Baby # 2 is....

A boy!!! He was very proud of himself yesterday at the ultrasound and the doctor had no question that it's a boy. :) We're so, so excited! And we think it's great that Josiah will have a younger brother so close in age. God has blessed us!

Thanks for voting!

So now we just need to find a name that Aaron and I actually agree on. Please leave your suggestions for some good boy names.

Boy Or Girl

We go to the doctor tomorrow for a check up and he said that he might be able to tell us the sex of the baby. Honestly, I'm not holding my breath but we'll see! It would be nice to find out while Mom and Dad are there with us. I would love to have a little girl, but I also love the idea of Josiah having a little brother. It's pretty much a win/win situation for us! :)

Anyway, I still don't have a clue one way or the other about what I'm having. So, I thought that I would take a poll. I'll add one to the top of the page, so please vote and let me know what you think we're having.

And I'll tell you a little about my pregnancy so you can make an educated guess!

1. I started feeling sick at 3 weeks but with Josiah I felt fine until 6 weeks.
2. I'm craving a mixture of meat, fruit and sweets. With Josiah I only wanted sour stuff - pickles, green olives and lemons.
3. I'm already huge, but I think that's just because it's my second.
4. I'm more tired with this one than I was with Josiah.
5 One night I dreamed I had a girl and then a few weeks later I dreamed it was a boy.
6. I did not sleep well in my first trimester but with Josiah I slept great through the whole pregnancy.

Well, I can't think of anything else for the list right now. So, please go vote!

Josiah's First Haircut

I'm having mixed emotions right now. My baby boy just got his first haircut and well...he doesn't look like a baby anymore. It really is past time for him to get it cut though - he's 17 months old and when it was wet it hung below his shoulder blades. I love the cut, I think the lady did a great job but I'm really going to miss those curls. At least this way maybe people will stop telling me that I have a beautiful daughter! :)

I was really nervous about how he'd do while the lady attempted to cut his hair. He took it like a man - with a cookie in each hand and mom holding a sucker! He really did great and she was done in no time. We did keep some of those sweet curls too!



The "before" shot. Here he is waiting with Papa.



The first cut!

You can see the cookie and sucker in this photo. Wish you could see all the hair on me!


Here's the "after" shot! What a big boy...


Here's a shot of the back.


And this is the best I could get of the front.

12 weeks with # 2

Yes, it's true - I'm finally in my 12th week! We went to the doctor on Monday and got a good report. The baby looks healthy and the heart beat is strong.

I'm sure you are all wondering if we are going to find out what we're having this time. I loved not knowing with Josiah - that was the best surprise ever - but I think that I want to find out this time. My doctor said that he might be able to tell us at the next appointment, so we're excited about that.

The doctor's appointment was fun because Mom and Dad were able to come with us. When the doctor performed the ultrasound we were all in the room together. It was Dad's first time seeing an ultrasound and hearing a baby's heartbeat. The doctor even moved my next appointment up a few days so that Mom and Dad could make it to that one before they leave!

So, here is my 12 week picture. Just to end the questions before they start - yes, I'm sure I'm only 12 weeks along and yes, I'm sure there is only one in there.
