Announcement!

For those of my friends and family who have not already heard... We are expecting again! I'm only about 6 weeks along and I was going to wait until I was much further to announce it, but Loren has been pretty excited about telling people. Add to that the fact that I am already getting really sick, and I guess it just wasn't meant to stay a secret for long. :) I haven't been to the doctor yet, but my due date (according to a calculator online) is Valentine's Day 2010!

Ethan has already been showing us that he's excited to be a big brother. When someone is upset he will go up to them and softly rub their cheek while quietly saying "shh, shh" to them. When I peeked in on him during Nursery on Sunday he had a baby doll and was rocking it.

I have the ambitious goal of getting him potty trained before the new baby comes. I don't think it's unrealistic, it's just going to take some extra effort on my part. He uses the toilet really well as long as I remember to have him use it.

We have had lots of people ask if we want a boy or a girl. Honestly, from a practical view, I'd prefer a boy: I already have the stuff and I would know what I'm getting in to. Other than that though, I don't really care either way!

I appologize for not posting much(at all) lately, but if I get sick and/or and am on bedrest I most likely will be making up for a lot of lost time!
