Adding to the Family

We are very excited to announce we will be adding a new member to the family in February 2013!  We've known now for 4 1/2 weeks but just recently (3 days ago) shared the news with family and friends.  I really can't believe we were able to keep this secret for 4 weeks.  There were several times I wanted to say something so badly but kept myself from telling. 

For anyone who would like to receive regular updates and thoughts on this pregnancy you can follow our blog Our Journey - Baby #2.  While I will occasionally post updates to Facebook, I won't be doing it as much as I did with Micah.  I just know too many people who have hoped and prayed to be able to experience what we have and will experience again.  I want to be sensitive to them.  They shouldn't have to see something pregnancy related every time they open FB.  I am not sure I was very sensitive to those friends' feelings when I was pregnant with Micah.

Happiness

This makes me happy.

Daycare Breaks My Heart

Micah has been in daycare now for just over a month.  It is getting so hard to drop him off.  He's really attached to me and is in a clingy stage.  He's always cried when we drop him off at day care but it seems to be getting worse.  When we pull up the drive he knows where he is and that I am about to "abandon" him all day.  He is fussing before I ever get parked.  I thought as time went by it would be easier to drop him off and he'd start being excited to see his friends for the day.  That is not the case at all.  This morning after I dropped him off I cried almost the entire way to work.  It was so hard seeing him through the window trying to be consoled by someone else (and it not working).  I feel the same way he does.  I feel like I am abandoning him.  But what other option do I have?  It's just getting harder and harder on both of us.
