Big Sister

Today, my mom came over to watch Avery while Artie and I got out to go see a movie.  It was so nice to have some time to ourselves!  We went to see Twilight...I have read all four books and was looking forward to seeing how the first one would be on screen.  In my opinion, it stayed really true to the book and I liked it-Artie did too even though he hadn't read any of the books.  Anyway, it was a nice time to get out...we got back in time to watch most of the ND game-seriously are they ever going to have a good season again??  It is so frustrating watching their games!  Okay, so in other news...Avery's going to be a big sister.  We really haven't told many people-seriously like only a handful and just recently.  When I was pregnant with Avery, everyone I knew found out when I was only a few weeks along.  This time, we waited, mostly because I wanted Avery to enjoy as much attention as possible without people thinking about the new baby.  I finally had to start telling people this week because, well, even though I'm still running and working out, I'm already showing like crazy and pretty much couldn't hide it anymore.  I guess some people really do show a lot sooner with their second.  The baby will be here mid-late May...so even though I really don't like being pregnant, I'm looking forward to not being pregnant during the summer this time around!  So that's the news around here.  Hope no one feels slighted by not getting a personal phone call if you see this before we talk to you...not many people got the news straight from the horses mouth this time around!

Congrats Steph! That is so exciting!!! I remember not being thrilled being prego- so I can sympathize- but maybe since you know what to expect (thinking that it will be the same this time) it will be easier to go through!
