Just in Case You Haven't Heard...

That is right folks, the Kavalich clan is growing again. We found out that I am pregnant two weeks ago and we are so excited. The original plan was to keep it somewhat quite until my first ultrasound, but how do you keep this kind of news to yourself? After telling our family and some of our closest friends the news kept slowly leaking out of our circle and so we decided to just go for it and make the big announcement. I am almost six weeks along which means that I am due mid June (my very educated guess is June 19th), we will know for sure after the first sonogram which is just a little over a week away.
As most of you know this baby is something we have wanted for quite a while now. We were beginning to get a little discouraged that it was taking so long to get pregnant. It just seems like after you have one kid your body should know how to do this. Month number ten was our lucky month and our family budget will finally stop keeping Clear Blue Easy in business for a while.
Claire is seriously over the moon about the baby in my tummy. When we first told her she said "I want the baby to come run with me on Thursday". I promised her that there will be a Thursday that this baby will run with her (it just might be a couple of years away) she can hardly wait. I am really shocked how much she gets it. She thinks that my belly button is the portal to the baby. Everyday she lifts my shirt and kisses the baby, tells the baby secrets and shockingly the baby tells her secrets too. I think that one of my favorite things she says while rubbing my tummy "I just love her so much", melts my heart every stinkin' time. She is confident that we will call this little one Baby Grace. That's right, she is convinced that the baby is a girl.
We are already praying for a safe pregnancy and delivery. The doctor says there are a few unknowns left over from my tricky delivery with Claire so we will be watching the baby's growth pretty closely. We are praying for a very healthy baby! Also we are praying that Claire's enthusiasm will continue towards this baby and that our little princess will transition into sharing her kingdom very gracefully. Feel free to pray with us.

We are super excited and can hardly wait to know if this nugget is a boy or a girl and what he/she will look like. It is a little crazy to think that we are headed down this road again, it will be an adventure I am sure. I am sure that over the next eight and half months there will be quite a few updates as we prepare for Kav Kid #2.

***For those of you who were wondering, the "24" post was a special note to my grandparents telling them I was pregnant. This baby is their 24th great grandkid.
