15 Weeks :)

As most of you know, I am now 15 weeks pregnant... and things are going pretty well with this pregnancy. Just hoping the morning sickness and horrible headaches will go away soon. I am also hoping to not gain as much weight as I did with my last pregnancy (I gained a lot at the end with the preeclampsia), so hopefully I can lose the baby weight a little faster this time around. So far, so good. I really haven't gained much yet.

My next OB appointment is on Sept. 9th. Hopefully then we will schedule an ultrasound to find out the sex of the baby sometime really soon! I'm so impatient, and the wait is driving me insane! lol. We are hoping for a girl this time, but will be happy either way :)

Where to start...

Well, we have decided to start a blog to show off pictures and keep everyone updated on what is going on with our little family. I would assume that if you are reading this you already know who we are, but for those of you who do not I will give you a short summary:

For starters, my name is Melissa and my husband's name is Anthony. We met in June of 2006, through a mutual friend, and were married a year later on June 23, 2007. 

We became an instant family, as Anthony already had two children from a previous marriage, Jordis and Blayne. I love them both as if they were my own. They definitely make life interesting! Boys will be boys :)

After struggling with two miscarriages, we welcomed our first son on January 20, 2009. Kaiden Charles weighed 6 lbs. 12 1/2 oz. and was 21 in. long. It is hard to believe he is now over a year old, he is growing up so fast! 

We just recently found out that we are expecting our second child together, due February 20, 2011.  We are so excited about this pregnancy, and really hope this one will be a girl! We will be sure to keep everyone updated!
