Cats outta the bag and our little family secret is not such a secret these days...
When people started to approach us about this I was so surprised that word had gotten out so far, but Jon put it well... "Good news travels fast".
SO
We are VERY pleased to announce that Ollie Pop, is now
We are havin' a baby!!
It's so surreal to say those words... and to say that I am pregnant.
That was not in the plan. That was not going to happen for us... not for a long time, if ever.
To say we are thrilled out of our minds and unbelievably grateful is an understatement by a long way.
We started working with the fertility team again at the first of the year, and they found a way... we found a way, and we are pregnant :)
I just love saying that!
I am currently 10 weeks along. Yes, we know this is a bit soon to go public with the news, but word had spread so much we decided there was no point in hiding. Plus, the pace I am already gaining weight leaves me little room for hiding.
We have had two ultrasounds so far and heard/saw a healthy baby and heartbeat at both.
The most recent was on Thursday and I don't know how else to describe it but just magic. I had no idea that this early in pregnancy that there was a real live baby in there... like wiggling, waving, smiling (at least I like to think he was smiling) adorable little baby. And seeing that was such an overwhelming feeling. GRATITUDE, JOY, BLISS, RELIEF, JOY, JOY, JOY.
We are still just in shock that this is actually happening to us... and so soon!
I am due December 4th so baby Layne and Ollie will be almost exactly 2 years apart. This both excites me and scares me. I love Ollie so much, and I love our life with just him, I love spending my days with just him. He's my little buddy, my shadow, my world, and part of me is just not ready to share him. But the other part of me is excited for the years to come and for Ollie to have someone to play with and grow with and get into trouble with.
It will be good.
Life is good.
Our Father in heaven is so very kind and good and I feel so honored that he has trusted me with this gift. I really just feel so honored that I get to do this. That I get to experience a new way of becoming a Mommy. Holy cow, I am happy.

Wow Tracy! That is great news! So, so exciting. I know the anxiety of expecting another child...just wondering how it will be possible to love another child like you love the firt. It actually brought me to tears at times during my pregnancy. Let me tell you though...your heart has the capacity to love your second child just as much as the first. Just wait. You'll be amazed. Being a mom is the best! Congrats!
I am so so so happy for you and your cute family!! Congratulations!!
