Oh Baby It's a Girl!

We are so excited to announce that we baby #2 is going to be a little GIRL! Both BJ and I had a feeling this one would be a girl, but it's official. She looked very good on the ultrasound, everything they could check-checked out A-Ok. Such a relief after a bit of a stressful first trimester.

This pregnancy has also been a little different to say the least. I have been quite a bit more sick with this girl than with Mitch. I expected to be sick with Mitch and when I wasn't I didn't expect to be sick with this one. Boy was I wrong. But at 18 wks, I am happy to say that other than being tired, I am finally coming back to the land of the living!

Mitch and I have been staying busy day to day, but BJ just finished a 2wk 737 type rating course in Dallas. This is just some extra higher learning to keep in our back pocket for later. I must say, it's been nice having BJ around for the past couple of months. Last year and the deployment were very hard, but we've had a nice stretch of time to be a family!

Mitch is such a helper these days, and VERY independent. I don't know where he gets it from! Both BJ and I are so laid back. OK, so the apple didn't fall very far from the tree. But Mitch likes to help with everything and do pretty much everything for himself! This is awesome, although time consuming when we're in a crunch. He's also potty training, and so far doing pretty well with that.

Our next adventure is swim lessons. We are taking a 5 wk survival swimming class that will teach him how to swim and float by himself if he ever fell in the water. We'll keep you posted on that one!

Congratulations on the girl! Glad to hear you're feeling better. I've heard that girl pregnancies are harder on the mama. Like your firt one, my pregnancy was great, too. Hope the rest of it flies by! Mitch is getting so big! He looks just like John in that first picture. Hope y'all continue to do well!
