Of queso and bean burritos...

We're thrilled to inform the blogging world that Chancler kiddo #2 is on the way! I'm 10 weeks preggo and feeling every bit of it. Which means odd cravings for Taco Bell bean burritos, utter exhaustion, and hurling at the sight of leftover queso. I feel like I'm already showing but I'm sure that's a result of nasty bloating and one too many strawberry popsicles.
We've heard the precious heartbeat (yes just one!) and have been given the due date of June 14th. We're super excited and of course praying that the nausea passes quickly so that mornings can be a little more exciting around here.
This time around is proving to be a lot different than my pregnancy with Eden. The only symptom I had with her was an enlarging abdomen. But of course I couldn't indulge every craving I had when we lived in China. So things are kind of balancing out I guess. Feeling nausea but having an Arby's down the street is alright in the grand scheme of things! :)
And this time around we were able to tell our parents in person rather than via Skype! That was exciting to be there with them to give them the news! We made Eden a cute little t-shirt that says "I'm going to be a big sister!" But of course after 30 minutes of them still not noticing her shirt, we gave in and had to tell them a different way! But still very fun!
So let us know your prediction! Boy or girl? Vote in the poll to the right!
I'm not telling you our predictions so as to not sway your vote... :) But let us know what you think!

I'm going with baby girl. I think the difference is she's an American...and knows it. She knows she can send you to Taco Bell and that you'll be fulfilled. :)

Did you're parents go, "OOHHHH!" When you finally pointed out Eden's shirt?

Also...how was the (dundundunnnnn) American doctor's visit? Good I guess?

Congratulations, Jared and I are so excited for you. I am hoping for a boy, it seems like on that side of the fam we are lacking on boys, thats what Jared says anyways. Either one will be great. If he or she is born on June 14th they will be excatly 1 yr younger than Brooklyn, Trisha's baby, that is so cool. Well I hope you start to feel better soon and congrats again. I hope you enjoy all the vraving you are getting.

Congrats!
And the baby will come in the summer, good. No stressing over finals and wrapping up the semester. We hope you four are doing well, let us know if we can do anything for y'all as it gets closer (like watch Eden so you can both go to the Doctor each time).
