Week 6

Keeping a pregnancy a secret is so very hard. A few more weeks and we will tell everyone. My word of advise, don't EVER wish for symptoms. I have officially peed on at least 20 preggo sticks because I have been so non-symptomatic that I don't actually believe there is a little bean in my belly. I haven't gained a single pound despite eating like a horse. No joke. Double quarter pounders, steak, half a dozen hard boiled eggs in one day. This eating is a problem. I have been starting to feel tired, but that's about it. My boobs only hurt from me pushing on them to see if they actually hurt. Yep, no shame on this blog guys. Low and behold, I awoke this morning feeling nauseous as all get out and spent the early parts of my morning wishing I would have just scrubbed the toilet last week. Ugh. Emma demanded that I go to the doctor because she doesn't want mommy to be sick. She is soooooo excited to be a big sister. Perhaps telling her was not the best idea, but I wanted her to share in our excitement. She has been telling people for months that there's a baby in her mommy's tummy, so I'm hoping to just play it off for a little bit longer when she shouts out things like, "Ms. Sharon, I went to Jacob's party yesterday. Katie was there. Leo was not there, but the baby in my mommy's tummy was there! I'm going to be a biiiiig sister!" Me: (probably blushing at this point): "Ms. Sharon, we are working with her on trying to say, I WANT to be a big sister SOMEDAY." I think I was busted. Emma came home from school yesterday with a letter her teacher helped her write at school.
"Dear Sister: I love my mommy and my sister and my grandmom (she doesn't call ANY of her grandmas grandmom, but oh well). Five kisses from Emma. I love you."
*tear* Aw, pregnancy hormones. Looking forward to seeing some of my favorite CW girls today. Hopefully I can drag my ass around enough to at least pick up some of the crap explosion around this house.........

Back from the dead...

Well, I have officially sucked at blogging. However, I didn't want our second child to feel neglected so I have decided to resurrect our blog, make it more about our family as a whole and begin to chronicle this pregnancy. So if you are reading this, the information is public. We will hopefully get to welcome our second little bean into the world on or around October 18, 2012. The year of the Dragon. I am sooooo excited that we have been blessed with the chance to have another little one. I, of course, am going to be highly paranoid until our first appointment on March 19. I will probably be a neurotic hormonal woman and take at least 2 pregnancy tests per week until I have confirmed that there is actually a baby in my belly. So far I feel great. Tired. Compared to my first pregnancy, my boobs aren't bothering me too much, the peeing isn't TOO out of control. I cry a lot (but that's nothing too out of the ordinary). We have shared the news with our family and a few of my very close friends, but the public news will not come out until after our appointment. The common term on Baby Center is "send sticky baby dust" my way and hope this sticks!
