Cricket's New Adventure...

Well, Allison is going to be a BIG SISTER!!!!  Yep, you read that correctly.  We are having another baby!!!!  They will be right around 14 months apart! We are so excited!!!  I will answer some common questions we have been asked by our immediately family who already know.

1) Are you crazy? Well maybe a little, but it will be fun, right?!?!
2) Do you realize what your life will be like? Yes, we understand that we will probably not remember anything about the next 2 years or so, but it will be okay in the long run!
3)Are we going to find out the sex? No, we are keeping it a surprise like last time.


This is how I told Scott that we were going to have another one.  Funny thing about the shirt.  When we went to the store, I asked if they had any Big Sister shirts and the lady said "not in her size, they start at 2T.  It doesn't make sense for them to make them in the 0- 24 month sizes".  To which I laughed and said "yeah, that would just be crazy!! "  So she will grow into it!  Needless to say, Scott was confused but very excited!



Here is a picture of the little Sweet Pea!!! That's kind of the nickname for Baby #2 as of right now. We have to have a nickname again since we aren't finding out if it's a he or she.  On the ultrasound it looks like a pea in a pod and it just so happened that the week before the sonogram Alli got a "pea in the pod" toy from Grammy and Aunt Sarah.  So it kind of works!! So now we have the Cricket and the Pea! (instead of the Princess and the Pea)



I was almost 8 weeks weeks at this sonogram.  I'm about 10 weeks pregnant now.  The due date is late January or early February.  (Scott is worried that it will be on Super Bowl Sunday!)

And here is what we think Alli will be like as a Big Sister! 

Let's just hope she gives the baby more kisses then she does smacks in the face!!
