The Answers - Jumping Ahead to the BIG ONE

So after concluding the first part of my answers to your questions in Monday's post, I promised that I would be back on Tuesday with the next set of answers....and obviously here it is Thursday night and there have been no posts in between. So to make up for it, I'm jumping ahead to the question I was asked the MOST....

From Rory: "Is Miss A going to be a big sis anytime soon??"

From BC: "I am curious if you think you may have another baby someday?"

From Mel: "I was also going to ask if A is going to have a sibling anytime soon & how many kids do you want?"

From California Wife: "I'm most curious about if you want to have more children."

Inquiring minds certainly want to know! :)

So, I thought I would turn the blog over to Alexandra and let her answer the question.....

(Please excuse the terrible fuzzy picture - Alexandra lets nothing, including Mommy with her camera, get in the way of a good afternoon Elmo video.)

Yes, I am pregnant with our second child!! It's still pretty early, but I wanted to go ahead and share it here as the cat is out of the bag with a lot of our family and friends, and I was very excited to share the news here with you all!

I hope this helps to explain my lack of posts in the past couple of days. Morning sickness has hit me pretty hard - except in this case, it consists of morning, afternoon, and evening sickness. Walking around all day with mild to moderate nausea just does not lend itself to getting much accomplished, including blogging, so please bear with me till I get over the first trimester hump. I promise that I will very quickly publish some posts that address the rest of the great questions you all asked of me here.

Shew, glad I could get that out in the open and answer that BIG question!
