These last few weeks/months have been a little rough for our little family. It may be why I have been so mediocre when it comes to the blog. We've had this HUGE thing going on and I didn't feel like I could talk about it -- so it was difficult to add anything to JwJ when this big thing couldn't be mentioned.

Until now.

We're expecting Baby #2!

Jack has requested a sister though Husband swears it's a boy based on a recent ultrasound we had. The doctor (an OB for more than 25 years) says there's no way to tell this early but maybe he knows something she doesn't. Everyone else in my family is convinced this baby is a girl. I am sure we'll find out in a few weeks.

I hit 12 weeks Sunday so I am close to being done with my first trimester. The morning sickness has been strong with this one -- much stronger than with Jack. We also had a scare with bleeding and for several hours I was convinced I lost the baby. But after a week of bed rest, things are looking up. The doctor says once you hear a heartbeat there's only a 1 in 100 chance of miscarriage. Pretty good stats, I'd say.

The baby comes Sept. 16 -- sandwiched between the Michigan State v. Pittsburgh and the Notre Dame game. Let's hope R2 decides to come during the week.
