We are happy to announce that Susanna (and Sissy too) are going to be BIG SISTERS!! I had my first doctor appointment this past week and Miguel and I were able to see the newest bean via ultrasound. It is amazing how tiny they appear on the first ultrasound! The baby was wiggling around and we got to hear the heartbeat, which was 171 bpm. I am measuring right on schedule at 8w5d and the estimated due date is 1/15/10. We are sooo very excited and pray for a healthy pregnancy and 9 months. My next appointment is in 3 weeks and there will be many more to come! The ultrasound pictures are REALLY zoomed in so they are even harder to see than normal... but here is our newest addition
So far I have been feeling VERY tired. More than just sleepy tired, completely and totally drained. I have moments of queasiness, but nothing consistent. The only way I have been able to function lately is to nap when Susanna naps. She occasionally takes 2 naps a day (which is HEAVEN for me) but most days it is just one afternoon nap. Thank goodness she is a good napper, otherwise I would be in tears from exhaustion by the time Miguel gets home from work. Miguel has been a wonderful help too. Many nights and weekends he totally takes over and lets me rest, what a great daddy!!!
We told our parents the good news today (Saturday) when we had them over to participate in Susanna's Little Gym graduation and for brunch afterwards. Susanna was a STAR at her final performances, showed off all her gym skills, and even got a medal during the award ceremony. It is soo much fun to watch her and she really loved showing off to her grandparents!
After we had everyone to our house for brunch and Susanna changed into her "I am a Big Sister" shirt.
Our plan was to see who noticed her shirt first but NOBODY NOTICED!!! She had it on for over an hour and nothing! Finally my dad was getting ready to go and I told him he couldn't leave until he read her shirt. FINALLY everyone caught on and were very excited and happy! We are so happy to be able to share the news with everyone now :)
Daddy and Susanna talked about being a BIG SISTER today and Susanna has agreed to share her toys and stuffed animals... we will see!

Congrats!!! That is exactly how we told our parents about #2 and had the same results! It took FOREVER for anyone to notice and when they did they thought it was just a shirt we got Demi for being the dogs big sister. Congrats again!! Rest up now....life with 2 is non-stop, but oh so worth it :)
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am sure Susanna will be an AWESOME big sister. In the meantime, if ever you need it, we'd love to have Susanna come over and play when you have any of your many appointments. Can't wait to meet the new little bean! I'm sure this pregnancy will fly by as compared to the first one ;}
Congratulations!! Maybe the new baby will hold on to be born on her mother's birthday!!
I HOPE THAT THE NEW BABY IS BORN WITHIN YOUR BIRTHDAY WEEKS JESS SO YOU HAVE TO SHARE YOUR BIRTHDAY THUNDER AS WELL JUST LIKE SUSANNA STEALS MY BIRTHDAY THUNDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, Congratulations!!!! I'm so excited for you all. You are so sneaky. How can you manage to keep suck a big secret so long. Hooray for Susanna and I'm a little worried for Sissy she just keeps moving further on down the line. Best wishes for a smooth 2nd pregnancy.
Congratulations!
I know that this is such an exciting time for you! Lots of prayers coming your way. I am always here. Just call to cry, fuss or if you EVER need help! Love you all!
