The news is officially out.....

Macie is going to be a big sister!!!!

March 1st, 2010 is the estimated due date for now.

We couldn't be more thrilled, and are looking forward to our new addition!

This is kind of hard to see, but her dress says "Big Sister in Training. Macie"
Some of the reactions we got to the dress (didn't quite go as planned):
"Oh, that's cute.....who bought that for her?"
"So cute, Big Sister in Training" (then just walks away)
"I don't get it, are you trying".
I realized we should have just gotten a shirt that said "I'm going to be a big sister". Guess since Macie is only 10 months old, it kinda threw people off that we are pregnant again so soon. Understandable!
They will be 18 months apart. I am a little scared, but I think it is a good "gap".
There's not much to see here, it was very early. Our last appointment was Tuesday and the little bean was at least 2x larger and moving around like crazy!!! Heart rate was 180 bpm.
We couldn't keep this a secret much longer as my belly is growing at an amazingly fast rate. Right now I look like I did with Macie at about 16ish weeks. It's crazy!!! All is well so far, BP is good, no weight gain. Not much to report so far.

Okay, so I'm old - Takes me a while to catch on to messages on dresses!!! We're very excited that Macie is going to be a big sister. Now begins the wait that seems like an eternity.
Don't be scared - There is no ideal age gap between kids. They'll be great pals (Well, most of the time!).
Love to all of you,
Grandma & "Papa"

We could not be more thrilled. As Macie can attest to, my new niece or nephew could not ask for better parents!! This baby will be very lucky to have the both of you. And, as happy as Mark and I are for you, your niece Kate is so very excited - she keeps trying to change Ryan's diapers for him now - she's practicing. She is going to be a big help to you :).

Congratulations to all three of you!!

Love, Mark, Gayle, Katie and Ryan

Yea! I think you're going to have to change the name of your blog. I'm with your mom, I read the "only 213 days to go" and laughed out loud, it does seem like an eternity, maybe the second goes faster but I can't imagine having 213 days ahead of me right now. We're so excited for all three of you, can't wait to hear pink or blue! Congrats!!
