Big News

We have some exciting news...

Elena is going to be a big sister!





We are all very excited. It only took Jake and I four years after the last baby to think of throwing our lives into wonderful chaos again. Elena is thrilled. She is desperately hoping for a little brother and is wanting to 'catch the baby' with her fisher price doctors kit. She loves to 'talk' to the baby by yelling through the portal of my belly button. We only told her about three weeks ago (4 year olds are not known for their ability to keep secrets - well ours certainly isn't!)

A few details:
- I'm due Sept 29th - so baby will come sometime around the end of September, beginning of October. That makes me almost 20 weeks right now and the photo above was taken about one month ago.
- Like with Elena, this baby will be a 'surprise' so we will find out if it is a boy or a girl when they are born.
- No matter what Elena tells you, I'm not having twins.
- I'm feeling well (after the first tough three months of throwing up) and the baby's heart is sounding great.
- We have our big ultrasound next week, and Elena will come along to see the baby.
