Well, We Did It!

(Pardon the pun.)

We're expecting! Baby #2 is due around August 2, 2011!



This has been a whirlwind of a weekend. Abbey was extremely congested Friday night and had us up every hour on the hour. Then, Saturday morning I woke up at 5:30 am to go on an all day shopping trip with my mom in Cleveland. I decided to take an HPT as, although my temp that morning had dropped slightly, it was still well above my coverline. At first, I didn't see anything on the test. Then, about a minute later, I thought I started to see a second line developing. I freaked out, haha! I woke Mike up by shoving the test in his face. He just looked at me and started laughing.

It was killer being around my mom all day and not being able to say anything. Plus, I tried to brush off the fact that I needed to keep sitting down since my lower back was hurting due to all the walking we were doing. When I got home later that night, I found that Abigail's congestion the night before had turned into an all out cold. She had a fever, a runny nose, and was so hysterical when we tried to put her to sleep that none of us ended up going to bed until midnight. Luckily, my mom came over Sunday to watch her so that Mike and I could catch up on some sleep.

We've decided, even though I won't be quite 5 weeks at the time, to spill the beans on Thanksgiving since all of my family will be there. I ordered this from Zoey's Attic on Etsy (personalized with Abigail, obviously):

The seller said she can mail the shirt today, so I'm hopeful that it will arrive in time. I can't wait to see how long it will take for someone to comment on it. Since it's a Thanksgiving themed shirt anyway, I don't think my family will catch on for quite awhile. We're also planning on taking Abigail over to my IL's earlier in the day on Thursday so that we can tell them then as well.

I'm so excited! I'm going to call my OB here in a few minutes to set up my first appointment!
