the deets + a bit of a bump.

oh my crap you guys, i am completely overwhelmed by all the awesomeness shown by you all from our news yesterday!

it was christmas all day long as my phone went crazy with tweets, comments, facebook posts & emails of congrats!  actually, it kinda kicked christmas's hiney because not near that many people wished us a merry christmas so, i'm chalking "baby-announcement-day" up as my new favorite holiday.  maybe i should announce a baby once a year?  HA!  yeah right.  i think my uterus just kicked me in the junk.

but seriously, thanks for all the love.  *tear*

ok.  here are some details.

•   i'm thirteen weeks along today.
•   we've known since i was five weeks.
•   we saw kid two's heartbeat at eight weeks.
•   we heard kid two's heartbeat at twelve weeks.
•   we told sam's family in person on christmas & my family in person on new year's eve.  both families are pretty dang excited.
•   we are definitely finding out if kid two is a boy or girl as soon as we can!  probably in the next month & a half or so.
•   i've been SUPER tired & it's hard to find anything to eat that sounds good.  i usually settle on something that inevitably makes me feel sick afterwards.  
•   i've only thrown up once so far & that was two days ago.
•   blogging/photography has suffered as my usual work times are during parker's nap & after sam goes to bed.  
•   instead of wanting to get on the computer, i've opted to climb in bed at these times & sleep like a zombie.
•   i had visions of cute pinterest-inspired weekly bump pics with my big-camera & remote but with all the set up time it just isn't gonna happen.  
•   i will however be doing weekly bump pictures with my iPhone & comparing them to my pregnancy with parker HERE {weeks 12 & 13 are already posted}.  i want to keep it simple so that i actually do it every week!

•   p-ray & kid two will be about 28 months apart.  just about right, wouldn'tcha say?



again, to see what has started to form as my bump, feel free to go HERE.  i will post a few more detailed updates for weeks twelve & thirteen next week to catch up.

happy friday!  and thanks again for all your awesomeness & love.

  7. How cool to compare your belly shots like that! Parker will be a great big brother -- he's already a good play mate. I think 28 months is so perfect, I just might copy you. :)

  22. Oh my gosh, congratulations!!! Mine are 26 months apart and I think it's a great age gap. Niall LOVES being a big brother and I'm sure Parker will be the same way. Hope you get through the morning sickness soon-- shouldn't be much longer if you're anything like me (I think mine went away at 14 or 15 weeks). So excited for you!
