We just made the announcement that we are having our 2nd baby. I am 19 wks pregnant and we will find out in a week and a half what we are having. We did not tell anyone, not even our families until recently. The reason we did this is because we wanted to do an experiment. We wanted to see how long it would take people to ask and when they did ask if we could fool them into thinking I was just eating too much and not working out. Well, once I started to get a little lumpy the looks started. The kids at school were even whispering amongst themselves, but no one would ask me. As the weeks went by, I got bigger and bigger. Finally people starting asking, but they weren't asking me. They asked Spencer when I wasn't there. He did get a few people with the whole gaining weight and they back pedaled real fast on the inquiry. He told them before the conversation was over that I was pregnant, but it was funny to see their reactions when they thought they had made a false statement about me being pregnant. The kids at school have gotten braver and finally one 6th grader asked. When she did ask, she said it so fast that all I caught was pregnant at the end. I didn't have the heart to tease them so I told them yes. I had one other student ask if she could ask me a question without getting in trouble and I told her yes and she asked if I was pregnant. Once those two girls knew, it seemed like every student knew. So, the result of the experiment is that people will not ask you if you are pregnant until it is really obvious or they have confirmed it with someone else. Too many people have told me they have asked someone only to have them say they weren't. So, they are more careful now about asking.
Anyways, we are really excited for this baby and are nervous at the same time. We are so use to only having to deal with one child. We tried to plan this pregnancy a little better and make sure that I am out for the summer from school. The baby is due June 14th and school gets out June 5th. We figure if the baby comes two weeks early like Tarren did, it will still put us on the last week of school. So, either way it isn't bad. I had a c-section with Tarren and I am hoping to have a vbac with this one. We will see.
That is our exciting news for now!
