Special announcement:

Many of you may know that Greg and I have been wanting to have another baby for several years (3.5 to be exact) and we got a WONDERFUL surprise on Christmas Eve:

We are pregnant again (FiNAllY)!!!

(this cartoon in no way says that I am placing blame on Greg and his "swimmers" LOL, we actually don't know why we couldn't get pregnant... all tests showed normal??)

Boy are we excited and a little nervous to return to the baby stages again. Its been a while =)

I'm due August 24th which is just a few days before my kids go back to school. I can't believe that Katie is going to be in 2nd grade and my "baby" Brielle will be going to Kindergarten!!! The timing is a little crazy but the time alone for a few hours every day will probably be a blessing.

I'm just over 12 weeks and the baby is healthy, we had an ultrasound at our first appointment and we were able to see the baby and hear the heartbeat. I have been tired and a little nauseous but overall I have been feeling pretty good, hopefully my energy is starting to return a little and I am "looking forward" to the hot hot summer and being huge pregnant...

you'll find me at the pool (you won't miss me!). At least this baby will have a summer birthday- looking forward to that :)
