Two Blue Fish


I had not intended on keeping the fact that I am pregnant a secret from anyone. But somehow, that is exactly what I wound up doing! In the midst of planning and traveling, I just never got around to writing a post about the tiny detail that we were adding to our number. We spread the news quite willingly by word of mouth, but that was pretty much it.

So I am here to tell you today, I am a pregnant woman of the 20+ week variety, and we are having another boy! I was really convinced this one was a girl, so I have decided that I am just done guessing the gender of our children. I am obviously bad at it.

This pregnancy has been easy-peasy compared to Aed. I have hardly felt sick at all, and aside from being unbelievably tired (and a slightly picky eater) for a few weeks early on, I feel great! I am praying that doesn’t change :) While I’m at it, I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to start praying against extreme puffiness too..

Anyway, last Sunday we took the first belly picture to commemorate the 20-week mark. We were joined by big brother who wanted to know what was going on :)


Neither of us can believe we are already over half way through! I am well aware, however, that the last half goes on much longer than the first half.. but I am also well aware that June will be here before we know it.

Unfortunately for us, our housing is almost entirely up in the air at this point, so we aren’t exactly planning how we are going to fit two kids into our living space just yet. That will come.. Hopefully with some time to spare :)

In the meantime we are forgetting logistics and spaces and enjoying imagining life with two little boys instead of just one. Praise the Lord!

  1. Congratulations!!! I can't believe I didn't even know, but that makes sense since we haven't talked for a long time. We miss you guys. Also, you've already set up quite the standard for naming, as Aed is a great name. I vote for Callum or Liam. :)

  4. Congrats! I hope you still have Aed's clothes- they are close enough in seasons you can still use them.
