Some news, and waiting for more

Yeah... when I last blogged in September I was pretty determined to keep my blog up ... and now it's been 4 months! My old friend Mike, I've just seen, sort of apologized for slacking in keeping up his blog - and he last wrote 3 weeks ago! Well, I won't even try to promise that I'll update it really often, but here's to hoping it becomes a little more regular!

First, the big news (and yes, I'm terribly late in posting it): we are expecting our second child, with a due date of June 18 this year. (I'm betting on the 15th - it's not scientific, but if you want an explanation, I figure that 2nd children come a little earlier than first ones?)

Here's a picture of the little guy/girl at our ultrasound on December 14:


We're hoping to find out if it's a boy or girl at the next ultrasound next wednesday, Jan. 31! And are also looking forward to seeing the baby again - it's so much fun to see them moving and see that they are healthy! So we're feeling happy and blessed.
