Then I felt a flutter. A flutter that surely was gas. Surely. Except my mind starting running wild. Could those nosy people be right? How could I be pregnant? Remember this friend? This kind of thing happens all the time. And so, for peace of mind, I took the test.
Positive. If this one was right, how far along could I be? A July baby perhaps. However, pregnancy tests aren't %100. But ultrasounds are.
Today we found out this little lady is going to be a big sister. And somehow I missed the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. Yes, that's right friends. I didn't know...For. 20. Weeks. Everyone gets tired, right? My pelvis could be shifting back INTO place. On and on the things you tell yourself when your subconscious isn't ready for #2. Our #2 is coming in April.
This year our Christmas miracle is a healthy baby. Without prenatals, extra water or rest, or super tight blood sugar control the little Skittle looks good. Naturally, we feel very blessed and are praying for continued good news.
Pregnancy #1--19 Weeks
Pregnancy #2--20 weeks
We're overwhelmed. And excited. And oh yeah, it's a boy.
We are currently accepting suggestions for a new blog title.

Holy smokes, you are a baby machine! Congrats!
Congrats! Hopefully I can finally meet little Stella this next semester. I'll babysit and you and Jason can enjoy a relaxing evening out before your lives get even more hectic.
Couldn't sleep, so I had to get on and check your blog. So glad I did. That is craziness!! Seriously..you are tiny for 20 weeks. Especially after just having a baby a few months ago!! You are a wonder. Congratulations! And a boy now, how fun!! They will be the best little buddies.
HOLY COW!! This is great news. And crazy news. And super news. Wow!!
Now. that is the way to be pregnant. You are halfway done already!! Yippeeeee.
Love you. So excited for your little family. Can't wait to meet the little guy! They will be such good friends one day.
still not sure i believe it.
but i'll love him if he does show up.
i still maintain you don't look prego.
I still think it's the best news and I'll try not to say obnoxious things like "i'm jealous". If anyone can handle it...
I am still in shock over this but so so excited for you guys. I'm glad Jordan and I aren't the only ones who were in denial (or whatever it was) for a lengthy period of time before we found out about being pregnant.
What a lucky little guy to be coming to 2 incredible parents and an adorable older sister. We love you guys.
your call is still making me laugh and shout for joy!
Erica- this post made my jaw drop- then it made me cry for happiness for you! I am so thrilled! I have NO clue how you missed the first 20 weeks- wow! Congrats! I love you!
Wow, so exciting! Congrats!
HOLY COW!!!! JAxson is almost 2 and people r asking me when i am ready for another and i say on no no yet!! Crazy!!! oh btw u need to call me back!!!
Holy cow, I almost fell off my chair. What a surprise, I'm sure an overwhelming one, but at the same time how exciting! To be so close in age, I bet Stella and Baby Boy will be the very best of buddies. Congratulations!!! And just think, you got 20 weeks of pregnancy out of the way without all the worry and stress.
Last night I learned a little secret about Martin-sometimes he reads people's blogs. I thought that he thought that he was too manly or cool or something like that, but now I know better thanks to your amazing news. He came into the bedroom last night at 2 am and said, "Did you know that the Erica and Jason are expecting again?" "No, how do you know?" "Well...a string of rationalizations and explanations...and I saw it on their blog."
Your news is so good, that for Martin it was worth sharing, even at the expense of his perception of my perception of him.
We are so happy for you and for your healthy little boy!
Seriously cool news! Most cool is that you DIDN'T KNOW! Meaning your body was relatively happy with the little guy being there.
Here's hoping your logic adjusts to this timing. Such surprises really can throw you off. Our first two are 15 months apart. Unexpectedly, I might add. After seeing the Dr (there were no home pregnancy tests in those days)I sat in the car and bawled. "I need a milkshake!" I whimpered...and that was the beginning of my demise! I did have a little grieving moment because I adored my Johnny and our private time together and I wasn't quite ready to give that up. But it turned out beautifully in the end. So happy for you!
I'm glad you did a bump picture comparison - that's amazing! You should feel quite thin. He is a Christmas miracle and we are so happy for you three!
We also sign up for babysitting and anything else you need. We love you guys + Stella.
AHHHH!!! Oh my gosh! Wow! I don't even know what to say! I guess congratulations, you're half way there! Did you not get sick at all?
Congratulations!
I can only assume overwhelming and exciting are moderate adjectives when comparing how you guys must be feeling...but, wow! Lucky little guy to get to come to your family.
Oh my goodness! Please bless I have a 4.5 month pregnancy at some point in my life :). Such exciting - and unbelievable! - news. Congratulations!
This is the most fabulous news I've heard all day. Congratulations!!!!
Wow Congratulations! I've never heard of such a thing, amazing. We are so happy for you, Jason and Stella.
This is amazing! I agree with Ashley--you are halfway done! Yay! He is one lucky little guy to join your cute family. Congrats!!!
wow!!!! That is so wonderful! Heres to busy moms who don't even have time the think about being pregnant!
that's amazing. :) congratulations!

It speaks for itself. This little guy is already breaking records!
