New Family Addition

On Christmas we announced to our families that we are going to have a new addition to our family: Baby Newson #2 is due July 28!!  We told our families by having our Mom's open a present with a baby onesy that said 'Born in 2015'.  They were all really excited!



Prego-Mom Update: We are really excited but I have had a pretty hard month (probably why I didn't get everything done with holiday season).  I have stopped exercising (I pretty much sit, unmoving, on the couch) and stopped eating (I loath saltine's) but I am at least surviving (ugg). I had a couple weeks of intense migraines but after some blood work and medication changes I was able to get that under control in time for the morning/afternoon/night sickness to begin.  I am on a progesterone supplement that adds to my sickness but I was able to be put on a light nausea medicine that has helped a lot in the morning.

It is harder to be pregnant with a toddler, and I can not imagine having more than one while being this sick. Elizabeth has been so good and patient with me.  She is watching a lot more TV or reading books while I am sick on the couch.  But we have amazing neighbors who come over and take her on walks and to the library; I am so grateful for the love and service given by others.

Ben took two weeks off for the holidays and it was such a help.  I am not really cooking (or handling any food smells) so Ben took over all cooking, toddler feeding and kitchen cleaning- he really is amazing!!

So... I am really sick but in a couple more weeks, when I start feeling better, I am sure the excitement will come back! It will be an adjustment but such a blessing to welcome a new little one into our lives! We are so excited for the blessing of another child and to see our little family grow!
