Emmie is going to be a BIG SISTER!! Jon and I announced on Sunday for Mother's Day that we are expecting our second baby in December! We are so grateful and excited. I am almost 3 months along and finally getting over the saltine cracker/ramon noodle stage (luckily this pregnancy it wasn't mac n cheese and pork n beans...yuck!) I felt much better during morning sickness than with Em. That is why I could keep it a secret until now. I guess according to some people in our families, it wasn't a secret at all because of the noticed drop in my energy level and the little "belly bump" that has showed up way earlier this time around. I was also proud of Em for keeping the secret too. She learned to pat my belly and say "baby" but she never did this around other people.
I wrapped up a Christmas stocking for my mom to open on Mother's Day. It is special to me that my baby is due in December (however, the 3rd of December is VERY close to November and I will probably have my baby early). But for now, I can be excited that my baby might share my own birthday month. My mom brought me home from the hospital in a Christmas stocking when I was born. And yes, Jon, I do mention this "unique fact" about myself pretty much every time I get the chance!! I love it. I was so happy to tell my mom and my sweet mother-in-law. They are both my greatest mentors as mothers and I seriously couldn't be blessed with greater examples and also greater friends who offer so much comfort, support, and babysitting. We love you Moms!!The note that went along with the stocking:
YEAH for the new baby!!

How wonderful!! Reading this post brought back fun memories for me because we announced our 2nd baby on Mother's Day last year because we too were having an early December baby--he came on December 8th!
Congratulations and Emmeline is going to be a darling big sister!
I was waiting for you to post something on your blog because I had a picture of you and the stocking on mother's day I wanted to post on mine, but I wasn't sure if you were telling other people yet. Congrats again, we are soooo excited!
Yeah! I am glad you have felt better this pregnancy...that makes it so so much nicer.
