A big sister



Is what Danika will be! We are expecting our second child on August 28, 2010! We are so super excited about our new little baby joining our family. Its going much faster than it did with Danika - I'm 7 weeks today - still super early but getting closer and closer to the end of the first trimester. 

Most of you know my first pregnancy ended in a very sad miscarriage back in 2007. Originally I wanted to wait until the 2nd trimester to share our news, but we figure - the people we share our news with love our daughter and will love this little baby, too - and will cry with us if something goes wrong, or celebrate when she/he arrives. 

We got to see and hear the little heartbeat on January 5! The ultrasound tech kept referring to it as the flicker - so! We nicknamed the little nudge a little flicker :) 

Once again the morning sickness has loyally appeared ... currently my diet consists of crackers and cheese, and rootbeer floats. Its funny how with my morning sickness with Danika, it was awful and people kept telling me "its worth it!". Yep. I wanted to vomit down their throat. Now, after seeing and feeling the love a mommy feels, it makes the queasiness and vomitting so, so, so worth it - it puts it all in perspective. 

It makes me sad that my time with just me and Danika is coming to an end, but I just know she will be a fabulous sister, kinda like me :)
