Guess what??!!
Baby 2 is on their way!
We found out for sure a month ago on Thursday morning, February 11th. We basically knew since Christina was late, but it's nice to know for sure. The funny thing is that she was pretty sure around the 4th because she's always at the very beginning of the month so she thought she could just take a $1 store test to confirm her suspicions. Well that test came out negative. Then by Monday the 8th we were even more sure so we tried another $1 test and it came out negative again! So on Wednesday when we picked up Carter from Dan & Analise we told them that we probably were, but that we needed to get a good test to give us an official answer and put us at ease. They just happened to have an extra one from when they found out they were months ago. Finally, a positive answer! We're both super excited and scared to have another kid. We feel like our hands and hearts are full with Carter, but we're ready for the next step and feel that it is the right time for our family. We also think Carter will be a great big brother. If all goes well, Baby 2 will be here around October 9th!

**We wanted to shout it form the roof tops when we found out, but things were extra crazy at the time. We don't believe in waiting to tell everyone because we're too excited to keep it quiet. With Carter we made an extra effort to call and tell everyone since it was our first, but this month has been a bit busy so sorry if this is the first you're hearing about it. We love you all and we'll you keep you updated on the progress. :-)

Woo-hoo!!!! Congratulations!! That's so awesome--our kids will be even closer in age. And this after I found out that our baby #2 will have 3 cousins his age on Danny's side, Leah Gehmlich on my side and now another. Yippee! So happy for you!
