so, i was starting to wean cole around 9 months ... we were down to nursing at night and first thing in the morning. things with my body were beginning to return to normal ... then, i felt like i was gaining tons of weight and that my emotions were all over the place. around cole's 10-month mark, he started to reject the breast -- he would latch on for like 3 seconds and just turn his head. i realized that something was different and sort of put two and two together.
i decided to buy a pregnancy test and it just so happened that jordan was in london for the week. my mom was also out of town, but my little sis was around -- looking for an apartment and a job in austin. i took the first one on a thursday night -- and it was negative. hmmm. i could have sworn that i was pregnant. a couple of days went by and my body just wasn't feeling right. on sunday night, i decided to try the second test ... bingo! we were having another baby!
i decided to make cole a cute lil' onesie to break the news to his daddy when we picked him up at the airpot -- same thing for abuelita. it was so awesome to see their faces!
the babies will only be 18 months apart, but i think it's going to be wonderful. we've been to the doctor's twice, seeing the new baby on both occasions. everything looks great. our due date has been set for march 29th, right between my birthday and j's birthday. i'm hoping the baby comes early and we add another pisces to the fam. however, the baby could come a few days later and we may have another april fool's aries on our hands.
we'll definitely be finding out the sex of the baby again. i'm awful with surprises. so, check back in a couple of months ...

Hey Ms. Mommy-
I wish I had more time to chat at Drew's wedding--it was quite the whirlwind! You looked great (loved your dress, by the way) and congrats on baby number 2. How exciting! I love the onesie you made--creative as always...What lucky kiddos to have such fun parents!
