Baby #2

Hi all! I have been working a lot lately so our blog has been paying the price. We have good news! We are expecting baby #2(for those of you that don't already know that)!! We are due June 6th, 2009. So far everything is looking good, except for my bruised up belly. Let me catch all of you up on what's going on.

Back in May we saw a specialist to see if we could find out why I was having miscarriages. After a few tests we found out that some of my blood work came back abnormal. The tests had to do with blood clotting....not sure exactly what it was called. Some nurse I am huh? Anyway as soon as I was pregnant I started on a couple of medicines, one of those a daily injection, it's called Lovenox(blood thinner). I give it to myself every morning and that's why the bruised belly. It's going pretty well actually. I also take a low dose Aspirin.
We have had 3 ultrasounds and all has looked good. I have been released back to my regular OB doctor and we see him again in a couple of weeks. We feel very blessed to have made it this far and are looking forward to June. We think Chase will be one fun big brother. We are working on getting him into a new room and a big boy bed soon.

I hope to keep everyone updated...if I could quit working so much! Thank you to all who have been praying for us during this very difficult but exciting time. We really appreciate it! Here's the first belly shot. I'm starting to pop out a little, not sure how much of that belly is all the food I ate over Thanksgiving and how much is actually baby!
