Looks like one of us, don't you think??
We're expecting a new baby in March! I'm almost 22 weeks along. I've been feeling pretty good (since we got into the 2nd trimester). It started off a little rough-I was pretty sick, REALLY tired, and lots of headaches. The sickness and fatigue have faded a bit, but not the headaches, but that's just normal for me. The kids are really excited and can't wait for "new baby" to get here. Port asks me all the time when new baby will be here, Bubb always points to our (his and mine-and one time Da-da's) tummies and says "beeby innehr," Chloe just talks about how little new baby is going to be and about how she knows it's going to be a girl-oh and she hugs and talks to my tummy too.
Speaking of...
We found out what we're having today! Matt, Bubb, Porter, and I went to the ultrasound appointment and found out everything is perfectly healthy and that we're having a baby GIRL! I cried when she told us and Matt even got a little teary. I was SO happy knowing we would have our baby Ava. We, of course, would've loved and been happy to have a boy-just maybe sad not to ever have our Ava. Matt and I both had dreams during this pregnancy that we'd find out it was a girl. A few months ago, Cooper emptied out a few files from the desk drawer and my patriarchal blessing fell out. I hadn't read it in a while, so I sat and read it since it was out. It's amazing how you can read it so many times and it will mean different things to you at different points in your life. I read that I would be blessed with sons and daughters. I cried when I read that, and I cried again today hearing I was having my other daughter.
I was really nervous that something would be wrong with the ultrasound, and I left the dr.'s office with such relief! Partly because we know everything's healthy, and partly because I didn't have to worry about Chloe being sad about another boy :) We're so thankful for the opportunity to bring another baby into our family. More than anything, we're so thankful for another healthy baby, but we're so excited for another baby girl.
