I'm not normally the kind of person who plans her New Year's events way ahead of time.  Usually, the day before, we call around and see whose plans we can intrude upon.  (Thank you to all our sweet friends who let us intrude!)  But, this coming year, I can be pretty certain I will be doing one of three things:  cuddling a baby, writhing in agony, or being large marge the baby barge.  That's right, in case you missed my subtle post yesterday, we're having a baby!  Life as we know it will never be the same.

Here's our little teddy graham as the ultrasound tech called it.  I'm 10 weeks along, and normally, I would wait until I'm totally out of the first trimester before we told the world, but it's true what they say about the second baby.  Your body just balloons up.  That combined with the lovely morning all day sickness made it almost impossible for me to keep it a secret any longer.

Cora seems pretty pumped about the idea of a new baby.  In Alaska, she very much doted on baby Miriam her 5 month old cousin.  We'll see how she takes it when the little teddy graham gets here!
