As everybody knows, the oldest child gets by far the most attention. Every successive child has few to no photographs taken of them and are hardly ever mentioned.
So, to avoid breaking that tradition, we are just now (5.5 months in) doing our first blog post about our second baby girl who is due sometime around July 1. And to prove that we are not making it up, here is a belly picture of Britney.
The pregnancy has gone pretty well so far and we are hoping that it stays that way. Britney has felt a bit better than she did with Ava (thankfully) and can even still handle onions and tomatoes which were blacklisted during the first pregnancy.
Before the ultrasound we were thinking the baby might be a boy because it was so active. In reality we just have another extremely active baby girl. We are thrilled that Ava will have a baby sister and grateful that they will be about 2 years apart so that we can reuse all of Ava's clothes and toys. Hopefully Ava can overcome her hyper-attachment issues and not be a total wreck for the first few months after her sister is born.
PS- If anyone has any ideas on how to transition a toddler with attachment issues into nursery we would love to hear them. Ava still has yet to make it more than 20 min without us in nursery.

This is a way better post than the one you did about a straw.
Congrats! So exciting.
On Seinfeld, the post about the straw could be turned into a whole episode!
Yay for babies! You are looking great, Britney!
I heard one former leader explain that she had always told the children she'd fetch their parents AFTER they stopped crying. So the kids learned to stop crying and then they were rewarded. She said it worked, anyway.
Hooray! SO excited to see the official announcement :) Congrats Britney and Erik - and Ava!
