BC# 2 at 10 wks on Valentine's Day!

I am just realizing that while I posted an announcement to facebook, I have yet to make it "blog official". Since this is the location we will actually be able to look back and read events and stories from the past, I wanted to make sure to write a little note here. Michael and I are happy to announce that we are expecting Baby Campbell #2 (BC#2) on or around September 12, 2012. We are extremely excited about this news and Ryan is excited to be a big brother.

Ryan already enjoys giving tummy baby kisses and hugs multiple times daily (unfortunately this typically results in him lifting up my shirt- working on that!). However, he is less than thrilled when I actually am holding a baby, so we may have our work cut out for us!! Hoping that over the next 6 months he is able to gain a little more independence and while I love him being a "Mommy's boy" I hope he is also very kind and welcoming to our new addition. He already recognizes the hospital where "baby out, Mommy" when we drive past, as we took a tour during an Open House of the new maternity suites a few weeks back. We talk frequently about baby needing to grow first and then it will come out and live at home with us. While he certainly doesn't grasp the entire concept just yet he definitely seems to have an idea and has made the connection that baby is in "Mommy's tummy", and NOT Ryan or Daddy's tummy.

We hope you will rejoice with us in the new life that is growing and pray for continued health for Mom and Baby! I feel blessed to now be in my 13th week and honestly feeling great! I had maybe 2-3 weeks of light nausea and overall have just had some headaches and fatigue. It is hard to distinguish sometimes the pregnancy fatigue and simply being the Mom of a 2yr old! Anyways, I feel very blessed that God is giving me an "easy" road so far and hope it continues to be this way. Hey, an easy baby would also be wonderful!! (Keep praying!) All our love!
