Yes, the queen of indecision (and her consort LOL :) ) regarding child spacing has finally gone and done it! I am very happy to announce that DH and I will be expecting baby #2 in mid February 2004! Doing my own rough calculations, I think the EDD will be 2/17, but I hope to have a better date after I see the OB in July!

I am so excited (and a bit overwhelmed) to be making this journey! And I am very happy to be able to share it with this board. :)

Congratulations! Hopefully I'll be right behind you, and I'm looking forward to hearing great advice about handling a newborn and a toddler!

I'm sending all my most positive thoughts your way for an easy and uneventful 9 months!!

Hooray! That's great news!

(Selfishly, I'm especially glad that you're having another baby because it means you'll probably be sticking around here a little longer! With Sarah coming up on her 2nd birthday, and not really a "baby" anymore, I was starting to wonder how much longer we'd have the benefit of your great advice! :))

Congratulations!

Congratulations!!! I am really excited for you and your family!

I have always enjoyed your posts since Nick is only a few months younger than Sarah, kind of prepared me for what's coming up with him. Now I guess I will have to talk to dh about working on #2 so I can still benefit from your great advice!! LOL, we have been having a lot of indecision on the whole child spacing issue as well.

Yay! I've been waiting for this news. So you decided on 2 1/2 years, huh? That's our plan too, so I also eagerly await your insights and tips some time down the road.... Congrats. Have you told Sarah?

Woohoo!! Congrats! I love the idea that this was all a big plan to keep from being "kicked out" to the Toddler Board, but somehow I get the feeling that there might just be more to it that that :)

I'm so happy for you, DH and Sarah. Here's to uneventful pregnancies and happy new additions (and calm transitions from only child to big sister!)

all the best,

We're so happy for all three of you- you're already such a wise mommy- I can't wait to hear how much more wisdom you gain with your sweet second little baby. Sarah's going to do great...not that it was ever a question ;)

Big hugs,

Thanks all for your kind words! It means a lot to me!

I hope that Sarah will adjust well. But I also think that having a sibling will be good for her.

And no fears, I wouldn't have left for the Toddler board. But I figure I now have a good 3 more years left here! :) :)

From a selfish perspective, I am glad that you have a reason to hang out on the boards a few more years. :)

Congratulations, Beth!! I know you don't know me, but I am a frequent lurker (and every-once-in-a-while poster) on this board. Your posts in particular have been incredibly helpful to me over the past 9 months (the age of my DS), so when I just noticed the addition to your sig, it brought a huge smile to my face. I was so happy to click over here to the Due Date board to read the "official" announcement and pass on my best wishes to you and your family. I know I'm echoing many others here, but I'm glad you'll be sticking around. :)

I've been absent from the board for a few days but am so excited to read this!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :):):)

I'm very excited for you, Adam and Sarah and here's my wish for an uneventful and joyous pregnancy. Is this out in the open at playgroup yet or shall I keep the news hush hush for now? I can't believe I held out telling for so long even though it was becoming obvious ot many of you. ;)

You and I will have to start talking newborn cloth diapers soon. :)

Hoping you have minimal queasiness,
