Announcing Baby #2

Well, I know it's no excuse, but part of the reason I've been neglecting the blog lately is that WE'RE PREGNANT. We're due April 12, 2012, but it will probably be closer to the 5th of April since I'll be having a scheduled c-section.

I am currently 15 weeks and feeling great, however the first trimester was a little rough. I was nauseous and tired and had headaches too. Keeping up with Connor was all I could do. Man, it was a lot harder this time feeling bad and chasing a rambunctious 2 year old. I guess it's a sign of things to come.

Jeff and I are really excited and Connor doesn't have a clue. I keep telling people that I don't think Connor is going to get it until the baby arrives and then doesn't leave. He'll think, "Hey, having a baby around for a few days was fun, but um, when are we sending this baby back to it's real home?" I'm sure there will be plenty of adjustments, but I am confident it will all work out.

Here is one of the first pictures of baby Treadway that I got in my first trimester screen at 12 weeks. It was fun to see the baby move around. He or she even crossed his legs at one point. It was cute.

Speaking of he or she, Jeff and I plan to make finding out the gender a surprise again. I hope it doesn't disappoint too many of our fans. Hee hee. At first I thought this time I'd want to know, because I'd be so anxious for a girl, but after having a boy and knowing how much I love it, I really would be happy with either. Plus, as a second time Mom, simplicity is key and I already have a lot of boy stuff including clothes that should fit pretty well since the babies will only be 2 months apart as far as what month they were born. Connor will be almost 3 at the time of Baby #2's birth.

I'll keep you posted as more things develop.
