New News

We just wanted to share an exciting secret with you all:


Yup, we're expecting Baby Carter #3!

How am I feeling? I'm feeling better. The lack of blogging has been in large part to me feeling a little nauseous, a little hormonally depressed, & a lot tired. But the last week I've been feeling semi-alive again- FINALLY!

When am I due? I'm about 18 weeks along, so the end of February. I've learned that I don't do well with due dates. They make me antsy & a little crazy. So, then end-ish of February it is!

Is it a boy or a girl? We don't have that ultrasound until next week but we're actually not going to find out this time. We have one of each, stuff for either, & we're happy to wait and see.

We're ecstatic & cannot wait for this newest addition to the Carter Clan!

P.S. This news might also explain a couple posts over the past few months- like about baby blankets, potential baby names, & food cravings.

Eva Lavelle said...

Wonderful and exciting news!!! Hope your lack of energy and queasy feelings pass soon...

lisa said...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! SO excited for you lady!! I'm sorry you've been feeling so awful, (I can relate on every single symptom/side effect you mentioned, hence MY lack of blog posts), but I'm so stinking excited for you!! The Carter family is a great one to get sent to, so that'll be a lucky little one. (And, ps, I know people do this all the time- "I knew you were pregnant"-- and it's kind of annoying, but, I really did think you were way back when you posted about your mac n cheese cravings (probably because I was going through similar stuff) and I've been wondering ever since. So, thanks for confirming! (PS, our babies will probably be a week apart or so, both Katy and I have babies due on V-Day.)
