6 weeks!

Sweet Little Baby,
You are still so small but so much is happening and you are already growing so quickly! Your little nose and eyes are forming! And so are your limbs! It's amazing to think that you are becoming the little person we will see in 34 weeks! We hope you are comfy and happy in my belly! We love you and can't wait to see you!
Love,
Mommy + Daddy

I'm still feeling really good this week. I am really tired but I can't tell if I'm more tired than normal or not. Ali is finally getting back to sleeping better after she got sick last month. She only wakes up once from 8 pm to 6 am. So whether I'm more tired or not, it's hard to gauge, but I do know that I am sleeping more soundly. Sometimes Jimmy will hear her before she wakes me up. That has never happened before. It feels nice to be sleeping soundly again... it's been a while. Ali is napping now and Jimmy and I were just talking over breakfast about how it doesn't seem real yet. I think until you hear that little heartbeat you just have to imagine that the baby is growing in you. Either that or the morning sickness hits! We'll see- but I am very happy about it. Could this be a little easier if Ali were almost 2 instead of not quite 1?...maybe. But I wouldn't have it any other way. This is when this little spirit is meant to come into this world and we are so happy to be its parents!

A NEW Ballyhoo!

That's right... we have a NEW reason to celebrate! What a surprise we had this past weekend when we learned that Ali is going to be a big sister! We had decided a few months ago that even though she is still young, we didn't want to waste any time bringing another sweet baby into our family, especially since we didn't know if we would be able to have another baby or not. So each month we waited to see if we would be pregnant and sure enough, on Friday I took a pregnancy test and saw those two little lines! Pregnant! Jimmy was out of town and so I had to wait till Saturday when he got back to tell him the news. Friday night I made a little flip book that said we were having a baby and when I had the chance, I gave him the flip book and watched his face as he read the message. He was so excited; he hugged and kissed me. We are so relieved and happy that we are expecting a new baby! I'm having a hard time not calling "it" a "he". I don't know why, I just keep saying "he"... maybe it's because we already have a girl or maybe it's because it really is a "he"! We'll see! The baby is due in January and we will have to wait till I go to the doctor to find out the exact due date. This is going to be an exciting ride! We'll see how it goes being pregnant with a 7 month old. I'm really hoping I don't get as sick as I did last time. But if I do, it will be a learning and growing experience for me! I can't wait to find out what we're having and especially to see this new little baby!!
