Be Ambitious

I've been waiting forever to tell...

A lot of you who live near me and those who are family may know this already, but as for the blogging world, I've been pretty secretive and it's been killing me! I'm going to have another baby! Yay!

We were going to try and keep it to ourselves for as long as possible, but I'm so excited I can't keep it in anymore! I'm 15 weeks along and sooooo happy to be out of the first trimester.

All of the baby calendars and silly old wives' tales are telling us it's a girl this time. I'm still wanting a boy the most, but I'll be happy with either.

I feel very blessed to be having another child and I remind myself of how difficult the last year has been whenever I feel tired or too sick. I can't wait for Nate to have a sibling and he's so ready for it! He prays for the baby everyday and he even tells me his baby is making him sick (while holding his tummy) when he doesn't want to do something! We're all so excited and ready for our family to expand.

P.S. Although I know there's always tons of curiosity, I'm certain there will be no pregnancy pictures posted of me. It's not a pretty thing!

Yea! This is the main thing I was wondering about, but knew I couldn't ask via blog comment. I'm so glad things are going well! I can't wait to hear if it's a boy or a girl. Nate will be a sweet big brother. I noticed that he was always cute with Jane. You are a great Mom, Erin. I felt like I learned a lot from watching you with Nate. CONGRATS!
