Interesting Surprise

We are expecting baby #2! The expected due date is July 18th - which would make Kendall just under 18 months...yikes! It was slightly planned but very unexpected, if that makes any sense at all. The mission for Kendall was in the works for quite a while, so imagine our surprise when the first month of "not trying but not trying not to" results in baby #2!

The pregnancy seems to be progressing normally so far - I will be 15 weeks (3 months) as of Saturday. I had a sonogram during my 12th week and everything looked healthy - heartbeat was strong and there were already little fingers and toes waving at us.

There are some differences between this time and the not so distant first time - I must have had the easiest pregancy with Kendall: no morning sickness, no swelling, no breakouts. This time hasn't been so uneventful...morning sickness is just starting to die down and so are the breakouts. I do feel a LOT more tired this time, but probably because I know I won't have the time to do anything about it.

Some fun facts - my sister's 2nd 'set' of babies were born 2 days after her birthday, my sister-in-laws 2nd baby was born 2 days after her birthday, and my expected due date for baby #2 is also 2 days after my birthday :) Something else - Kendall was born 6 weeks after my sister's twins and our 2nd baby will likely be born 6 weeks after her little boy cousin on Trenton's side.

Our 5th anniversary is this Saturday - we are going to our favorite restaurant Reata in downtown Ft. Worth. Oddly enough, the last 2 times I have been there I was also pregnant (our last anniversary and the previous birthday). I suppose no blue cactus margarita for me ;o)
