Tag Along

Here is a post I wrote but didn't publish back in June when we found out that we were pregnant;)

Well, it's official, the Cooke family is pregnant again! Brad and I have been talking about it for about 6 months and were really on the fence about the whole thing. Life is so easy with a toddler and we are finally able to get up and go on adventures again. Like this summer, we're going on a 6 week road trip, which we couldn't do before now. And, financially, a second will be significant. Daycare for 2 will be like $2000 per month, luckily, we'll only have to do that for one year and then be back to one kid in daycare. But, in the end, we both decided that our family just wasn't finished yet and that Cyrus will be a really great big brother. So, we decided late May that we would try. We thought that August would be the perfect month for it to happen since the race would be over, the cruise would be over and the road trip would be over as well. What I didn't realize is that I am fertile myrtle apparently as by late May we were pregnant. We were both shocked. We thought maybe I had brought back a stomach bug from Costa Rica as I was not feeling 100% and Brad said he thought I was pregnant. So, I took a test and low and behold, we're preggers. Crazy crazy stuff. Super excited and I'm putting out there right now that the peanut told me she was a girl:) We are calling her "Tag Along" since she is tagging along on all the adventures this summer :)
