New Babe

This is the 8 week ultrasound from both our kiddies. Owen was way cuter.

Well, it's not news that we have a super cute new babe on the way. I can't wait to snuggle the heck out of her. By the way we find out in a monthish if it is a she. I sorta feel like it is a girl but, I also thought Owen was a girl so who really knows.
This pregnancy feels 100x different than Owens (hence why i'm thinking girl..).

I am the nosiest person in the world and when someone announces there pregnancy I want to know: Was it on purpose, or a surprise? How long did you try? When did you find out? How did you tell your husband? Your parents? your friends and family? What is your due date? How many weeks are you? blah, blah, blah. Some of those questions come off as rude so I *TRY* not to ask them all, and it can be really overwhelming so again, I *TRY* not to ask them all.
Well, in case you are super duper nosy here I am  answering all these questions about myself.

This was totally on purpose!! We tried for a year to get pregnant. Owen is a stubborn guy, so I think this one must be stubborn too! I found out in October when I was 3-4 weeks pregnant, Dave had just left on a camping trip so I had this super exciting news that I wanted to scream from my roof. But, I had to wait. whomp, whomp. But, I had time to think about HOW I was going to break the great news, instead of running out of the bathroom, test in hand, probably crying too much to make real words. You know, I had time to process it, and think about it! I made Owen a really cute shirt, he helped me design it, I made a beautiful card and taped a pregnancy test in it, and we had a cake to celebrate ( I really wanted it to say "congratulations on getting me pregnant", but I figured I had enough 'stuff').
I sent our parents a cute little decorated box with a onesie I made, a diaper, socks, etc. and then I made a cute sign to take alone with us to our family picture session.

I am due July 2nd, and hoping to stay pregnant for 40-42 weeks (remind me of this at 38 weeks), I will not allow an induction unless it is medically necessary like last time. I am eating my placenta. Okay that sounds gross, but really I am. I am encapsulating it myself, and super excited about it and the benefits it has. I am going to attempt to cloth diaper..I only have two cloth diapers so far, soooo..hopefully they will give me an idea about how much I actually like it. I am also trying SO hard to exclusively breast feed, it didn't work that well with Owen so I am hoping between all the knowledge I have now (yeah, right!) and phone calls to family, and some ladies in my ward, that I will get the hang of it. People do it all the time, so I should be able to figure it out right?

"I once was just 1 and then I found you.. then 'I' became 'we' and 'we' became 2. Nine months of waiting.. our 'we' became 3 such a great family were you, him, and me. Now he's getting tall and we wanted one more, so guess what our 'we' is soon to be 4."

Obviously I couldn't get a clean picture ;)
