Announcing #2!!

We're expecting again!! The baby is due April 10th and I'm to the 13-week mark. As you can imagine, we were pleasantly surprised at the news. After the struggles in getting pregnant with Jacob, we expected the same with the next. We feel so blessed to have been given this gift. We're a little nervous about how we'll manage two little ones under 17 months in age, but at the same time it will be so much fun to watch the two of them grow up together so close in age.

So far, my pregnancy has gone well. I had some nausea and lots of fatigue, but nothing really to complain about. I've been showing for a few weeks now, so it's great to have the news out so I can begin to wear some maternity tops. I'm defintely less obsessed about this pregnancy now that I have a little one to look after. Also since I've already been through it once, I don't freak out about every little twinge of pain or problem.

We have already begun preparations for the new baby. Jacob will move to the guest room, which I have been clearing out for the last couple of months and we'll have to get a new set of furniture for him. Hopefully he can graduate to the toddler bed by then, otherwise the new baby can sleep in the pack-n-play for awhile. One nice thing about having two so close together is that we will still be in "baby mode" and don't have to pack a lot of Jacob's baby things away. I have been stashing Jacob's old things in one closet so it won't take long to find them when the new baby arrives.

Wish us luck!!!
