I still have SO much to catch up on with this blog, but first....something of an announcement---
That's right...we're going to have another baby!!! YAY! We are very excited and I am even more excited for the day to come where I am not sick ALL day, which will probably be about another month judging by Haddyn's pregnancy. However, this pregnancy has been SO different than my last. I am 12 weeks along and due on November 5th, which will put the new baby almost exactly 2 years apart from Haddyn.
This ultrasound was from my first appt. at 7 weeks, so it's just a little bean! We have access to an ultrasound machine and have done two US since this one and it looks like a little tiny baby now and moves CONSTANTLY. As nice as it would be if it were a girl (because we could reuse all of Haddyn's thousands of clothes) I really think it's a boy. All we're shooting for however is healthy and happy, so bring it on!
We have a tradition of naming our little fetus and there is quite a story to this, so bear with me. Our best friends Taylor and Sarah have been the lucky individuals to help us name both of our younglings and with Haddyn we all put names in a hat and drew one out and that was it. Well, Taylor's was drawn and Haddyn was officially known as "Stalagtite" from fetal stage until birth. That was in NO way incorporated into her post-fetal name. :) So, with this baby we decided it had to be Taylor and Sarah to help us again. This time the decision was based on a simple game of Farkel, a Taylor FAVE (thanks Andy and Heather). So, the winner decided. Guess who won? Taylor again! Sarah has wanted to name our fetuses so badly and she couldn't even get on the board that game! Poor thing. We decided to do a middle name for this one too and played a second game to decide that...just for Sarah. But, Sarah didn't win, again. I did! In honor of Sarah however, I chose it's middle name as the name Sarah has been wanting to name our fetus since Haddyn. The final name is Batman McDougall (said like McDOOgall). Batman from Taylor, of course, and Sarah, that middle name is ALL for you babe! It's kinda cool that I'm carrying Batman though--HA!

Yay!! I normally check your blog with more frequency, but this is the first I've seen of your announcement. I'm SOOO excited for you guys. I like the fact that you are carrying Batman around, but I also like the fact that our children will once again be fairly close in age (about two months apart this time)! Woohoo!!
