I realize it's been a long time since I've blogged. Like, almost 10 months long time. Obviously, a lot has happened in those 10 months. Ella has learned to walk, talk (about 15-20 words), she has gotten curly hair and she turned one years old (can you believe it!?!). She's running all over the place, she loves reading, animals and swimming, and she's even recently started dancing.
We recently received some news we thought was worth sharing with everyone.... we are expecting our second little miracle December 14th. Our 12 week ultrasound was Friday, June 1. That ultrasound is still my favorite one. You get to see the whole baby on the screen, watch them move for the first time, and hear their heartbeat for the first time. This baby was so cooperative in the beginning, allowing the technician to get all the measurements. Then all of the sudden he (and yes, I really do think it's a boy this time!) did a flip! It was SO awesome! Then he started doing baby crunches and almost looked like he was reclining and relaxing! Such a fun day... I can't wait until the end of July when we get to see him again via ultrasound. And I believe this time we won't keep everyone in suspense until December! :)
Pretty much every one I have told that we are expecting has been shocked by this news, including Chris and myself. We weren't exactly trying to have another baby, we just placed every thing in God's hands and wah-lah! Within a month and a half of Ella's first birthday, we had conceived again! I always wanted a more than one child and I always wanted them close together. Who knew that I would have exactly what I wanted? I am honestly adjusting to being pregnant again, which is strange because I seem to have great pregnancies. But I was just getting used to being a non-nursing mother who could finally fit into her old clothes! Thankfully we have 6 more months to get everything ready and get Ella healthy.
For those who don't know, Ella's being having quite a few ear infections. Tomorrow she's having tubes put in her ears and her adenoids removed. I'm nervous about it, obviously, but at this point I'm more anxious. I just want my baby healthy!
So keep all of us Figs in your thoughts and prayers, as we have a lot going on! And praise him for all our blessings! We miss you all and hope to see you soon!
