Surprise! Surprise!

What an exciting week we have had!
First of all... in case you haven't heard, Baby Bassett #2 is on the way! On Wednesday, we went to the Dr. for our first sonogram. Because of some crazy insurance stuff and switching docs, I was already 14 weeks along, so we thought. As the sonographer began checking out the baby, she commented that she thought I was a little farther along. I didn't think much about it, because I just wanted to see that little heart beating and legs kicking. Well, after all of the measurements and calculations and seeing a perfect looking baby, we were informed that I was 17.5 weeks along instead of 14 weeks! That explained my very obvious pregnant belly!
Since I was farther along, she was also able to tell us that...
Elizabeth is going to have a little sister!
We are delighted and now preparing for a June 7 due date as opposed to July 1!
In case you cannot make out Elizabeth's shirt, it says, "I'm the BIG sister." Though we aren't sure how much she understands just yet, she does gives baby kisses and point to my tummy and cheer, "BABY!" I know they will be great friends... and probably have a good share of sister fights as well:)
