Congrats to 2 friends who gave birth this week!
Rachel and Jared welcomed their third child (but first daughter) on Sunday, 9/13 at 7:29pm… 8lbs, 13 oz. Welcome Kylie Rae, and congrats Rachel, Jared, Jackson and Jaden!
Congratulations also to the Normans who welcomed their second daughter last night at 11:40pm… She weighed 6lbs 11oa a day after her due date. Emma Catherine was wasn’t sure she was ready to be born, but a determined Mommy suffered through a couple of days of post- Castor Oil treatment to get things moving! Congrats Kristina, Dan, and Audrey!
Some sweet little girlfriends for our little man on the way!
I can’t wait to get all of these munchkins together!

Well, we had our 18 week ultrasound yesterday! Everything looks good… They say they did not get enough measurements while we were there, so I get to have another one at the next appointment in a month! The baby is measuring at about 9 ounces and 6 inches from head to backside. It is so hard to imagine that it can be that small and still look like a complete little person! What a miracle!
I imagine the most interesting part for everyone is this…
Can you see the little hand by the head? And…
IT’S A BOY!!!!! Alyssa will have a little brother! We are so excited and a little bewildered at having the whole new experience to look forward to. It should be fun seeing how they are similar and different! He was so busy during the ultrasound. I wonder if he will be as busy as Alyssa after he is born!

As mentioned in the previous post, I am a slacker. I am 3 weeks overdue in posting congratulations to my dear friends Kimmie and Mark Kingsley on the birth of their son, Thomas Jefferson Kingsley. The adorable little munchkin was welcomed into the most patriotic family I know on July 4th! Unfortunately, Mark was not here in time for the birth due to multiple delays during his return from Iraq (Sandstorms and the like), but he was able to hold his sweet baby before he was 24 hours old. I was lucky enough to meet Thomas the day after he was born and I can’t help thinking that I will be doing the same thing in about 6 months! Yikes!
Congrats to the Kingsleys (and D’alessandros, since the grandparents were just as anxiously awaiting his arrival)!

Yes, yes, I know. Slacker. I am sorry, it can’t be helped! I have been beyond tired and totally lacking in motivation the last few months because… we are expecting! I have been struggling with first trimester exhaustion and nausea that I did not have the first time around and it has really taken a toll. Add to that the fact that Alyssa has been struggling with the whole sleep routine (as in, difficult to put to bed at night, down for naps, and not sleeping through the night for over a month), I am completely worn out! Thank goodness for a husband who is super at doing housework and taking over kid duties! I am so lucky and thankful to have him! I don’t know what I would do if circumstances were different.
I am almost 13 weeks… due date is February 3rd, 2010. We have already been to the first couple of appointments and everything looks good so far. I feel like I might finally be coming out of the perpetual nausea, so yay! Let’s hope that things get better from here! I really enjoyed being pregnant with Alyssa and am hoping for the same this time around! Wish us luck!
