Jim's bad news, my good news: NOT TWINS

Well, it's true. We're expecting a baby! I'm due the first week in September. Jim was hoping for twins, but there's just one healthy little heartbeat.

We are obviously very thrilled, and a little on edge as we remember those sleepless nights and wonder how in the heck are we supposed to survive it with a toddler added to the mix.

Luke doesn't fully comprehend...when I told him he was going to be a big brother he said, "And you can be the big sister." But, then he does something that makes me think he understands. When I told him there was a baby growing in my belly he started walking like a pregnant lady with his hands his stomach.

As luck would have it, I will be 7 months pregnant at my 20 year high school reunion. So, not only will I not be able to go on a crash diet to be svelt I also won't be able to sip a nice glass of wine to help the evening go by easier. Darn it all.

And, less than 2 months after Baby Bell arrives, Luke and I are going to be in a wedding. I had to guess my post pardum measurements for the bridesmade dress!

Keep Jim in your thoughts....he left this morning on the first flight out to TN. He is spending the week with our dear friend Angie who's father passed away.
