The News

So I have some exciting news to share.

We are adding another baby to our family on or around December 24. I was 12 weeks yesterday. Since I went public on Facebook today (during the most boring teleconference meeting of my life), I figured I at least owed it to my blog readers to fill you in too. And to all of my good friends who are finding out through the blog rather than from a personal message from me, please know that if I waited until I could tell everyone in person, the baby might be here at the rate I'm going (see two blogs down).

Anyway, we are very, very excited to become a family of 5. Lily especially couldn't be more thrilled and is constantly telling Addie that she is going to be a BIG sister AND a LITTLE sister. Addie has no clue but says she wants to and then says she has a baby in her tummy too. Lily would love nothing more than to sit around all day and talk about the baby. We've had 2 ultrasounds so far and heard the heartbeat both times.

If you happen to be Schrodinger related and reading this...I haven't told my boss yet, so please don't spread the word. I think only Lynnette and Julie are readers and I know I don't have to worry about you. I think I'll tell him next week.

I think I'll have to, my little baby bump is growing every day. If I worked with a bunch of critical women, there'd be loads of gossip of me either gaining a ton of weight in my belly or me being pregnant. Luckily I work with people who don't pay that type of attention to others. Yay for me and my secret. Interestingly I haven't gained much weight yet and my dr suggested I increase the calories. Yay for me. That's a first for me during pregnancy!

So that's the scoop. Feel free to comment away at how crazy we are! We already know that...more crazy to come and more to love!

  7. Congrats! You took the plunge into a family of 5! It's the greatest and, honestly, I've found more contentment and happiness since having our third. I'm not sure why, but I definitely think it's an easier transition than 1 to 2. Hope the pregnancy goes well! If I lived closer I'd take you out for a pedicure :o)
