We're happy to share the news that we are having another baby! I'm 15 weeks along. Baby is due August 13th. We are SUPER excited, and can only imagine how much our lives will change once we add another sweet baby to the mix. Ella knows about the baby but doesn't really "get it". She told us she has a "tiny baby Ella tummy" last week. It'll all make sense to her come August. :) We're not going to find out the gender this time around. It's a bit of a challenge having the ability to look and see at any moment what's going on inside, and if it's a boy or a girl squirming around in there. With some strong will and a blindfold during our ultrasound it will remain a secret until he or she makes their appearance later this summer.Things have been going smoothly so far. The first 13 or so weeks I was really queasy and just plain exhausted every day. I still can't ever find anything that sounds good to eat, and sweets (which I normally LOVE) are a big turn off most of the time. Smells still drive me up the wall, I just want to yell at people that put on 5 squirts of cologne (yes that's you Mr. grocery store checkout guy) and don't think about the poor nauseated people of the world. I can't shop at certain grocery stores that have esp. stinky seafood departments, and the cleaner/laundry/soap isles are still a no go too.
My vision has changed a ton since being pregnant which didn't happen the first go around either! I can't wear my contacts at all. Starting at 6 weeks my eyes got really dry and so irritated and light sensitive that I couldn't even drive. After calling in sick to work because I couldn't drive, I decided the contacts just weren't happening anymore, so it's just glasses for this girl for the next 6 months. Overall though I'm feeling pretty well, better by the week.Everyone says you start to show much earlier with subsequent pregnancies...well it's true for me. I already look way more pregnant that I think I did when I was this early with Ella.
These are a few ultrasound photos from about a month ago. I'll get updated ones posted soon.

Can't wait for this crazy summer of babies to begin! But seriously, when does this food aversion go away? It's so difficult to be hungry all the time and have nothing sound appealing! And driving past Reser Foods every morning on the way to work, not good.
Yeah, some baby pictures to copy for my scrapbook! Thanks for sharing them. I'm kinda with Sara on the not knowing thing, but I too will get over it. :)
Can't wait to meet new baby Manson.
I love you all. Gma Manson
Yay, we're so excited for you guys! Please let us know if you need anything. I can't wait to meet baby #2. And since "baby #2" is kind of a mouthful, I was thinking we can give s/he a gender neutral like Terry or Pat. ;)
Yay! How exciting! Congratulations!
