The Announcement

Well, for those of you that we don’t see very often, we have some big news…baby #2 is on the way!

It’s a boy! Sara is 21 weeks. Evie has periods of more and less excitement. She wants to buy her “baby brudder” everything. She just walks through the story saying he’ll need socks, mittens, dresses, boots for in the rain, toys…she even wanted to buy scissors to cut her baby brudder’s tags off his new pajamas.

Sara hasn’t been as sick as last time, but she’s been plenty of sick. The most traumatizing thing of the pregnancy so far is when Sara threw up in Evie’s sand bucket. Evie was inconsolable.

We asked Evie what she would name the baby, and she decided on “Refrigerator Baby”. Since then we’ve asked her a few times, and she’s always stuck with it.

So far, Nathan had the worst reaction – when I told him, the first thing he said was “Oh no!” (I told you I wouldn’t let you forget that)

I really can’t conceive of how we will have the time for 2 kids. It seems like we barely have time for 1! But people manage it I guess, so I guess it all works out.

By the way, anybody that was previously under instructions not to tell anybody, the banΒ is now officially lifted.

  1. You may feel a little guilt at first having to split your time between 2 kids (I certainly did at first), but it all works out. Unless you’re mean and play favorites. πŸ™‚

  2. The “Oh no” was out of sheer suprise and did not mean anything bad. It was also followed by a congratulations, I think. Just trying to be clear.

    Also think about the name I suggested…
