Ladies and Gentlemen, we have an announcement

Stace and I are thrilled to announce, we're having another baby! That's right, Cora Rose is going to be a big sister, come April.

I'm nearly nine weeks along, with a due date around the third week of April. We had our first ultrasound today. The picture isn't all that great, but it was exciting seeing the ultrasound images in person. Stace and I also got to hear the baby's heartbeat - that quick, rhythmic beat was incredible to hear.

Unfortunately, like my pregnancy with Cora, I've been having a lot of morning sickness. Like clockwork, when I hit six weeks pregnant, I started feeling terrible, and had two really tough weeks. Thankfully, it's eased up a bit, in that I can get dressed and leave the house again. Still, I'm having lots of bad moments, and need to rest a lot. I know it will all be worth it in the end, and having amazing days like today, listening to that heartbeat, make it that much easier to handle.

We haven't told Cora the news yet. We decided we will wait until I'm past the 12-week point, and showing more, so that it makes more sense to her. We have been talking to her about babies a lot though, because she's going to have a new cousin in December - Uncle Dean and Auntie Jenny are expecting their first baby then!
