Baby on Board!

We are proud to announce that we are expecting our second baby January 27, 2012!

We found out May 21, 2011. We were in a lot of shock and disbelief but have embraced this exciting news! It was an early birthday present for Daddy. We decided to keep this quiet until the 12 week mark just to be safe.

On Friday July 15, I had my first prenatal doctor's appointment and got to hear our new babies heartbeat for the first time. After this appointment I had my first ultrasound. We decided to do the IPS tesing this time (so we could have an early ultrasound). Seeing our baby for the first time was such an exciting moment. This has made this so much more real for us.

Daddy didn't come with me but on my way back to work I stopped to show him the ultrasound. I was delighted top see him snag the paper and hug it to his body before he darted inside to make a photocopy to show his co-worker.

The babies heartbeat was 162 beats per minute. Ethan was a constant 160 beats per minute - could this mean a baby boy? We'll have to wait 6 more weeks!

What do you think?



We have been talking to Ethan a lot of about the baby. He even told his teachers at school that "mommy has a baby in her belly" and the other day Ethan was having ice cream and I didn't - Ethan them told me "Ice cream isn't good for the baby".

We are excited for the next chapter of our lives.

xoxo Tiffany, Jonathan, Ethan and our fetus ;)
