Well I thought it was about time to let the world know that we have another little McKenzie in the works. It's suddenly become obvious that I've got a baby growing in my tummy even though I'm just 14 weeks along. Things have been going well. I had tons of morning sickness earlier on and spent over a month literally lying on the couch snacking, puking and feeling depressed. The morning sickness isn't gone yet, but it doesn't take over every aspect of my life anymore and I'm hopeful it will go away really soon. Evelyn is cute and often asks how my baby is doing in there and "Can I play with your baby?". I think she'll be a great big sister. Learning of Evelyn's existence surprised us a month before we were going to begin to try for a baby. This time around we planned it out and were pretty happy that it happened right away. Our kids will be 3 years and 1 month apart, which I always thought would be just right. Of course I'm suddenly feeling that the six months I have left for Evelyn to do all that "growing up" we had imagined are flying by all too fast. Christie's baby will be four months ahead of ours so we should have a couple buddies on our hands. Evelyn already is calling Olivia her "Best friend". We're planning another home birth with Christie as our midwife, which I feel so privileged to be able to do, especially in the comfort of our new house. We've already heard the heartbeat twice and there's nothing better than that fast and steady little thump, thump, thump.
