Andy and Laura plus ANOTHER one :)

This post was written 10/13/13.  I love keeping family and friends connected to our little family through the blog but ultimately this serves as a better way for me to keep a little babybook/memory book for us so I went ahead and posted :)

I'm sure half the world knows by now but our little family of 3 will soon be expanding to 4!! So hard to believe but we could not be happier!

I don't have a very exciting story about how I told Andy this time as I thought the likelihood of me being pregnant was about zero.  But he had been asking me to take a pregnancy test so I did one night and after waiting the 3 minutes he hears an 'oh my god' from the bathroom. ha!  Obviously we were thrilled and had planned on keeping it a secret from our families at least until the first ultrasound.  Well then I had some worrisome symptoms so of course called my favorite ob/gyn for some advice.  And then Andy and I have a hard time keeping our mouths shut so we told Olivia (who surprisingly was the best person at keeping a secret?!).  Dad agreed to do an ultrasound at 7 weeks to look for a heartbeat as I wasn't supposed to be seen at UK until 8.5.  Of course OJ wanted to come so she tells Mom, 'I'm going to be late for practice tonight' and when Mom questions why she says, 'Um, bc Laura is pregnant.' I'm sure Mom was perplexed by that but I was just too worried about everything to plan a more fun reveal :)  Anyhoo, it took him a minute but we finally saw the beautiful little flicker of a heartbeat at 143 bpm!!  We told our siblings the next day by letting Harper run around in her 'big sis' shirt and also facetimed Andy's parents to show them her cute little message!

My due date is May 15th so this baby and Harper will be around 22 months apart.  Life is going to be crazy but we are so thankful for both of our beautiful little babies!!
