Big News!

August 15th was an exciting and surprising day for us. 

I just had this feeling all day and sure enough when I got home this is what happened:

Surprise for us!!  But we are thrilled about it.  We saw the baby and heard the hearbeat for the first time yesterday.  It was just as amazing as seeing the first one.  It is so hard for me to believe that there is something living inside of me like that because I literally have no pregnancy symptoms.  It was the same way with Mallory.  My due date is April 22nd (my baby brother's birthday).  Everything looked great yesterday and I was measuring right on track at 8 weeks and 3 days.  I am very thankful that this baby will be here before summer, and hope that that will save me from the extreme swelling that I had with Mallory. 

I haven't posted in a while because our laptop got struck by lightning so I have no home computer now.  Then a week later, my beloved cell phone died for good.  The very next day, I got a new phone but still no computer.  Hopefully soon.  & then I can go back to posting regularly :)
