Guess What!!

I'M PREGNANT!! It seems along with everyone else, I am also due in Sept, on the 14th. That makes me almost 14 weeks along (3 1/2 months for those who are not female and don't want to do the simple math) I am in my second trimester. The first wasn't to rocky, pretty much just extreme exhaustion, but in the last couple of weeks my energy has returned and I feel a little more human and have a little hump to show for it (no, it isn't very noticeable yet, but it is there). I have also been able to feel the baby move a few times, which was a surprise to me so early, but I guess I know what to feel for, this time around. Kaleb already knows about the baby too, anytime you ask him (except when too many people are watching or when Emily is around) where the baby is, he will point to my belly button. Who knows how much he understands or will understand before the baby gets here but it is fun to think he is going to be an older brother and I want him to be excited when the baby does come. So the next question you probably have is, was this planed? Well kind of, we had "stoped preventing" it for the last six months and "tried" for a couple of months, but because we were into Sept, and up against Matt starting school in another state (potentially) we stopped and prevented it again, and low and behold here I am, pregnant and due in September. So we have some things to work around and help from family might (okay, will) be needed, but we will make it through, and we are both excited to welcome another spirit into our family!
I had my first doc apt, and it went well, the baby seems to be healthy and strong. We probably wont have the ultra sound until about 20 weeks, so we have a ways to go before we know the gender. We are hoping for a boy, but of course will be thrilled with a girl too! Going off the fact that this pregnancy is almost identical to Kaleb's, my guess is that it is a boy, but we shall see!
