After much discussion over the past 2 years, Rhett and I decided upon a plan to someday expand our family likely via adoption. Much of this was due to practicality such as finances, my age and our overall energy levels. We were also under the impression that having children naturally on our own would be very challenging as we had discovered during our attempts to have Oliver. So we were both incredibly surprised to find out late November that we were pregnant! I must admit that it took a couple of months to fully process and reset expectations but we are now both very excited and happy that things worked out this way. I'm actually really thankful that this came to us unexpectedly and unplanned as it takes all the thinking and analysis out of the equation.
I am now 33 weeks along and we will be welcoming our baby girl in early August! Thus far my pregnancy has gone very well without any morning sickness or other aches and pains. I've been trying to watch what I eat moreso than when I was pregnant with Oliver. My main cravings have been fruit which is better than hamburgers, pizza and chips like the first time around!
