SURPRISE!

A picture post from Caden's birthday will be coming soon, but I should probably post something for anyone who reads this and isn't on Facebook... that we are expecting BABY #2 in early August! Big surprise for all involved!

About 2 weeks ago, there were a couple things that made me keep thinking "I could be pregnant," but none of them were convincing in and of themselves, so I joked with several people about it but really didn't think it would be true. One day I thought maybe I'll take a test just to make sure, and whoa, that second line starting showing up in about 0.2 seconds. That was in the morning when I got up, and I waited ALL day until about 10:00 at night to tell Wade when he finally got home, after school, a basketball game and a meeting. I was still pretty overwhelmed, but he was thrilled :).

I got an appointment with the midwife (the same one who I saw first when I was pregnant with Caden, and who delivered him!) about a week later (this past Wednesday), and they did an ultrasound since I had NO idea how far along I was. Well, apparently I was almost 12 weeks! Crazy. I have had no sickness or any noticeable symptoms whatsoever, and I'm almost through the first trimester!

August 4th is the due date they gave me. Caden will be just over 18 months then, which is not what I would have planned (clearly), but I know it is doable, and plenty of people have encouraged me that they love that spacing (although it is hard at first). I'm hoping this baby could come "on time" (if that date is accurate) instead of a week late like Caden, since Wade will still have a week left of summer break & then a low-key week of in-service before school starts. It would be awesome to have him home for that time!

Anyway, surprise! :)
