Baby Mayer #2

Baby Mayer #2 is due in September. We're excited! Here are a few sonogram pictures.

8 weeks. Just a blob with a heartbeat.

12 weeks, 4 days. You can see the legs on the left, bent at the knee. The arm is next to the head.

12 weeks, 4 days. You can see a tiny foot in this one - on the left.

We're officially due September 17, which is my my niece Madison's birthday. We plan to find out what we're having, probably in late April. I think Carly is too young to really get this, so we haven't told her a whole lot. She says "yes" when we ask if she wants to be a big sister, so that's good enough. If she knew a baby was coming, she would probably ask me where it is every single day. We've got 6 months to go, so we'll hold off on telling her much more.

I have been more tired and sick with this baby than I was with Carly, but I have felt a million times better in the last 3 weeks. Unfortunately the first trimester landed squarely in my busy season at work, but I managed to survive. Fortunately the winter weather has been terrible, so Carly was content playing inside most of the time in January and February. Most work nights she would play in her kitchen in her room while I relaxed in her bed. She thought it was lots of fun to cover Mommy up and take care of Mommy.
