secret no longer!

yup, we are expecting our second little rascal!

i am 17 weeks and 6 days. due date is october 17th.

we don't know if it is a boy or girl yet ... but come june 2nd we will find out!

we couldn't be more thrilled to add another sweet spirit to our family.

we feel so blessed.

i have a feeling it is a girl.

and if it is ...  i told jord today,

i really want her to look like tom cruise and katie holmes' daughter!

ah! she is such a doll.

 LOTS of you already know this exciting news of ours,

and i really have nothing else to blog about at this moment,

so i thought i would finally, publicly announce!
i was going to wait until we found out what we were having,
just to make it that much more exciting to profess, but i couldn't wait any longer!

although ... i do want to say how grateful i am for both of our mom's. mine and jord's.

(as an ode to a mother's day post i never did ...)

i am grateful for the Christlike qualities they both beautifully portray.

i am grateful for their testimonies. for their examples of love and patience.

we love you mom's SO much!

AND

as i said on my facebook ... thank you everyone for your sweet birthday wishes! (on fb, texts, and calls)  
i seriously feel SO loved!
