Dylan's gonna be a.....

We are so excited to announce that Dylan will officially be a big brother October 29! He and his brother or sister will be 26 months apart. We are excited that they will be close in age! We told our parents soon after we found out, and let the rest of the world in on the secret when I was 9 weeks along. It is very TRUE that you show A LOT quicker the second time around! I didn't feel like I had much of a pudgy belly until 16 weeks or so with Dylan and I noticed major changes with this baby at 9 weeks! Dylan is very compassionate towards little ones. He is concerned when they cry, and he wants to be close to them. Hopefully, this will continue with his new sibling! I have not felt good at all this go around. I was nauseous all day with Dylan and have had those same symptoms with this baby. I also wake up in the middle of the night with nausea which is new, and not so fun, but oh so worth it. At our 12 week appointment, the baby was healthy with a heartbeat of 161 and we saw him/her wiggling around! We were so thankful to God for blessing us with Dylan, and He continues to amaze us even more with this blessing on the way!
