WILL IT BE A BOY OR GIRL???

It's still a bit early...but Nick and I are so excited to announce, we are expecting another baby! We are really excited to start this chapter in our lives and bring another child into the world. Sofie has been such an amazing kid! We LOVE experiencing life through her eyes- we are anxious to see her play the "big sister" role. I must admit, I'm a bit nervous and have the normal apprehensions about having a newborn again.  They are so fragile and vulnerable! I guess it's like riding a bike...once you've done it; it's not something you forget?


Nick and I have saved a lot of stuff from when Sofie was a baby...clothes, blankets and some of the other necessities. It's going to be a little strange though...having two car seats, two seat strollers and doing the whole bottle feeding and baby routine all over again. It's been really nice sleeping and being on our routine for the last two years! Raising a newborn is something that Nick and I have pushed to the back of our minds.

We haven't given any thoughts about wanting a boy or a girl...we just want a happy and healthy little one. We are planning on going with the same doctor that delivered Sofie- he was a wonderful doctor and really made us feel at ease! I am hoping and praying for the same easy going pregnancy.  When I was pregnant with Sofie, it was so easy and enjoyable (well at the end I just wanted it to be over)!

Nick and I really gave a lot of thought about having another child- it's something that has taken about a year to decide! We both really wanted to give Sofie a sibling. Someone to grow up with and share their secrets with or plot against me and Nick...ha ha ha! I grew up with two siblings and now really enjoy the relationship that I have with my sister and brother.  Thank you Kalani for being there for me and my family! I am really glad that you and the girls are back in town and will be a part of this pregnancy!
