Greg and I are excited to announce that we are expecting our second little Leopold sometime in October. My due date is not until Nov 2 but since Elizabeth came 3 weeks early, it is probably safe to say this little Leopold will also make an appearance in October. We are excited and probably just as scared as were the first time! Most people are thrilled with the fact that I am pregnant... of course I am bringing a life into this world... but some people just like to play on the emotions of a pregnant girl! When I announced my pregnancy at work, everyone was happy for me until I told my boss... the first words out of her mouth were "I was wondering why you were getting plump." No congrats, nothing... then back to work we went! This is no lie. I have not been skinny in a really, really long time (if ever) and I am very self-conscious about my weight and I don't need a reminder that I am overweight... I see it every time I look in the mirror! I was shocked and very upset that someone would tell me that to my face, but the way I see it, it is not against the law to have children and I am going to be happy for our little family. So on that note... here is the little peanut:
This was at 6w6d but I am currently 8 1/2 weeks along.
I think that Elizabeth knows we are pregnant without really understanding. Just over the last few weeks, she has been OBSESSED with her babies. It started out as only one baby that we took everywhere we went, but silly Mommy bought another one thinking it is smaller and we can take that one everywhere, but no... Elizabeth just takes them both now. It is so cute and she loves them so much. She will feed them, kiss them, put them to bed. She will even try and put a diaper on them if it would fit. It has become our tool and our enemy all in one. We will tell her "baby isn't crying" and she will stop crying if she is upset. She will throw the biggest tantrum you have ever seen if she doesn't get to take baby with her somewhere. When she gets in the car after school, that is the first thing she says "baby". She is growing up fast and I know that she will be a great big sister. I can't believe she is going to be 18 months next week... where does time go. Here are some pictures of E and her baby:
