"Oh yes, we’re pregnant with #2. But our first “whoops.” I really didn’t plan on having #2 until my second year of school once I got core and my internship out of the way. So whoever this baby is, he/she has some very specific plans to come right away, right now, and right during my mid-terms in what will be the busiest semester of my life. I suppose life wouldn’t be all that thrilling without surprises like this. Honestly, Amber and I are very excited. It just took a second to get the eyebrows back under control when Amber first told me the news."
I was pretty surprised myself when I found out we were pregnant, but also super, super excited. The timing may not seem perfect, but I have always thought that two years apart seemed like good spacing for my first two children, and that is almost exactly what they will be. My due date for this baby is November 8, and Makenna will turn 2 on November 18th. I'm also excited becuase my sister Amanda and sister-in-law Tanya are both expecting, and due shortly before me. It will be fun to add so many new babies to the family at the same time.
So far this pregnancy has gone pretty well, although if you would've asked me during the first trimester, you would have gotten a different story. I was pretty nauseous almost all day every day (but never threw up, so it could've been a lot worse). The hardest part was figuring out what to eat. I didn't really have specific cravings, but just felt so sick that it would take me awhile to decide what actually sounded good. And left-overs were out of the question. Luckily that part is over, and it will hopefully be smooth sailing from here.
Here is a picture of John and me at our Labor and Delivery Class that we took while pregnant with Makenna. I would love to say that this was the night before I had Makenna, but in reality it was about a month before she came. I was pretty huge by the end, but in my defense, she was an 8 1/2 pound baby. I'm hoping this next baby won't be any bigger!

Oh my gosh I am so suprised. I had no idea. :) Really though I had McKenna at the worst possible time. After the first test of a five week streak of tests. I am so considerate aren't I. But really the harder it is the more blessings you get.

Wow-already done with the first trimester. Congratulations! Was the first rimester that rough with Makenna? I hope you are feeling much better these days and just think of all of the cute pregnancy clothes you get to wear in the coming months!

Oh, so happy! Congrats! You look really cute in your last picture . . . It's fun to see you at that stage b/c that is about where I'm at. :) Our baby is due in about 2 and a half weeks. And it is perfect that they are so evenly spaced. You are such a cute Mom.
