Baby #2 (Not a trick this time)

In case you didn't catch the last post, or my post on facebook, or notice my expanding waistline, or hear me puking at work...

Yes, we are expecting Allen baby #2, due May 8th. We are thrilled to welcome another little one into our family. The pregnancy has been a little rough so far despite some excellent anti-nausea medication. Poor Branden had to deal with me curled up in bed a lot moaning "you did this to me!" and little Marina would come pat me on the leg while I puked into the sink and say "you ok mommy?" Now that I am about 16 weeks along, things seem to be on the upswing. Despite the sickness I have still gained a couple pounds and I am already being tempted by those loose and comfortable maternity clothes (although I know I will hate them in a few more months).

The most exciting thing so far has been our ultrasound last week. Branden and I were both so excited to find out that we are having a boy! Marina already loves to give kisses to "baby brother" in my tummy and we know they will be great little buddies. This little man is all boy- check out the picture below of him flexing his muscles. :)



And incase you don't believe that we are having a boy or that the ultrasound can be so sure so early, here's the "money shot."
