Yes, that is me, and I am almost 20 weeks pregnant. Wheeeeee! We are thrilled, and the children are especially thrilled because they are old enough to grasp a large part of what is happening. They were so sweet, keeping our family secret for so long, and then joyfully, shyly, telling people once we all agreed it was time.
I still have flashes of nausea - the first trimester was pretty bad which is why there was a lull in blogging (and I can't bear the thought of these beans, although tomato soup remains my friend). The exhaustion has retreated for now. We are hoping to find out the baby's gender at the next ultrasound and then, of course, I will begin some baby sewing.
This is a special time in our family life and I'm so grateful for my health and the experience and maturity we bring to this special time. Of course babies are wild cards and there will be times of frustration and (my nemesis) sleeplessness ahead, but my husband and I have been through it before and we won't have toddlers around this time. We're a bit giddy, actually.
What a sweet belly photo. Congratulations to you and your family! It will be fun to follow along with your baby sewing, I hope you'll share it here.
ReplyDeleteMAR! GO!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is the sweetest news!!! I am so happy for you, unendingly so!! I am going to send that bebe a little gift after the holidays pass. What is your due date?
This post just made my Friday. I am so happy for your family and for you. You look great! I am giddy *for* you. It will be great to have a baby after having had babies before (experience!) and also not having a toddler to care for as well (ease!). This is wonderful and I am so glad for you.
Congratulations to you! I just had number three after a five year break, and it is definitely different than having a baby with another little one around.
