Internet, I'm craving Doritos
I had a sonogram this morning, and everything looks wonderfully normal. The last several weeks have been totally nerve-wracking, and I cannot describe the relief I felt seeing two tiny hands waving about and a steady, rhythmic heartbeat. Due date is June 14th.

- RIP Louis Mortimer Armstrong: http://bit.ly/1R4tv6
- Hugs and kisses to you, too! RT: @Monkey_Tree: @dooce he probably committed suicide because he was tired of LISTENING TO YOU WHINE.
- Our fish just died. And I'm sitting here crying. And it wasn't even my fault!

This made me cry. Awesome news.

CONGRATS!! But be afraid, very afraid. The transition from one to two is harrowing. However, Leta has given you such a run for your money that baby #2 will be an easy one! I have a daughter Leta's age and she's VERY strong willed. My little Hugh (we call him Hef) is easy peasy. Good luck.

Mazeltov! That's wonderful. A thousand congratulations and happy wishes for you and your family.
I love the picture, by the way. I love love love it.

Does Chuck know that you peed on that thing before balancing it on his nose??
Congratulations! I'm very happy for you and look forward to reading about the adventures this new addition to the family will bring.

I just got all misty-eyed and goosebumpy over someone I don't even know... (or rather, who doesn't know me. )
Congrats Armstrongs!

HAPPY NEW BABY NEWS.
I was tired of all of the 'congratulations', though OF COURSE they are in order.
Fun Fact: My birthday is June 14th. :D This is a good sign.

Next entry, I wanna see some belly pics =P

Congratulations! You should get a copy of The Miracle of Me to read to Leta. It’s written from the unborn baby’s perspective about how the baby grows and develops. Great child-friendly tool for parents to explain fetal development. Uses in-utero photography and rulers/scales so you can "see" the baby’s progress. I got it to read to my daughter but have a soft spot for it myslf. A must have, for sure.

Heather, that is awesome, AWESOME news!
I'm genuinely excited for all of you. I know how long you and Jon have been aching for this happy news.
Big congratulations!
2990. Kate said:
Congrats Heather! I know you've been wanting this very badly for a long time.
With pregnancy #2, All I could eat for a long time were Doritos and not much else. They were all that seemed to help for the nausea. That and flat gingerale and Sea Bands (they both helped a bit)
Hope you feel better than I did!

Why do I not find this odd? For some reason, I found myself thinking of you and your family the other day, hoping that this would happen to you soon.
Congrats on the long awaited 2nd baby.

Speaking as someone whose children's birthdays are Jun 20 and 29, I'd say June is a GREAT month to have a baby. Congratulations.

I went on vacation for a few short days, thinking, "what could possibly happen with my favorite blogs while I'm away?", and look at all the excitement!
Many congratulations to you and your whole family. Here's wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy.

HOLY CRAPOLA!!!!!! I have NEVER been SO excited to hear that a pair of complete strangers are expecting! I actually got out of my chair and RAN to my husband to tell him. He wishes you all the best but wonders at my ability to be SO invested in this.... Anyway Leta is going to make one heck of a fantastic sister.

Heather and Jon (and Leta! and Chuck and Coco!)
I am just THRILLED for you all. I am ridiculously happy for you, nearly as happy as I was to hear that Coldplay announced their Australian tour today. NEARLY.
This is just beautiful news, and I cannot wait to see photos and read all about how the pregnancy is going. CONGRATULATIONS! XXXX

Congrats!!!! (Assuming you have already made the choice to keep this one. If you are planning to abort, then please disregard this message. I do believe in a woman's choice, and I fully support whatever you decide to do to this baby.)
