Backblog: Project 2!

Well, as many of you know who keep up with Matt and I on Facebook or in the real world, our other big project these days is RODDY BABY 2!

I was very sick with this pregnancy and was on the couch from the end of August through most of October with nausea, exhaustion, and headaches. My wonderful mother-in-law took Avonlea most mornings so she could have some time to play outside of the house, but it was a long and challenging season for all of us. Hence, not a lot of fun family photos, creative endeavors, or delicious meals. :)

Despite all of that, we couldn't be happier with the news of a new addition to our family. And a few days before Thanksgiving, we found out that we're having a BOY!! Our family feels complete.

I'm 21 weeks along now (almost 5 months) and baby is due on April 24. (That's two days after Matt's birthday, and the day after St. George's day--patron saint of England and slayer of a dragon!). I'm growing way quicker than I did with Avonlea and feeling a bit monstrous myself, but generally feeling much better than the first half of my pregnancy and getting excited to start making way for another life amidst ours.


When I found out I was pregnant, I picked up these two little things for him. They are his only possessions at the moment, but the benefit of having a big sister is that he has lots of things to inherit from her, minus all the pink clothes.

Can't wait to meet this little guy, and when we have a named picked out, we'll let you know. If it goes anything the way things did with Avonlea, it might be two weeks after he's born. :)
