A Baby!

Six weeks and already looking the part

weight gained so far: I'm coming in at 3 lbs heavier than when I had Alexis

maternity clothes: No, but it won't be long

stretch marks: No

sleep: I've been waking up at 5 am to pee and about half the time I get back to sleep

best moment of the week: When I told Alexis I had a baby "in my tummy" and showed her she said "that's gross"  and then "that's dangerous".

food cravings: nope

looking forward to: Our doctor appointment at 8 weeks

Over the next couple of days our family found out through Skype.  Two weeks later we announced to our parents on Mother's Day weekend with the picture you all saw on Facebook:
