Party of 4!

That's what Nick and I will be saying soon...because now we are NG N SG +2!
Yep, Gavin's going to be a big brother.
I have been dying to blog about it.  I am now 14 weeks (officially on Tuesday) so I'm officially in the second trimester now.  I apologize to those who had to read it here but I just don't have time to tell every one in person so this is the easiest way.  I had to keep it a secret until we knew we had confirmation of a heartbeat given that we miscarried last summer.  After that experience, I didn't want to get our hopes up just in case.  But, we had a sonogram and we saw a very active baby to the point where I asked if she was in distress because I don't remember Gavin being that active at the first sonogram.  The heartbeat sounded good then and at the last appointment about 2 weeks ago.  My next appointment is Feb 15th when I get the order for the next sonogram when hopefully we'll be able to find out the sex of the baby.  Although everyone and I mean EVERYONE is convinced it's a girl.  Nick and I think it's a girl but we also thought Gavin was a girl so who knows.  We're excited either way and of course just pray for a healthy baby.

I already feel behind because I haven't blogged as much as I did with Gavin's pregnancy but honestly there hasn't been much to report luckily.  I have felt great....except for this weekend when I was sick with a fever and all.  But now I'm better and just have a runny nose with the occasional cough.  I'm taking care of myself as much as I can.  I've been to the birthing center a couple of times now and the midwives make sure that I'm eating right---I have to keep a food diary and they review it every time I go.  So, that's holding me accountable for sure.  I have gained about 13 pounds already, so about 1 lb/week.  I've been able to continue working out.  In fact, I've ran a few times now without getting totally winded which is great.

I'll keep this one short.  I just wanted to make the announcement.  There are many things that I want to blog about in relation to this but they will come in separate postings.
