Oh Baby!

Yep, it's true. Neel and I are expecting again. We are so thrilled and eagerly anticipating all the fun we're about to have...all over again. Joshua, who will turn 10 tomorrow and Rebekah, who is 7 & a 1/2 are definately the most excited. Rebekah has become my little stalker and follows me everywhere at home. She reads my pregnancy book more than I do and reminds me exactly how big the baby is every week. "Today the baby is the size of a large lime, Mommy!" This is going to be the most exciting pregnancy by far. Having older children at home, I have the advantage of involving them from the get go. They are even helping with laundry, dishes, and other chores. Hmmm...I wonder how long that will last?!


Here are some bits of info for you to keep up with:
We found out we were pregnant on Thursday night, May 1st
Told the kids about the "big news" on Sat. May 3rd
Told my parents & in-laws on Sun. May 4th
And since that time, the news has been spreading across the world--literally. Our family in India and England are all finding out our news!


Everything with the pregnancy is going well. I'm about 11 1/2 weeks along now and just about over my "morning sickness". My ob/gyn has bumped up my 12 week visit to tomorrow, June 24th since I became sick in India and needed a check-up. Oh, yea--I went to India for 2 weeks. But more about that trip on another blog. Our official due date is Jan. 5th or 6th 2008, but because I'll be having another c-section, they are making plans to delivery the baby about a week beforehand--making this one a New Year's Eve baby--maybe. We'll see how things go.

In the meantime, we just wanted to share the big news and let everyone know that we are all doing well. In my next blog, I'll show you a sonogram pic of the baby at 9 weeks.

So long!
