Well for most of you who have checked my facebook or instagram, you know we are expecting baby #2. Yay!!! We are so excited! I thought i would blog a little to let you all know how this pregnancy came to be(Don't worry, it doesn't include that kind of information;)), How this pregnancy has been compared to my last, and some fun pictures of how we told everyone our big news.
Well... Ben has actually been trying to talk me into having another baby for months now. I was really against it, because I had other plans... Go to school, Get at least an associates degree, spend time with my Katey bug, and travel more...... As we all know.. Our plan isn't always the right plan.... One day I decided to take a nap. As I was taking that nap, I had a dream of a little baby. The minute I woke up, I realized that this was Heavenly Father's way of telling me it is time to bring another child into this world. Ben came home and I started crying, and instantly he knew what I was about to say. We got me off of birth control, waited another month to start trying and we got pregnant the first month we were trying. You may think that is weird, but to me that is another way of the Lord reassuring me that it is time. And sure enough since we were trying, I started taking test's as soon as i could we started to see faint lines at 3 1/2 weeks.
This pregnancy has been easier in some ways, and harder in other ways compared to my last pregnancy. I haven't been throwing up as much as I did with Katey. Thank goodness! And there are some times of the day where I feel almost normal. That is a major blessing to me, because I felt like I had a disease with my first pregnancy. On the down side, I am still throwing up. This pregnancy liquids and meats trigger my nausea. So I have to get ice to put in my drinks, and drink whatever sounds good as much as possible, especially during those few hours I'm feeling ok. Evenings are the hardest. That is another blessing, because Ben gets home a few hours after it starts, so he can help take care of Katey. Because I can't keep liquids down we went in at 7 weeks to get everything checked out and to get a prescription for Zofran to help with the nausea. That still only helps so much. But we got to do a mini- ultrasound and saw the heartbeat of our sweet baby. We decided to bring Katey to this appointment so she could see the baby too.(Even though I don't think she really understands quite yet.)

After this Appt.Ben got me these pretty flowers to show me how excited he is. He is such a sweetie. Then we loaded up our little car and headed up north for a mini-vacation with our families. My mom was staying with my grandma, so we stayed there to spend some time with them and my brother. It was so nice. I got pampered by them. They were so sweet to help me with my dehydration, and other pregnancy issues. This was the weekend we told some of our closest friends and Ben's family the big news. Sadly I don't have pictures of how we told Ben's family our news. But, I will do my best to explain it. We made party favors for each one of them and put candy and a picture of the ultrasound picture in there. Some of the kid's didn't know what the picture was. Some of their comments were priceless. One said, " Is this a birds nest?"

After a couple more weeks we had another appointment with my midwife. And everything looks good, so we decided to share our news with all of you!
Another pair of shoes for our growing family! We are due April 2, 2013. We can't wait!
