We're Pregnant!

I feel I'm a little late getting this out on the blog, but as they say "better late than never..."
Jason & I are SO excited to be expecting another little one.  God has been so good to us to give our family another precious little life.  I figured I would answer all the pregnancy questions for you to brief you on how the journey has been so far.

Have I been sick?
The 1st 3 1/2 months were terrible.  I mean T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E.  I was so sick, so dizzy, so .... everything.  I had every possible symptom.  There.  Don't you feel terrible for me?  Ha!

How far along am I?
I am 21 weeks pregnant.  Baby 2 is due February 12th. 

Do we know if it's a boy or girl?
Yes, but we're keeping it a secret right now.  Sorry.....  ;)

Have I felt it move?
Yes.  I began feeling flutters around 18 weeks and definite movements several days later.

Baby is right on schedule....actually last week at the sonogram it measured a day ahead of schedule.  All fingers and toes are accounted for, and during the sono we got to see it playing with its toes which was so cute.  I'm already taken with the baby, and I feel like I can sense a different personality to this one.  I love just sitting or lying and feeling it move.  I'm so excited to meet our new little one.

This is a picture of me now...

This is a picture of me 21 weeks pregnant with Rayleigh...I'm definitely showing a little more with this one, don't ya think?

Rayleigh is so excited to be a big sister.  She pats and rubs my belly often during the day and will even run up to kiss the baby several times throughout the course of the day.  She'll sing to it, talk to it.....she's going to be a great help to me.  I'm so thankful for her, and I'm trying to soak up these last few months of twosome time before life changes for our family.  More to come later!

Congratulations! I heard a while ago from... goodness, baby brain has fully taken over, I can't remember which of the Harts told me! Sounds like Rayleigh is enjoying being a big sister already.
