I'm baaaack!!!

Ok - I had many questions about resurrecting this blog now that we are pregnant with baby cook #2.... so I figured, why not?!?!?!!? I know I've been a bad blogger -- I need to snap out of it and at least update monthly with Ben's goings-on. We do have the Shutterfly share site for pictures though -- if anyone isn't a member just visit and sign up and then you'll only get updates when I update the pictures there: http://jerredmichelebenjamin.shutterfly.com/

So yes, we are expecting our second little one - 2 kids under 2 years of age - insanity!!! But, yes, this was intentional and we are very happy! We heard the heartbeat for Baby C on 10/15/09, strong in the upper 150s, and doc said everything was great so far so we told the world! Our next appointment is to actually see the little bean on 10/30/09, so I'm excited for that for sure!

Ben is doing great! He's cruising everywhere - he'll lean forward between furniture but won't quite take steps on his own yet. His one or two attempts thus far have resulted in face plants into the floor, so I think he's a little hesitant. He says "night night" as basically his first words.... not much else yet but he babbles in his own language all day long!!! He's a great sleeper, a picky toddler when it comes to eating (we have a toddler!!!!), and just a very happy little boy and a joy to be around!

Here are some recent pics of Ben picking out his pumpkin and after Jerred carved it!

The last one was taken with the lights off, and he wasn't a fan of the dark room and glowing pumpkin! Like the awesome monkey face Jerred carved into the pumpkin??? It came out great!

So that's the scoop - EDD for baby #2 is May 14, 2009 right now - will get a confirmed date based on how big baby is next Friday, and if they give us some ultrasound photos we'll share them for sure!!!!
