Announcing...

Numero Dos...Coming Soon!

Upon telling both of our families everyone's first response was, "how is Scot taking it?" Soo funny if you know Scot -- he's not a big fan of big life changes, and I have to say I think he is happy if not even slightly excited by the whole thing. Shocking, I know. Sometimes I catch him doing deep yoga breaths when the subject of a new house and new baby, which is also going to warrant a new car conversations begin, but really he's handling it like a champ. Way to go babe!

For some reason, I think we are both a little more excited for the second one. Scot's excitement might be because he
thinks its our last (he'll be thrilled I threw that in!), but deep down it's cause we both know how fun it is...once you get past the sleepless nights, endless laundry & that whole delivery thing.
We used our man main Z as our mouth piece. We had the shirt made (that said "I'm the BIG brother) & were planning on waiting a bit longer to tell family (they've known for about a month), but once I had the shirt in my hand I was ready to roll. So we ended up announcing it just to my mom & Scot's mom -- both dads weren't home. Kind of lame, but true. My mom caught on right away -- we've pulled this one before & she was super excited. We talked to Scot's mom via iChat...gotta love technology & she, of course, was happy as well.

So there you have the exciting news. I have to say I am thrilled about it & trying to remind myself to enjoy being pregnant (although I am wondering what there is to enjoy about it). I've had to quit my soccer team...total drag. I played until I was about 8 weeks, but stopped after I had a few too many close calls & was looking a little chubby in that tank top! Other than that everything is going great...I'm eating & sleeping lots which always feels good.

The baby will be here this spring...April or May depending on how things go. Did I tell you I was excited? I am already in love with this little bean & can't wait!

A HUGE congratulations to you and your boys. Can't wait to hear whether it will be another boy or a girl (do you guys find out?). Good for your hubby for taking it so well. Congrats!!!

whew! I didn't know how much longer I could keep my mouth shut... good thing you decided to spill the beans! I'm completely thrilled for you and know Scot will love the little thing immensely.

AMY-CONGRATS!!! Great announcment!! And you are right #2 is by far the funnest b/c you are more at ease with everything. You have been through it all before so you can leave the concerns behind and relax and just enjoy everything more...including the baby itself. Do you get sick? Hope you're feeling well...looks like we're due around the same time and I'm thinking another 3-4 weeks and our energy will be back and we'll feel more 'human' again! You are such a doll...
