I guess I better answer a couple of questions that have come up surrounding my post from last week. Well, the answer to the first obvious question is, yes, I am going to have another baby. I am due August 8th, which makes me 13 weeks along. Joel and I decided early on to tell people at about 12 weeks, which we did. At the time it felt like an eternity, but now that it is out in the open I kind of feel like we told people a little too early. August just seems so far away it seems a little silly to be telling people in January. Oh, well. It's nice not to have to keep the secret anymore.

I have not been that sick. I have gotten sick maybe 10 or 15 times which is a lot different than with Jenna. With her I was sick every day for 13 weeks. This time it has been sporadic and didn't really start until about week 10. I am just hoping I am not one of those people who is fine the first trimester and a mess the second.

I won't find out what we are having until March. I would love to have another girl, but would also love to have a boy. I have a feeling this one is a boy because of the lack of morning sickness and because of Joel's family history of lots of boys. I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

We don't have any names picked out yet. We are taking suggestions :) (Nothing too weird, please!).

Joel and I are really excited and a little freaked out. The excitement definitely outweighs the freaking out right now, though. It's been awhile coming, so we're glad it's finally happening. Joel has been really good to me so far and I am not that far along. You better keep it up, hon! Jenna has no clue. She loves babies, though, so we are hoping this holds true with her new sibling.

I think that answers the questions people have asked us. Thanks for being so happy for us!

Okay, I just want to say 12 weeks is plenty. Sure, if you say August it seems like forever. But you can't really count August since you are due at the begining. And it's already February. The time will fly by so fast. I'm still so excited for you!
