Max is going to be a big brother

So I had my second doctors appointment today. I am 9 1/2 weeks pregnant. The due date is November 23rd. We are seeing the same doctor that was with us for our pregnancy with Max. Dr. Zimmer was very surprised to see us so soon but very happy for us. He said we are a fun couple and he looks forward to seeing us through for our second baby. The new baby had a strong heart beat (167) and he/she was very active. He was wiggling all around on the ultrasound and Zimmer said he was an active little thing. I said he is acting exactly how Max did. Funny how both of them were little busy bodies. So we have a very busy road ahead of us. It will be interesting how I will be able to chase Max around when I'm 9 months pregnant... We just pray that we have as good a pregnancy as we did with Max. This is all a blessing and we don't take a minute of it for granted.



This is when we told the news to Justin's family that Max was going to be a big brother. Justin and I made a bib with the letters Big Brother on it. We let them figure it out instead of saying anything. It was pretty funny once they caught on. This will be the 2nd grandchild for Justin's mom and the 8th for my mom. Sorry all but the sperm and egg bank is officially closed. We are blessed to be able to have two. It will be up to Chelsea and Ashley to add to the list. (and that wont be for many many many... years!)
