Lewis: Party of 4!

Jason and I are extremely thankful and thrilled to announce…

“This Lewis family is expanding and making Jaxon a BIG Brother! We are expecting baby #2 in early Spring!”

I have just entered my Second Trimester. All seems to be going well and baby is healthy! We are over the moon excited, and so thankful that we are finally able to make Jaxon a big brother.

Here is the announcement that we posted on Facebook over the Labor Day weekend.

Here is Jaxon in the shirt we got for him to make the announcement. The smallest size I could get was a Youth XS and it was too big. He was NOT thrilled and kept yelling "too big"!! So....we opted for Plan B (above!). I think it turned out really cute anyway!

I can remember, nearly 10 years ago, when Jason and I first started dating and the writing was on the wall that it was “for forever”. We would talk about our future and discuss how many children we wanted. It was always three, God willing. I wanted two boys and one girl, but bottom line, I wanted healthy and would be perfectly content with 3 of whatever! We waited for several years before beginning the journey and even though we had a few bumps along the way, I think our family is shaping up beautifully!

We kept this pregnancy a secret this time and it was kind of fun! Normally, I have a big mouth and blab to the world the minute the stick pops up two lines…but this time, I kept the news to myself and husband, mom and grandparents. Once we had a strong heartbeat on the first ultrasound, we let some of Jason’s family in on the secret. I also told my closest friends and cousin. But still, we kept the news to ourselves.

After our 12 week scan indicated baby was healthy and right on track, I let my boss and co-workers know. Maternity leave is going to be a little tricky given that a large chunk of my testing duties will fall into the late Spring timeline and I won't be present. I will be leaving for the remainder of the school year in late February. But, everything will work out just fine and I am not worried and, I refuse to.

Here is baby’s first photo (ultrasound at 7w3d) and then another ultrasound shot at the NT scan at 12 weeks! I am in love already!!

This is a wonderful time for my family and I couldn’t be more thankful that God has blessed me with the ability to have children! While we may go through bumps along the way, I do understand how lucky I am to be able to get pregnant and carry my own child. That is truly a gift! Every child is a gift!
