Number Two

I hereby break my rather lengthy silence to announce:

We are expecting our second child, late April or early May! We're very excited, especially our son, who will be 4 in March: he keeps shoving his face in my wife's belly and talking to the baby through her bellybutton!

Everything is going well, apart from morning sickness - more than she'd hoped, but less than last time. She's had a couple of ultrasounds now, and the baby is doing great, no signs of any problems, so a good deal of tension has been lifted.

The ultrasound tech on Tuesday also told us, with an "I can't be 100% certain", that she thinks it's a girl... wow! This is going to be very different for us, after Alexander!

Did I mention that we're all very excited?

Well. Line Dancing Rodents to you, then. We're looking forward to bringing a wee one from the hospital this Christmas ourselves.

That's great news, glad to hear everything is looking positive.

I've been following Karen's Blog, and the rollercoaster ride.

I sincerely wish you guys the best, and all our prayers are with you, Karen and Alexander.

Congratulations again, Michael and Karen (and Alexander and Skitz!) Lisa and I wish you nothing but the best for your new baking bun. Oh, and toss in some holiday cheer, for good measure!
