New Adventures

Well, I'm pretty sure that everyone who reads this blog already knows, but since I finally told my bosses on Friday, I can put it out in the public arena: we're going to have another baby!! Yes, dear reader, Nathan is going to embark on the adventure of big brotherhood, and Todd and I are going to embark on the adventure of adding another human to the family! I am 13 weeks pregnant tomorrow, with the new little bean expected to arrive sometime around the last week in September (we're hoping for Aunt Erin's birthday).

We had two losses in the process of trying to conceive this bambino, so the news that this little life appears to be thriving is extra precious. I will keep you updated on all the pregnancy news as it develops. Right now I am happy to be able to share our news, and happy to be entering the wonderful second trimester!

Introducing: the new baby! This portrait was taken at 12 weeks, and he/she is starting to look like a baby! I got to see it wiggling around and waving its arms and legs--so cute!

They say that you start to show a lot earlier with your second baby, and I think that "they" might be right! I've already switched to some maternity pants because they are just so darn comfy that I can't resist. Here's the belly at 13 weeks:


For comparison, here's my 13 week belly with Nathan:

You're in such great shape Jess, that's a great baby belly!

I'm sorry to read about the losses too, and even happier this one is thriving.
