Yep! Baby #2 is cooking away. I found out on Friday the 13th (April) that I was pregnant. By my LMP I am due 12/12/12. How awesome would that be?! Ultrasounds are putting my due date later. We'll say mid December. Don't EVEN say it, friends. I know what you are thinking. 12/25 is not happening. I have diabetes again so I don't think they'll let H2 bake that long.
H2? I will give Nikki and Bob credit. They are calling their second one R2 right now. I think it's cute. I'm not completely sold on it yet. I exercise the right to change it when I want.
We are excited, yet even after 3 rounds of ultrasounds, it still doesn't feel real. Maybe because I wasn't a drill sergeant about trying to conceive this time. Maybe I'm too busy running after Evie that I don't have time to worry like I did the first time. It's kind of blissful. I want to feel more connected to H2 though. I hope this will all feel more real when I feel H2 kick. I understand why everyone said "enjoy your 1st pregnancy", it is so different this time around!
Due to popular or not popular opinion, we are planning on keeping the gender a mystery again. I really liked that moment in the delivery room. I like to give all of you a reason to read my blog come December. We both want another girl. I love having a sister close in age. But the Hollencamp name will disappear if we don't have a boy. For both these reasons, I think 3 kiddos might be in our future. We'll see how the second round goes for us.
I will update with belly shots monthly.

You know I am happy and I don't care if it is a boy or a girl.
Congratulations Marisa and Jason :). It's amazing how fast you start to show the second time around...I'm only 20 weeks and look like I could give birth tomorrow!
Yay! I love the post :) 12/12/12 would be amazing! (I'm trying to act surprised- is it working?)
And let me pack up all those maternity clothes for you! Thanks for trading me your regular summer wardrobe.
xoxo
Congratulations! Two is even better than one! And I wanted 2 girls to for the same reason you do but wouldn't trade my little guy for anything so whatever you get it will be awesome!

I am so very happy for the three of you. I know Evie will be thrilled to have a sibling to play with. Congrats
Congratulations again! I'm always reading--I'm just not much of a commenter, I guess. As the mom of an 11/12/11 baby, I hope your baby has better luck than Nora did in getting an unforgettable birthdate!
I am seriously doing the happy dance right now! Marisa, Jason, Evie -- CONGRATULATIONS!!! Love love love to all FOUR Hollencamps!
Congrats!!! I'm really happy for you. Hope I can see you soon!
Marisa,
I have a younger brother who is and has been a blessing in my life. I know you would love to have another girl to recreate your growing up years but what is really important is a healthy baby. How wonderful it is that Evie will have a sibling in her life. By the way if Jason is not the only Hollencamp to carry on the family name. Our cousin, Art, has a son, Rob who can also carry on the family name. There is no pressure for you to have a boy.
Congrats, enjoy and be happy.
Congrats! I had heard last week through the Stefany grapevine :-) Excited for you and Jason and Evie! I am an occasional reader - but you're in my bookmarks, so I usually read a couple times a year when I clean up that list :-) Have fun!
