Our 2nd March 5th Surprise!

I haven't felt like blogging for awhile and this is the reason why...



On the morning of March 5th 2007, we received the wonderful news that we had a daughter waiting for us in China. On the morning of March 5th 2008, we discovered that we had a child waiting for us in the womb. The first had been anticipated for 2 years, the second was an absolute surprise.
The video above was just taken today after we went for an ultrasound yesterday and our doctor thought she saw twins! We had to get a different ultrasound today to get a better picture so we could find out for sure. There is thankfully only one. Twins would have been cool, but a lot more difficult. This baby is only 9 weeks old, but is already making life very difficult for its mama! I have been sick for three weeks. I'm starting to feel a little better, but that's not saying much. Jade has been such a sweet little girl! We are also in the middle of a major remodel down stairs. Our kitchen, family room, and mud room are completely gutted. We are basically living upstairs. Jade is not able to run around as much and I definitely have been too sick to take her outside although the wonderful Ohio spring rains have been pretty consistent for the past several weeks anyway. Anyway, I guess it's a good time to not have a kitchen because I couldn't handle cooking right now anyway. Matt, of course, has been the best husband ever! He works hard all day, comes home and gets some kind of food together for dinner, plays with Jade and puts her to bed. And does some laundry too! How blessed am I! Anyway, my due date is October 27th. I guess there is no other info about this right now.
Here is a cute video of Jade from a couple of months ago. She really likes all of her musical instruments! She has to carry her breath mints so she has fresh breath blowing into her harmonica!
