Piper's Secret Revealed!




That's right! We're expecting our second little monkey! I'm 7 weeks along and our due date has been set as February 8. I've been doing well. I've gotten sick once so far (knock on wood), but unfortunately have been feeling sick pretty frequently. I've also been extrememly exhausted, and I was the same way with Piper.

This morning was all my bloodwork. Our next appointment is on July 9th, which is when we will have our first ultrasound. This time we will be finding out the gender (not till 20 weeks though), so that we know if we'll need to buy new clothing or not and we can be better prepared than last time.

So that you're not confused, until we know, we will be calling the baby, "Baby C." The explaination for this, is that no matter the gender, the baby's name will start with a C. If it is a boy, his name will be Casey Alexander (which would have been Piper's name if she were a boy). If it is a girl, her name will be Charlee Anne.

Piper is excited. If you ask her where the baby is she'll come over and point at my belly. Every morning she comes into our room and when she climbs in bed she'll come over and pull up my shirt so she can see my belly. Then she'll wave at my belly and say "Hi baby." Then she kisses my belly and says "hug" as she lays across my stomach. She also says she wants a sister. Although, I don't think she really understands that part of it. She does understand that there's a baby in there though.

Well that's it for now, we'll keep you posted on everything!
