I hope my sisters are okay with me putting this picture up. And I'm sure you can guess what's going on here. Yep, we are all preggers together--Surprise!! And aren't we all so cute :)
I really don't know why I haven't posted anything before now and in fact, I've strangely had a hard time telling people that I'm pregnant. I was more comfortable with people asking me rather than coming out of nowhere and announcing my special news. Let me assure you though and I am very excited about this! So my due date is November 7th which puts me at 24 weeks. That doesn't sound like very far along to me, until I express it in months and that means I am 6 months...WHAT?! Yeah, that sounds like a lot to me. And then when I realize that we are already halfway through July...wow, this is going fast.
My doctor had guessed several times from listening to the heartbeat, that it was a boy. The first time he told me that I started crying. Why? I really don't know because I thought I was hoping it was a boy. Kevin was guessing that it was a girl so maybe with all his girl talk I got confused and wanted a girl. So by the time my ultrasound came along I really didn't know if I was hoping for a girl or a boy. And the results of the ultrasound? Baby is developing properly and it's a BOY!! So Rylan instantly has a best friend and I'm very excited about that. I'm glad that Rylan is so laid back because I've seen mothers with 2 or 3 crazy boys and I admire them for all the energy and patience they must have. Here's to hoping that boy #2 will be just as laid back as Ry :)
The above pic was taken almost 3 weeks ago, which surprises me because I am much bigger now. At this point, in this pic it looks like I can kind of hide it...no longer am I in the hiding stage! From left to right, here's some info (I hope I get all the due dates correct): Amy (sister-in-law) due July 23 (and we are all anxiously awaiting the arrival of this little boy who will be here so soon), Kacy (sister) due September 27, with a boy, ME! due Nov. 7th with a boy, and Deborah (sister) due January 25 with a ???.
So life is great and I feel great and I love being pregnant...especially when I get to share this time with such beautiful girls around me. (I also have a sister-in-law on Kevin's side who is pregnant with a boy due in September!) When I was prego with Rylan, my oldest sister Tami was pregnant with her twins...my first child and her last children. I feel so lucky! And with all these new boys around, life is sure to be full of excitement!!

Congrats on having another boy. Just look at all the cousins he will have to play with! I had lots of cousins my age & loved it!
I was excited about this picture every month, but then I saw this and remembered how much I hate pictures of myself!! At least I will have a hair cut before we do the next one on Sunday!
Congrats on the boy!! Rylan will just love having a baby brother to play with! I actually thought you might be pregnant at the last book club I went to in May. You had that glow thing going on. I would have asked, but I figured it would be rude. ;)
Wow!!!! How exciting! It would be a great experience to be able to be pregnant with so many sisters! I was wondering when you guys might have another! I am so happy for you and your family. Maybe he will be born on my birthday! You and My husband Cory share a birthday you know. I can't believe you are due so soon. Well congrats to all of your family. So many boys being born! Maybe Debra will bring in the girl:) Is this her first? Kacy gets a little boy after two girls! so fun!!!
when deborah told me she was pregnant I was of course thrilled...then as the conversation went on...I realized that so were you, I knew Kacy was...then she said Amy is...I couldn't believe it! That is so much fun to have soooo many Mitchell grand-babies. I think it's so cute that you are all pregnant. Talk about timing! haha. Congrats Janell...you're so cute, and the smallest 6 month pregnant girl i've ever seen!
Yeah! You finally posted your happy news! What a fun picture of you and your sisters. Have fun in St. George this weekend!
I had no idea you had a blog! Yeah!I started using statcounter and checked it today to see who was looking at my blog and that's how I found you. I love that pic of all your sisters.
Congratulations! That will be so fun to have so many cousins the same age. I made it to Utah last night, barely! My kids are almost recovered from pink eye so I am hiding out at my parents for now in Logan. I am hoping to see you on maybe the 28th or 29th? The reunion is from the 24th to the 26th.
you stinker! you're six months a long and you're just NOW telling us?!! lol, you sure are a good one for secrets!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I think it's awesome you'll have to boys close in age to be good buddies!
can't wait to see your new baby bump!
Ummm...since I am always complaining (about being pregnant lately)can I just add how I didn't realize I have NO booty in this pic? C'mon, I KNOW it is bigger :) Although I do love being prego with my sisters...can't wait to see our train of men grow up together!
Janell! How are you doing? This is Rachel Nichols from Wyview. I don't know if you remember me, but wait you have to because you guys introduced us to Catan. Oh the fun days of playing that game and going to play wallyball.
Your hair is way cute short and congratulations on the two, well upcoming, boys! Rylan is so cute!
