We want to clear any residual confusion about our little announcement yesterday:
That really was our sonogram pic up on Facebook, it really was taken on Feb 9, '12, and we really are expecting a baby! We found out on New Year's Day and it was so hard to keep that news to ourselves! We have made it safely through four months already. (I can hardly believe it!) My due date is September 7th.
The shadow over our happiness is that this is our second baby. We lost our first baby around 10 weeks of pregnancy, almost two years ago. I have spent every day with this baby remembering that it should not be our firstborn, that I should have a 14 month old causing chaos right now. Yet I am so thankful for a second gift of life and for the little milestones we continue to reach, reassuring me that history does not have to repeat itself.
We will be able to update everyone again soon after our next appointment in about a week. I'm looking forward to more pictures!
So that was our little "prank." We thought it was funny and hopefully you did too.
