Getting pregnant this time was
much easier than when we were trying for Kaili. My cycles regulated
themselves after giving birth to her and I was back on track with
the normal 28-30 days. We charted this time and used the Shettles
Method with timing in hopes of conceiving a boy. But personally,
I'll be just as thrilled to have another little girl around!! ;) |

This time I took two tests instead
of three. I tried out the newer Clear Blue Easy Digital tests and
was pretty thrilled to see "pregnant" pop right up on that
screen! The second test was a cheapie from Wal-mart that I took a
day later. The plus sign wasn't super dark, but I can't expect much
from a $4 test. |

Once again, Wayne was sleeping
when I took my test early in the morning. I ran in there with the
digital test and woke him up! He was excited like last time! Kind
of confused since I woke him up. But he knew that I'd be testing
and that bold "pregnant" was much easier for a guy to
read than "one
line, two lines, what does that mean?" :) |

We found out we were having another baby
the week of Kaili's 2nd birthday party. On Friday, November 10th,
we had a family get together to celebrate her turning 2. Since
we
knew both sides of our family would all be together at the same
place we decided to make a shirt for her to wear that said, "Im
going to be a BIG SISTER in July 2006!" as a way to tell them
all at once. Her final gift, Wayne helped her open the box w/
the shirt. He
turned
her
back
to everyone
and put the t-shirt on and then turned her back around for all
to see! Everybody seemed SO happy and excited!! |

I've always heard that with the
second pregnancy you start showing much sooner. I'm definitely
seeing
this first hand now! I haven't remembered to take any belly pics
so far, but I'll try to get one in before the first trimester is
over! |

We don't plan on having an official
baby shower for this pregnancy. But I'm pretty sure there will
be a BBQ celebration at some point!! ;) You know us - any reason
for a get together! Check back later for details! |

The good news? No labor and
pushing this time around. Atleast I hope not! I already know that
I'll be going straight for a c-section! I'm actually relieved.
My whole birth experience with Kaili was absolutely exhausting. I'm
hoping with a planned surgery it will be a much smoother ride
for all of us! |

Check back
in July 2006 (eek!) for the birth story and pictures!! |
