A Lesson in Contraception

Steve and I found out last Friday that we are expecting another baby next spring. We were beyond shocked. Apparently even birth control used correctly, every day, without missing a pill or taking any antibiotics or anything that would mess with it doesn't always work. Oh well! We were hoping to be making this announcement next spring about a baby to be born next fall, but instead we will be welcoming the next addition to the Obreiter family on April 16th of next year. (For those of you who've followed Abby's blog you'll know that this is only 1 day after her 2nd birthday).

And... to make the news even more interesting, we will be going in two weeks for a second ultrasound (yep... two ultrasounds in less than 8 weeks) because there are some factors that may be indicating twins. Steve and I are praying hard that there will be only one new baby and would appreciate your prayers to that effect as well!

Abby's heard the news, but we aren't sure whether or not she really understands what having a new baby means. She does know where the baby is (inside my belly) and likes to give it hugs and kisses. We're hoping that she transitions to big sister easily. I'm sure she'll do fine since she is about as smart as kids come.
