Day 6 – the big news
June 24th, 2010
Our family and friends mostly know about this already, but I want to tell the rest of you and get this out of the way. I know, I’m weird, but I don’t like telling people big news like this. I don’t like being the center of attention. I get hot and uncomfortable and people are just happy for me and want to share in my excitement and joy and all I can think about is slinking away to a corner where I can blend into the furniture.
So…yep. I’m pregnant. I’m about 16 weeks along now. I feel good, no morning sickness or major food aversions, just the need to sleep 14 hours a day, and apparently to spend several of my waking hours crocheting—perhaps my recent burst of creativity has been hormone-fueled?
We don’t know yet if it’s a boy or girl. Yes, we plan to find out at our next ultrasound. No, we have not thought about names yet.
We’re happy, of course, except for Annalie. “Happy” is too mild a word to describe her utter joy and excitement that she’s finally going to be a big sister. She’s been waiting years for this.

Oh my! What wonderful news! Your two will have the same age gap as my two.
We just announced our fourth kiddo, and I’m still a little hesitant to tell. I’m usually such a diva…I don’t know why I don’t like pregnancy-related attention, but I completely understand.
Congrats!!
