It's a......

Healthy GIRL!!!
We are just so grateful and excited! We feel very blessed. I can't wait for Ellie to have a little sister!

Matt showing Ellie her little sister. I love this picture because of her big smile!

Me at 17 weeks....yep, a bit bigger than last time with Ellie! Most of that bump was made by Edy's Ice Cream. :)

And last but not least, here's Matt celebrating the joyous news tonight by watching Star Wars with some friends! :) In his defense, this was planned for a few weeks. :)

P.S. Matt is so proud of his "Decembeard" and will say farewell to it in January! :)

Boy or Girl?

Tomorrow is the BIG DAY where we (hopefully) find out if the baby is a boy or girl! At first, I was sure it's a girl but so many people have been telling me the profile pic looks like a boy so I am not as sure anymore! Either way, we'll be happy. :)

I've caught myself thinking about how this ultrasound went with Ellie (this is the one where we found out she had a heart defect and Down syndrome) and then I feel lots of anxiety. But, I have also felt great comfort and peace from above and am learning to trust in those feelings rather than the fear (which I know for sure doesn't come from above!!!). One thing I do know is that this baby will be so lucky to have Ellie as a sister! And Ellie will be so blessed to have a sibling (and hopefully more later!).

I've been feeling the baby move around a lot in the past week which has been really fun! I can't wait to see him/her and how he/she's doing tomorrow!

Any guesses on girl or boy? Please share!

Something's in the oven...and it's not a bun!

Our family is so excited to announce that another baby will be joining our family in May!!! Everything is going well with the pregnancy so far. I am finally starting to get past the nausea and being tired 24/7! Wahooooooo! We are so grateful for this blessing and look forward to meeting this special spirit.
