Stenger Baby #2

On top of all the changes we are going through lately with moving into the house, etc. we decided to impose one more change by adding another baby to the mix! That's right - we are expecting #2 around November 2nd! That puts me at 15 weeks tomorrow! Things are going well so far. We had a little scare around week 11 and had to go to the ER, but everything turned out to be fine. I have a common situation where there is a blood clot between the placenta and the uterus, that will eventually go away. I was planning on flying to Panama City to meet up with my sister-in-law Sarah and her husband Charlie, but because of the scare, the doctor did not permit me to travel that weekend. I was totally bummed as this trip had been planned for a while and I was looking forward to relaxing on the beach with them and Karmann. Kris was going to finish a few things at the house since we would be out of his way, but of course that didn't happen either. But, regardless, I was glad that the baby was okay, and taking a break wasn't so bad either.

My belly is growing really fast, it seems, as I am already busting out of my normal clothes. I really haven't had any morning sickness (thank goodness) and pretty much things seem to be about like they were last time. That makes me believe its a girl again, but who knows! We are not planning on finding out again this time. We loved the surprise last time, so we figure we will do it again.

With everything going on, I haven't been taking photos of my belly, but I will post something sometime soon - or you may already notice the baby bump in some photos from the last few posts.

Karmann doesn't know what is going on yet. When we ask her if she wants a brother or a sister, she consistently says "sister" which is adorable! All I ask is that our children at least get along and love each other growing up. And, I hope some of Karmann's angelic qualities come through this child as well! Keeping my fingers crossed!!!
