Coming This September: A New Baby!
For those of you who have been wondering why Susanne has been getting sick so much over the last month that my mother-in-law has been staying with us to look after Kayleigh, I might as well spill the beans now. Susanne is pregnant again, due at the end of September!
This Monday was the beginning of her second trimester. That means she's 13 weeks along. We've known for almost two months but haven't advertised it too much given our history with difficult pregnancies. We were actually getting ready to shell out the bucks to begin IVF treatment when we found out she was pregnant. Talk about a pleasant surprise! Unfortunately, the surprise came with extreme morning sickness - so much so that Susanne lost over 15 pounds and had to be put on an IV and a medicine pump. The IV came out last month, and yesterday she removed the pump, so for the first time in six weeks, she's now wireless and untethered. She'll still have to take anti-nausea meds for a while longer, but the worst is over.
We're absolutely thrilled to be expecting another baby, and the timing couldn't be better, as we're in the process of buying a house in Silver Spring. We just accepted the seller's terms and are sending in a home inspector next week. If all goes well, we'll close the deal on April 28. Our second baby, our first home - talk about a momentous year! :-) -andy
