One morning about three months ago at 1:30 am, I was sitting in my recliner feeding Sami when I had the very distinct impression that I was pregnant. I've had this feeling before over the years, but this impression was so strong that I went to the calendar at the early morning hour and started counting days. It was possible. So I sent Jonathan to Walgreen's during his lunch break to buy a pregnancy test (there was a time when I bought them bulk from the Internet, but those days are past, gratefully). And the result was an instant positive!
The second baby Olsen is on its way! I was really nervous at first...nervous that I would miscarry again, and even more nervous that I wouldn't be a good mother to two children so young. But my Mom reassured me that women do it all the time, in fact she had three kids in three years, bless her heart! We are now 15 weeks along and are so excited. This next baby is coming around December 18th. December is a great month for us!!
This ultrasound was taken at 13 weeks. We just want a healthy baby, it doesn't matter if it's a boy or girl. But Jonathan and I both agree that it would be so fun for Sami to have a little sister. For us, this pregnancy is even more evidence that Samantha belongs in our home. Our family needs her. I am so glad that she will have a sibling to play with and grow up with. In fact, these two are going to share a lot of the same experiences, and I am glad that they will have each other.
