Coming in April 2010...

....Baby Summers #2!



Yes, we are pregnant and super excited! I'm only 6 weeks and 4 days along, but after my miscarriage in February, they have already put me through a battery of tests and the doctor says it's okay to share the news!



I actually found out when I was barely 3 weeks along; in fact, I found out on my sister's birthday (August 8) at her house in Tifton! It was so exciting to be able to share the news with my mom, mother-in-law, and sis in person, but unfortunately, I had to call Tyson back in Birmingham and tell him over his lunch break in the middle of football camp. Either way, we are thrilled! My due date is April 24, 2010; I will probably have a scheduled c-section the week before that if I don't go into labor early (like I did with Jake so there is a huge chance for that). Tyson and I are both praying this baby stays safe and sound tucked inside as long as it can, but we wouldn't mind an appearance on April 11 (Tyson's birthday)!



As far as Jake is concerned, he of course has no clue what's going on. I've been trying to teach him that Mommy has a baby in her tummy (mainly so he'll quit kicking me during diaper changes!), and he loves to kiss my belly and say "baby." Other than that, he's clueless...I'm pretty sure his world is gonna be rocked in 7 months! And for those of you who are wondering, that means Jake and baby #2 will be 2 years and 3 months apart! But thank goodness for a Spring Practice baby!



I'm feeling ok right now. I obviously found out a couple of days before Jake's swine flu hit and was lucky to avoid catching it, but it was a pretty rough start to the pregnancy to say the least. Do you see why I called my mama? Anyways, pregnancy is definitely more difficult with a toddler to chase behind but I'm making it...just the normal nausea and fatigue that comes with pregnancy. I feel the exact same so far that I did with Jake, so I'm leaning towards thinking this one is another boy; in fact, I already had "the dream" twice that it was a boy. We'll see in about 10 more weeks! Of course, though, more than anything, we are praying (and ask for your prayers, too) that this baby is healthy and that my pregnancy is uncomplicated. Especially after the miscarriage in February, I will never take a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby for granted! God is good!

Oh, and sorry for the picture of a picture, but it was the best I could do. The baby's heartbeat was 144 bpm today...a good strong heart beat praise the lord! I go back in 3 weeks for another glance and will be sure to post those pictures. Until then, your prayers are always appreciated! Thank you all!
