Surprise!!

This year, Jason and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. We were strapped for time with the Holidays, so we took a quick trip into Chicago for dinner and hotel stay. We had planned to take a big trip in the summer when we had some more time. Well, those plans changed! We found out on the actual day of our anniversary, December 15th, that we are expecting again! It was completely unexpected, but we are getting excited for the new addition. I am due in August, so hopefully the summer won't be the hottest and most humid on record! We told the boys on the day before Christmas Eve by giving them "Most Awesome Big Brother" shirts. At first they didn't get it. We asked them why they both would be getting big brother shirts and they decided it was because Carson is a big brother to his stuffed animals. We asked them what would be another reason. It took awhile, but finally Aidan said....You're pregnant?! They are both excited and are hoping for a little sister. We asked them why a little sister and they both answered, "we already have a brother". Very logical. I can't argue with that! Carson has decided to call the baby Shrek for now. So we'll see if the nickname sticks when it is born!

On Christmas Eve, we had both boys wear their new shirts to see who would notice first. It took a while, but eventually, we shared our news with Jason's family. We told Heidi's family via Skype earlier in the day.

So far I have been feeling pretty good, just really tired. So hopefully as the first trimester passes, that will pass and I can get a little energy back to get through tax season.
