I want to put on weight!

I decided I wanted to have different resolutions this year
So my number one goal is to gain some weight! haha
Not really but I am not worried about the few extra pounds I might put on in the next months!

Some people may already know but I wanted to document some things so here goes
Just after Thanksgiving we found out that we were expecting baby #2
I was a little in shock because I had convinced myself I wasn't pregnant
So I had to take a couple tests just to make sure


They both came back with the same results!
We were beyond happy...and maybe a little scared
I had been wanting another baby but decided to wait until I ran my half marathon in October
I had been praying that it would happen when it was right for us and our family
I know Heavenly Father knows what is best for me a little better than me!
I told Mark my deciding factor on starting to try again was going to be from what I heard in general conference
And then there was Neil L. Anderson's talk on children
and it was like he was speaking directly to me
I loved all of it and I knew another baby was the right decision for our family
We went to the doctor a couple weeks ago and I told Mark we weren't telling anyone until then
Our doctor got a new portable ultrasound machine and I got to see my baby!
I can't tell you how happy it made me
I always have these secret fears that something might go wrong
and seeing my little baby kicking and heart beating made me so happy!
I couldn't stop thinking about it the rest of the night!

Needless to say,
We are very excited to have another baby the end of July(I really think the beginning of August)
I am grateful to my Heavenly Father for trusting me with another baby
and I can't wait to find out whether it's a boy or a girl!
