Yes, you've guessed right. ;) We are expecting! And we couldn't be happier!
Some of the FAQs:
How far along? 20 weeks-- half way, yay!
So when is the due date? Around May 20-ish
Morning sick? The nausea wasn't nearly as bad as I remember (thank goodness!), which I'm sure had quite a bit to do with the fact I spent that trying first trimester virtually stress-free with my supportive, loving, and helpful family-- I can't thank my mom, dad, and sister enough for the tremendous blessing of their patience and help. I'm afraid, even being blessed to not be as sick, the fatigue was more than I remembered, so I wasn't the upbeat self I would've liked to have been during our three months living with them.

Gender? Why, yes--- I wasn't able to go to the doctor while out of town, so our first appointment was the delightful "find-out-the-gender" ultrasound when we returned.
We are all very happy to announce that it's a....
We are thrilled to continue to build our little Army of Helaman and have a new son join our family this spring! Our Benjamin and Jonathan bring us so much joy, we know another sweet little guy will fit right in and bless our family. Both our boys are very excited to meet their new "baby brother". He is healthy and growing just as he should. We are so grateful and love how our family is growing! :)

How exciting that we will both have our little boys at the same time! Congratulations to you and the rest of your boys! By the way, I'm SURE you are not any bigger than me. My stomach has doubled in size in the last week alone!!! Hopefully we can see you all some time soon.

I have to tell you, I cringed for you when I read about Benjamin's tooth. Pip almost lost a tooth and I was in tears at the thought... Anyway, I'm glad he's OK (and glad that he'll get a new tooth in a few years!).
I LOVE the brunette 'do!!!
