Exciting News!!

The latest news (well it's not really new news for my husband and me) is that I am pregnant! I'm due March 19, 2010. We are really excited, and I know Ayden will be a great big brother. It was a rough first trimester because I was pretty exhausted and had "all day" sickness. I even lost weight, what a great diet plan :) I'm feeling better now, but am still tired more than usual. I had a doctors appointment last week and got to hear the heartbeat for a few seconds. Baby kept moving around so didn't get to hear it for long. I'm counting down the weeks until we find out whether we are having a boy or girl. I didn't think I had a preference either way, but early into my pregnancy I had a dream that I had a boy and in my dream I started to cry. Does that mean I really want a girl? It doesn't matter as long as it is healthy. I'm hoping I can get Ayden pretty much potty-trained by the time he/she arrives. It would also be nice if we could sell our house and be moved to Ames by then, but that is asking a lot. We are going to go shopping for a big boy bed for Ayden in a few weeks. I already got him some sheets and a quilt with trucks and tractors on them. Hopefully that will make the transition easier.

We shared the news with my family by having Ayden wear a "I'm going to be a big brother shirt." Everyone noticed within seconds of seeing Ayden and his shirt what our news was. It was a fun way to tell people though :)
