It's A.....Oh Yeah, Did We Say We're Pregnant?

I am so happy we have broken a crazy cycle. It all started four years ago when we became pregnant with Ezra. Still newlyweds, we were roughing it in a metal pole building while Corey (with family and friends) slaved away building our house. We moved into the basement the week before Ezra was born. No kitchen or flooring yet, but we had a bathroom. After a year and a half without running water, I felt like I was living in the lap of luxury. Crazy times.
A shower. A *real* toilet. True happiness! 10 days before Ezra was born. Laboring in the laundry room. Very soon after I did another sort of laboring. ******
Fast forward a a year and a few months. We found out we were pregnant with Audrey around the time Corey changed careers and we learned we'd have to relocate to Forks. We moved into a dumpy duplex but found a house to rent and moved in two weeks before Audrey was born. See the pattern?
******
This time we're doing things a little differently. Move in, get pregnant before the month's out. Corey just reminded me that like with Ezra, we still have a lot of work to do on this house. Right now our backyard is a giant mud pit. The kids love it. I've given up on mopping until it dries out. So landscaping the backyard is on the to-do list this spring/summer. Hence, the lame lack of blogging. Now that I'm halfway through this pregnancy and we're mostly moved in, I will joyfully anounce- we are pregnant! And we decided to find out the gender of the baby! It's a...

girl!!!
(Really, can't you tell?!?)

I'm happy that Audrey will have a sister, I'm really glad that I have one. I think it's a special relationship. Ezra's maintained this baby would be a girl from the get-go and is excited to teach this baby about dragons since he's had pretty good luck with teaching Audrey.

I'm so happy to look a little pregnant.

So much better than that "is she, or is she not?" stage.

yay! So excited to see that you are having another girl! I've always thought it would be fun to find out the gender the third time around (for a change)! You look beautiful! I guess I've never seen you pregnant. We must have met after Audrey was born, I think I was hugely prego when we met. Miss you guys!
