Our Big Announcement!

Hello Family and Friends!  Steve and I are so excited to announce that we are expecting our second baby!  We feel so blessed and are excited beyond words to welcome this little one into the world next year!  Our due date is set at January 28th and we can hardly believe that in less than 6 short months we will get to hold our little son or daughter in our arms!

We were blessed to be able to have an ultrasound at the end of June, around the 9 week mark.  It was so wonderful to see our little one so tiny and perfect!  I can hardly wait until our 20 week ultrasound!  Here are the photos that we have. 

So far, I have been feeling alright throughout the pregnancy.  I have not had as much energy as I did when I was pregnant with Jonas, but I am hoping that now that I have started the Second Trimester, a bit of my energy will start to come back! 

I am sure that if Jonas could understand that he was going to be a big brother, he would be so excited!  He is a bit young, though, to completely understand what is going on.  I think that once we bring the new baby home it will maybe make sense to him!  He does like to say "baby" though, and it is so sweet when he does! 

Please pray for us throughout these next few months as we prepare for this new little one to enter our family.  We are so excited, however having a second child will be a big adjustment!  I welcome any tips or thoughts about transitioning from one baby to two! 

I will keep you posted throughout the pregnancy on the health and progress of Baby Yousef #2.  Only 6 more weeks until we get to see Baby Y in another ultrasound!
