I hadn't announced it yet, because given the way things have kind of gone for us lately, I'm a bit skittish. However, I wanted to officially announce that Heidi and I are expecting again. We'd been trying for a few months, and things finally came together for us a few weeks ago. Heidi is already experiencing morning sickness, which actually seems to be all-day sickness for her. Oh, and the best part is how Heidi told me. She called me from the guard station at my office to say I needed to come get her. Now, I'm already worried because why on Earth would she come to my office? I go down to get her, and she has Owen dressed like this:
Quite a surprise, but a good one. I'm getting more excited now, though, as we talk more about the baby. Heidi is convinced that it's twins, which would be fitting, I guess. We have a different ground rule for this one, too; we're not going to know if it's a boy or a girl until it's born. We decided we don't want to know, so there's no disappointment. We were hoping initially that Owen would be a girl, and it was a bit hard to take at first to find that he wasn't. Not that we're at all unhappy with him, of course, but you parents out there might know how that sort of thing can be. You kind of get your hopes up, thinking how nice it would be...then it doesn't go that way for you. We want to avoid that situation altogether, this time. I think that this time, our expectations and hopes are different, anyway; this time I think we'll definitely be happy either way. We've been working on baby names, because we're trying to name the baby somehow after Heidi's family (Owen got names from my family, so it's only fair to go the other way for this one.) We have some ideas, but it's been difficult to decide so far. Heidi's sister Dari has been very helpful in providing some positive direction for this endeavor.
Heidi's first post-test check is tomorrow, in fact, to see how things are going; I'll provide an update then. Thanks for reading along.
