Baby 2 Backstory

This is long so feel free to skip if you aren't interested! I have pictures below!  So it all started the weekend in March that we went to Garvan Gardens and the races.  When we were coming home that night, I just did not feel right and was extremely carsick on the way down and the way back.  Birc and I both joked that maybe I was pregnant.  But then the next morning (St. Patrick's Day, Anna and Aaron's anniversary!) we decided we better take a test so we would know.  I honestly had no inkling or thought that I was pregnant but Birc convinced me to take a test so we did and low and behold it said "Pregnant" Oh my! Surprise surprise!! So after getting on google and figuring out how far along I might be (what did people do before the internet??) we decided we would wait a bit to tell people.  Then Savannah got sick sick sick.  And Birc caught it.  And then I caught it.  And it went into my ears and my throat and my chest and you might remember me getting really sick and missing 3 days of work at the end of March??  Well I called my doctors and they all said, sorry you can't take anything, then all of a sudden my ears started screaming at me with extreme pain one Friday night and I called my God-sent brother-in-law and asked him to look in my ears.  So he did and sure enough, I had an ear infection and he asked what antibiotics I had taken recently and then I said "I can't take any antibiotics! I'm pregnant!" and Anna was there too (Birc was out of town) and she squealed and Aaron's jaw dropped. They were both thrilled! :) Continuing on (he got me some numbing drops and I held hot pads and hot wash cloths on my ear until it unstopped and the pain subsided) they kept the secret, and then Easter was around the corner. Birc and I had already planned to host a family lunch (3rd annual!) for both families and that is when we told them about Savannah a few years back, so we thought it was only right that we tell them about the next grandbaby on Easter again!

You probably can't see my apron but it has a picture of a bun in the oven and it says "There's a bun in the oven! Cook about nine months, will be ready mid-November!" I just came out in it and let everyone slowly read and figure it out. :) Grandad was first to see!

Here are some weekly pics we've been taking...

So I was wanting a "big sis" shirt for Savannah,so I searched on etsy but they are so pricey and I knew I could make one myself so I did.  Here are the ones I modeled it after:

And here's Savannah shirt made by yours truly! I loved it and she looks so cute it in (more pics below!) It cost me a whopping $6 for the shirt and all the letter fabric I had laying around from other projects as well as the buttons and the fusible iron stuff.  Then I put a decorative stitch all around the letters.  

Here we are this morning taking a family pic!

I took Savannah to her class today in this and that is how I told her teachers I was pregnant! It was fun

Savannah, a baby is coming! Can you share your toys???

No??? With a foot-stomping-tantrum and everything?? Oh my...

Yes you were just stomping those feet.

But I meant to stomp them over there Mama.

and I'm NOT sharing my toys!

After begging and begging for a smile, I was running too late to push anymore so we took a selfie and I said, 'say cheese and show me your smile!' and this is what she did. :) Fake smile all the way! But I'll take it over any of the above pictures! Hah!

I think that brings everybody up to speed!
