Happy News

As spring blossoms around us, we’re anticipating an exciting change for our little family. We’re expecting another baby, due at the end of August.

It feels entirely different than the first time, mostly because there’s much less research and preparation involved this go around. We already have an amazing team of midwives, who we’re thrilled to be working with again.

We took a minimalist approach to baby gear last time and found that we had everything we needed, so we’re planning to do the same this time. And since we waited to find out our son’s gender until the big day (and we’re planning to do that again this time), we’re well-stocked with gender-neutral newborn apparel.

Really, all there seems to be to do is wait, mull over names, and devise strategies for keeping up with two little people. Apparently other people are doing it, so at least we know it’s theoretically possible.

  2. CONGRATULATIONS !! I like your phrase. “… theoretically possible” … with four children (all adults now) and several grands- and great-grands, I can attest to the validity and unbelievable joys of the theory.

    • Thanks! I’m glad you tested the theory, and you’re still around to tell about it!

  6. Congratulations! Two are great fun once you work out the extra busyness, and more fun again when they start entertaining each other. I enjoy reading your blog, and looking at your lovely photos (so different to New Zealand), so no doubt there will be some more interesting posts with your growing family.

    • Thanks! Oh yes, I have a feeling we have many busy and interesting days ahead of us.

  7. Congrats! I took time off from my blog early in this pregnancy too – “You can only create one thing at a time” 😉 Happy times ahead!
