Chapter 18: Irish Twins

When Hannah was 15 months old, Joe and I got the surprise that we are having another baby. We were wanting to have a baby until Hannah was older but even though we were shocked, we are very excited for this new baby. Joe and I decided to break the news by having Hannah wear a T-shirt that read: Big Sister and then having Denise pick her up with everyone around. So that night at dinner after we had finished and nobody left the table yet, the news came out. "Denise can you get Hannah out of the high chair for me please?" I asked her. Denise got out of the chair and went over to the high chair to get her out, and when she removed the bib she had the best reaction on her face. "Big Sister wait are you pregnant?" She asked me. "Yeah." I replied. "Oh my gosh how exciting!" She gasped coming over to hug us. "It was actually a shock to us both, she's only 15 months old." Joe told her. Everyone congratulated us still shocked at the news but overjoyed with a new baby in the house. "It's good for them to be close though, it will be like they are the same age." Dani replied. "Yeah that's true, hopefully it's a girl." I replied back. "Three girls boy I will be outnumbered." Joe replied. "It's all worth it." I replied giving him a kiss. "She's already pregnant, watch it." Nick teased him. "Haha funny." Joe replied. I was so excited to have another baby but hoping that this pregnancy was smooth like it was with Hannah. The nausea was the same as when I was pregnant with Hannah, I was also tired alot more too. I stayed tiny for the longest time, everyone was so shocked to that I wasn't showing yet but I was like that with Hannah. We decided that we would have this one at the hospital and not at home like Hannah was (hopefully if it decided to stay in that long and also wait until it's born to know the gender. I had a very big feeling that it would be another girl, we had Savannah Marie picked out for a girl and Bentley Joseph for boy. Hannah didn't know what to think when we told her about the baby in mommy's tummy. She would come up to my tummy and go "baby" and sometimes cuddle with my stomach. It would be a different transition having 2 under 2 but I would have lots of help. Abby and Nick were expecting also, she is a couple weeks behind me. I was so excited for us both to be pregnant again, they had Maci Ann for a girl and Harry Nicholas for a boy. Nick was sure it was going to be a boy while Abby thought maybe a girl. I couldn't wait for our kids to all be friends.
