched him move around that this was a very special spirit we would be blessed with. I feel so close to my little boy already. Susie loved the ultrasound. I'm not sure how to gets it but she kept saying, "Wow!! Baby? Wow, mama. Baby?" She wouldn't let Paul or I touch the ultrasound pictures after they were printed. They are hers, apparently. I think she will be a great big sister. We all love our little boy so much already.
I love this little face! We went to Chick Fil A with some friends and Susie finally summoned the courage to brave the slide. Then she went down, over, and over, and over, and over again. Until she screamed as I put in her in the car. :) I love being able to be home with her. We have lots of fun talks. She loves all of the kids that come and play. She would rather play with them than with me! Which I guess is kind of nice!
We have lots to be happy about. Phoenix winter weather is hard to beat. With the sun always shining it's easy to always have a smile on! We'll see if I can keep smiling this summer, 9 months pregnant, in 120 degree weather. That might not be so happy!
I hope everyone has a great Valentines Day!
