the other baby: FAQ.

although there was a grand total of zero questions about this pregnancy in last post's comment section ((lots of congrats, though, thanks!!)), i'm going to go ahead with a quick Frequently Asked Question post.  because let's be real...once people know you're pregnant, the questions come rolling in.  even from weird strangers in the supermarket.  it can't be helped, though this tank top is a pretty amazing attempt:



not a picture of me. but it should be.

 When are you due?
due January 7th, which means any time after December 17th would still be a full term delivery.  Christmas baby??  hoping not.

Are you going to find out what you're having?
we are.  the ultrasound is on August 26th and i'll be sure to keep you posted. have been tempted to fake some sort of pregnancy issue so that i can get an ultrasound before then, but i'm waaaay too mature to actually do that, and so here we are ultrasoundless.

Do you want a boy or girl?
really wanted to have two boys. like, reallyreally. but after sadietot, i'm surprisingly conflicted.  i've been saying that i want a girl for sadie ((sisters are amazing)) and a boy for lucas ((so that he's not completely outnumbered)), but NOT twins. so since my wishes are mutually exclusive, i guess it's a good thing God's in charge of all that stuff, huh?

How are you feeling?
large. like, i'm pretty sure i started showing the DAY i got pregnant. c'est la vie. pregnancy is not a great time to be vain. and thankfully, after a few weeks early on of knock-me-down fatigue and round-the-clock nausea, i'm feeling really good.  absolutely nothing to complain about.

Do you want more kids after this one?
i can assure you that no, we do not.  i'm not going to say that we won't, because that's about the time i'll get pregnant with triplets a month after delivering this baby ((surprise!))....but i can say that both lucas and i look very forward to completing our family with this second one. 

Do you have names picked out?
we do, but we're not telling. too many family members with big opinions. i can assure you, though, that they are awesome.

annnndddd, i think that about covers it.
promise this blog will not become a "latest update on luke's other baby" blog.
promise.
