Baby #2

In mid-April (I think it was April 22), Cole and I found out we were expecting baby #2 – due January 2!  We were so excited and couldn’t wait to become a family of four.  We waited until we were out of the first trimester to say much to Lee about it.  He is very talkative and we didn’t want him announcing it to the world quite yet.  We told our families around 10 weeks and this is how we did it:

Lee was excited to find out he was going to be a big brother, although, I know it was all very confusing to him at first.  When we very first asked him if he knew what was in mommy’s tummy, he replied “ducks”.  We got some good laughs out of that!  Also, when we would ask him if he was having a baby brother or baby sister he always said baby sister.  It made me think we might be having a girl (like he had some kind of insight – ha!)  Also, I felt very different with this pregnancy than with Lee.  At our 20 week appointment, in Mid-August, we found out that we were going to be blessed with another little boy.  We were so excited that Lee was going to have a best buddy and we knew that God had picked out this sweet little boy for us to raise – what a wonderful gift!

It’s a boy!

We came home after our appointment and told Lee he was going to have a little brother.  We gave him a cupcake with blue icing and showed him the sonogram pictures and videos.  Then, we had him facetime our parents to tell them the news.  He then proceeded to tell them he was having a “baby sister”….we had to quickly interject and tell them it was actually a baby brother!  We ended up having to work with Lee for a while to help him understand that we were having another little boy.  So funny!
