Pregnancy Update

Today I'm 15 weeks and it's true what they say, the second time around goes by much faster! Matt and I are so excited to be expecting baby #2 but a little nervous too. For those of you who are counting, yes, I was pregnant in both of my sister's weddings. 7 months in Darla's and 11 weeks in Corrie's. Luckily at Corrie's wedding no one cornered me in the buffet line and shamlessly rubbed my belly while I was holding a plate of food.

You may remember that while I was pregnant with Adelyn I received weekly emails comparing the baby to produce. I signed up for those again and this week the baby is an apple. I've been surprised by how different my pregnancy symptoms have been this time around and my cheif complaint of late has been lower back pain. Adelyn has been very sypmathetic to my cause though and eats crackers in bed with me whenever I want. She also sweetly pats me randomly throughout the day and says "I sorry you don't feel good!"

She is really excited about being a big sister. When we first told her we would ask "Adelyn, do you want to be a big sister?" and she would respond "no, I be da wittle sister." But now she's decided that she would like to be the big sister. And if you ask her if she thinks the baby will be a boy or a girl she says "just a baby". Matt on the other hand is quite confident that it will be a girl and after listening to the heart beat my doctor predicted a boy. So we'll see...

Here is a picture of Baby Lilly #2 right around 13 weeks. The face isn't very clear because the baby had their hand right up next to it but I'm prediticing the same nose as Adelyn.

O Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long ago.
