Hooray, Hooray...

Olivia is going to be a BIG SISTER IN MAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are thrilled and so excited to share that we are fortunate enough to be adding to our family!! I am 12 weeks along and so far everything looks great with the baby. I had an ultrasound today and loved getting a glimpse of all that amazing that is happening inside!


I have been plagued with "all-day-long-sickness". It is not nearly as bad as when I was pregnant with Olivia, but it is still pretty miserable. I have to eat all day in order to feel close to human and nothing sounds good. I am not nearly as tired now as I was in the beginning, but still not full of energy or motivation. Come on second trimester! I am ready to feel normal again.

The morning I found out, Olivia was the first to know. She was so excited and kept saying, "I'm going to be a BIG sister". We went and got pink and blue balloons and put them in a big box, along with the positive test and a note to Daddy from Baby #2 (I told him the first time with a note from Baby and the positive test). When he got home Olivia and I were waiting by the box. He asked her what was in the box and she said, "A BABY!!!!". We were all so excited!


Olivia with the balloons (that are incredibly still floating today after 8 weeks) and her new big sister book. We eventually had to hide this book because all she wanted to do was read it over and over and over again!
