I’ve been meaning to write this post for what seems like an eternity. But alas, life gets busy. Though I’m sure 90% of you who read this will already know our wonderful news, I wanted to make an official announcement!
We’re having another baby!
Our bundle of joy will arrive somewhere around June 19th—which is the official due date! I will be 13 weeks tomorrow. Link and Baby #2 will be almost exactly 2 years apart!
FAQs
Was is planned?
Yup. And we are thrilled! But we didn’t know it would happen so quickly. It took us 9 months to get pregnant with Lincoln and only 1 month with this one! What a blessing!
Are you going to find out what you’re having?
Yes, yes.
Do you want a boy or girl?
No preference! Either would be really fun! I don’t even have an inkling as to what to expect. I knew Link was a boy. This should be a total surprise!
Did you pick a fetus name?
You may remember us calling Link “Feets” while he was in utero. Miles has again named our little fetus. This one goes by “Sneaker.” There’s a bit of a story with this one that I won’t tell here. But doesn’t sound good with Feets. Feets, Sneaker, get it?
How’s your pregnancy been?
Sicker this time. Not as bad as some women have it I’m sure. But I’ve been uncomfortable at times. And I’m a big baby and complain a lot. Poor Miles!
Are you showing yet?
Well, let’s just say that I shared the news with my boss last week, and she told me she had already guessed that I was pregnant from the sight of my belly! It’s just how it is people, when you have basically no waist. There’s no where for all my organs and fat to go but out! And don’t get your hopes up, I won’t be showing bare belly pictures this time around. The battle scars from the last one aren’t pretty!
Did I get all the basic questions covered?
Though sometimes I can’t believe I’m doing this all over again already, we are so thrilled about adding another member to our little family! Lincoln is going to be an outstanding older brother, and I already know this new baby will touch our lives and fill our home with more love. We’re so excited to meet him or her.
Thanks, Andrea, for the FAQ idea

Yea! I have been waiting for some details. We really DO need to chat. Your two little ones will be spaced just about the same as mine – they are 5 days shy of being exactly 2 years apart. It was a little hard at first, but now it is so much fun and I can only imagine it will be more fun as they keep growing older. You will love it! And can you believe that we keep alternating kids? It would be fun to be pregnant at the same time sometime. I can’t wait to hear what you are having. I imagine you find out mid-January?

Love the post, of course. Congratulations! I’m so excited that our babies are due only 1 day apart. It is going to be so fun to go through this pregnancy together, even though we’re 3,000 miles apart.
Love you!

That’s fabulous!! I guessed by a comment about being preggo in a previous post. Where are you working now? Good luck- we’re about 3 weeks behind you.

You mentioned you’ve been sick, and I thought of you when I read this:
Women who have morning sickness are less likely to miscarry than those who do not, possibly because the same hormonal changes that cause nausea and vomiting contribute to a healthy pregnancy.

It was in the middle of an article about caffeine and miscarriage, but I hope it makes you feel a little better about feeling sick! Good luck!
