Baby #2 - I'm Pregnant!

Tues, Nov 4, 2014 at 7:15pm

Ok baby #2.  I think you're starting to brew.  We've been wanting you for a while now and I was worried you would take longer than I preferred.  Funny...  I was expecting you to come last month, or the month before and was absolutely convinced that you could not come this month... Alas, you have a mind of your own already and surprised your own mama.

Your daddy is in NYC right now, but he will be home tonight.  I'm not sure yet how I'm gonna break the news,  for now, its our little secret together.  But I know he will be thrilled.  Thrilled and slightly scared most likely, as I just lost my job.  So now he probably feels like he needs to work extra hard for you.  But we know you'll be worth it.

Your older brother is one year old today, actually 12 and a half months.  He is a little bundle of joy and has the sweetest disposition -- I know he'll make the best big brother you could possibly imagine.  And all of us will smother you with kisses.

According to the pregnancy calendar, your expected due date is July 4, 2014.  A real, American baby planning on arriving to a steady stream of fireworks no less!  I'd expected as much from a second baby of mine ;)  Unfortunately this means we are stuck in Houston during the hottest months of the year... Fortunately, we might make it to Chicago in late summer for some relief and you'll be plenty big enough to enjoy an exotic vacation with us come the winter holidays this year.

Anyway, I am still soaking this all in, since I literally just learned of you 5 minutes ago.  Just wanted to write down some thoughts, as I vow to continue to shower my baby #2 with attention as well.

And finally, I'm guessing GIRL.  I could be wrong, and either way will be thrilled.  I would LOVE for Henry to have a brother to play with, and I myself would love another son.  Having one opened my heart up more than I could have imagined so i could only imagine how having another one would enlarge it even more.  That said, I'll naturally be pleased with a daughter.  Finally a girl in the family, I and your grandma and grandpa might say!  Either way, I love you already and forever.

Love,
Mama
