Right before we left for our California trip we found out we're expecting. We are beyond excited and are so grateful our prayers (and those of others) have been answered. We had been trying for over a year and a half, tried clomid, been tested and lots of 'stuff' and I was starting to give up. I wasn't on anything and by some miracle we were able to get pregnant. The baby doctor said it's fairly normal for that to happen it's almost like the clomid jump starts your system or something so even though you're not on anything you ovulate better or something like that.
Things so far have been a little different this go around. Morning sickness was way worse this time and lasted longer than it did when I was pregnant with Gavin. I also bled a few times which led to one trip to the doctor and another trip to the hospital. We decided to wait until just before Christmas to surprise our families with the news. It was hard to keep the secret and I'm pretty sure I almost gave it away a few times. Chris and Brooklyn both want the baby to be a boy and Gavin is convinced it's a girl. Because he is always calling it's a girl I keep calling the baby a her. It's probably going to be super confusing is Baby doesn't turn out to be a girl. We will be super excited either way. Gavin decided we're going to call her/him Baby Sweetie so that's what we've been calling Baby Draudt. Gavin was confused when we first told them we are expecting. Brooklyn said something to him about a the baby in my tummy and he said "Yeah that's me!" ha ha it was so sweet. He now understands a little better and likes to kiss Baby Sweetie and talk to him/her through my belly button. :) We find out next week if Baby Sweetie is a boy or a girl and we are all super excited!
We gave the grandparents these super cute ornaments/magnets to announce Baby Sweetie.
