Peeing on sticks...

So I recently felt the urge to pee on a stick.  Not just a regular stick, though, a special stick that then turns colors! Want to know what happened? Well, check out the shot below!



I'd been having trouble sleeping (this is usually not a problem for me) and when I was sleeping, I was having strange dreams. So I thought I might be pregnant. Sure enough, that little test came back positive! Though if you look closely you'll see that the test line on the left is slightly fainter than the stripe on the right that tells you the test is working. Ian wanted to wait a few days before deciding we were pregnant but I explained how these little tests work and he seemed to agree that we were, in deed, expecting our second child. Since this was planned (as much as anything with children can be "planned") we're very excited!

We had an ultrasound this past Friday to check the date and it looks like May 27th, 2009 is when we're expecting our new arrival. Here is the all-exciting shot from the ultrasound. The little peanut is standing on it's head.



I added a "ticker" to the blog so you can watch the progress of this little one. We're hoping to find out the gender when we have our 20-week ultrasound assuming he/she cooperates (Aiden didn't and we only found out he was a boy when we went back to get better pictures of his heart).  So sometime in January we should have an opportunity to find out if Aiden will have a little sister or a little brother!
