It’s time…

…to fess up and tell you MY BIG SECRET!

Wait…or maybe I’ll let P tell you.

You know, since he’s so excited about it and all. img_4853

Did you catch that?

No, you don’t need to re-read.

It’s true.

P is going to be a BIG BROTHER!

And, really, don’t be fooled by the picture. He was just mad when I asked him if he was ok with having a baby brother. You see, he wants a “sisstuur”. I swear I didn’t teach him to say it either.

ahem.

Or maybe I did.

Baby Rose #2 will arrive in January! Please continue to keep us in your prayers. Even though we are almost 9 WEEKS…and we’ve seen the heartbeat…we would still appreciate the extra positive vibes. Nothing is for sure.

And I hope you do understand why I waited so long to tell you all. Remember here…when I had to break the bad news. Yea, I didn’t want that to happen again.

But, here’s another little secret….I’ve been feeling AWFUL! When I say AWFUL, I mean TERRIBLE…LIKE I’M DYING TERRIBLE! I am trying to just be grateful that I have a healthy lil baby growing in my belly, but come on…the sickness is overbearing.

I’m warning you now…I might complain…A LOT…in the next few weeks. But all for a good cause.

*big sigh* I feel sooo much better now that I have come clean with you all about my secret. Life can return to normal. Minus the nauseousness, dry heaving, headaches, and sleepiness. ahem. grateful. ahem.

Hooray! I assumed that was the reason you had been so sick lately. I am sure all the sickness will be worth it in the end! Congrats. I guess your little guy or gal will be a year behind Mason in school.

Complain away!!! That is WONDERFUL. I love hearing that couples are expecting, it just makes you feel like things are right in the world! I love Mr. Big Brother’s expression, that’s why you have a few more months for him to warm up to the idea :) There is just nothing better than babies!

First, let me say how sorry I am for your previous miscarriages. I know the feeling all too well (mine were due to low progesterone)and I have three beautiful children to be thankful for, too.
So happy for you during this exciting time!
