- No, we aren't finding out if it's a boy or a girl. We're excited either way and just want baby to be happy & healthy! (Gabriel wants a "real crying baby" and seems to be leaning towards a boy since he wants to name the baby 'Gabriel,' haha!)
- Baby is officially due November 8th, but seeing as Gabriel was due Oct 20th and arrived Nov 1st after a long drawn out unsuccessful induction leading to a c-section, we have no idea how accurate this will be!
- We're going to name the baby 'Gabrielle' if it's a girl. Just kidding!!
- This is actually pregnancy #5 for us. Baby #1, #3, & #4 are angels in heaven now. That's why it seems like there's such a big time gap between Gabe & this baby.
- Craig may say he wasn't interested in having more kids, but he sure did get excited when Gabe & I told him about this baby!! (Click here to go back a few entries for the video of it)
- It's been a whirlwind of a miserable pregnancy until a few weeks ago, which is so different than how I felt when pregnant with Gabe... Debilitating nausea & vomiting and thus rest & medication for me meant we turned down a lot of events and get-togethers that we wished we could have attended, and we didn't give the real reason why because we were still in the first trimester, so we apologize for that. Thankfully, when I hit 13 weeks along, the nausea mostly went away and I'm slightly less tired.
- We're officially 15 1/2 weeks along right now. Baby is supposedly the size of a navel orange right now, weighing in at roughly 2.5 ounces. I don't have much of a baby bump yet, which is fine by me. Here are baby's ultrasound pictures from April 23rd:

We're eager for our appointment this week. No more ultrasounds until mid-June, but at least we'll get to hear that cute little heart ticking away! We're excited to have this new addition to our family this fall!!
Thanks, as always, for your kind thoughts and prayers for our family.
