In case you don't know what this is, its a pregnancy test, and yes, its showing a positive result. We are ecstatic to annouce the newest addition to our family is due to arrive in early April!!!
On Tuesday, I got to hear the heartbeat of the baby for the first time. It brought a gigantic smile to my face. Amazing how just hearing those fast little thuds can make your own heart skip a beat and brighten your entire week!
We've already started talking to Gabi about the new baby coming, and we bought a book to help explain it to her. But, obviously, she's still too young to really grasp the concept. Nevertheless, we're sure she's very excited about becoming a big sister. She is always very excited to look at and play with any babies we meet at storytime or the playground - she's very loving and always tries to give them hugs. So, hopefully the "good will" will continue after she has to share "Mommy" with one of those fascinating little babies!
Chris and I are very excited. This pregnancy is especially nice because the job Chris has now is non-deployable and he will be able to be here through the entire pregnancy and delivery (knock-on-wood). So, this time around is definitely going to be a lot different for him. Last time he came home to a big, fat, 6-month pregnant lady - this time he has to watch it all take place gradually, like the rest of us.
I'll post pictures of my pregnant belly eventually. Right now I just look like I've been eating too much - but maybe in another month or two!!
