the official announcement

so it is time to announce that we are expecting our second child. i'm not very far along, about 8 weeks, and feeling pretty gross so it's a little hard to be excited right now, but it will come. kind of crazy, i know. at least, i think i'm crazy every day when i wake up. was it planned, you ask? well, shawn and i weren't really thinking about it at all, and then the powers above pointed His loving finger at us and said "time to have another one". and then it was planned. make sense?

i want to apologize to all those who are finding out through the blogging world. i would have loved to call everyone whom i love so much, but between work, school, jack, teaching, and feeling yucky, i knew i would probably have the baby before i was able to call everyone. please don't hate me.

we feel very blessed to be able to have our children so easily because we know many loved ones who struggle. we love you all so much and we pray for you often.

So... whens the due date, what are you hopeing for - another boy or a girl and do you have any names pick out? Just wanted to ask the usual questions and get all the details. :o)

I'm so excited for you!! Really, I am. I'm sorry it's so hard right now. I want to bring you dinner sometime. Does food ever sound good or do you just gag at the sight of it? When's the best day for me to bring it to you?
