moopy & me: Moopy-poo number two

Yes this blurry blobby photo is a sweet little moopy who will be ready to join our family some time in September.

My goodness havn't I been hanging out to tell the world such exciting news, I am so proud of myself for not blabbing our secret any sooner (to too many people anyhow).... it was no easy task keeping my big mouth shut I can tell you!

Moopy number one is absolutely over the moon... she has been begging for a baby sister for over two years now ... she is so sure of the baby being a sister?? but has come up with a very cunning plan if she happens to be blessed with a brother..... she has simply stated that I will have another baby!! well, I know what I am praying for.

I am quite suprised at the fact I am pregnant again... I swore black and blue that I would only have one baby... I found the baby 'thing' far more trying than I had ever thought it would be (but of course endlessly joyous at the same time). But come mid 2007, I had this sudden urgency to have another baby... I became obsessed.. wall paint was chosen .. a quilt was half made (in gender neutral orange and green) ... my GP only laughed and looked surprised that I had never heard of the four year itch. Why didn't any one tell me! I had been warned that getting pregnant again (due to some minor health issues) would not be so simple... so Chris and I thought the beginning of 2008 would be a good time to start and hope that Lily wouldn't become a teenager before we got the good news... well not even a week had gone by and presto! pregnant. I am not so sure I am going to listen to the doc in future... once is a fluke but twice... I think it's safe to say there are no fertility issues to worry about.

So you can expect a darn site more craftyness going on around here in the near future... I have some sewing to do!.. bibs.. booties... a quilt to finish.. my mind is a buzz with little pint sized projects, especially now that, that nasty bout of 'all day' sickness has cleared up. That is except for a few bigger issues like ... literally picking the house up and turning it around to fit a new baby in.. (how could something so small need so much space!) finding an art teacher to help out at the studio and a consultant who needs a beautiful studio to work in while I am not using it so much..... Let me know if you are keen!

Congratulations! I just had my second baby at the end of last year. My first son was SURE it was a boy.
It was like he always knew it was a boy so I wouldn't be surprised if you are having a girl! Can't wait to see all your baby stuff you make. I was too tired and sick my whole pregnancy to make more than one pregnancy album and some baby wipes. Hope you have a great 9 mths.

Congratulations! I wish much joy for all of you.

And I have to just add that even with everyone 'hinting' to my brother that he might like a brother to play with, he was always convinced that I was a girl (which I am). I don't know how small kids know, but they often do.
