Oooh Babyyy!

We're expecting :)

I will be 12 weeks on Sunday (so be looking forward to pregnancy updates every Sunday) I tried my absolute hardest to keep this wonderful news a secret until the end of the first trimester *which would be next Sunday* buuuut after going to my doctor's appointment Wednesday, I felt that it was finally okay to share the exciting news!!! A BIG THANK YOU to all of our closest friends & family for staying on the DL. I know it was just as hard for some of you, as it was me!!

My Doctor has reassured me time & time again that THIS time is going to be different then the last. He has no doubts that I will deliever a healthy baby before or on July 10th. Yessss.. July 10th. The middle of the freakin summer. Yessss.. TWO days before my birthday. Ay Ay Ay. Oh well, I don't care! It is soooo worth it!!!

As far as my appointment went Wednesday:
Lost 4 pounds! Any other time in my life I would be estatic about this. I have had "morning" sickness since Thanksgiving. More like, "morning-afternoon-night-in the middle of the night" sickness. REALLY hard to keep it a secret when you feel like dog poop 24/7. Ha! It is getting better though. I have actually been able to enjoy a few meals the past couple of days. So hopefully within the next few weeks it will wear off. I was able to hear my precious's heart beat :) Oh, there is nothing sweeter. It put me at ease & reassured me my little peanut is doing great! Blood pressure was good. It was a pretty quick appointment! Except the hour and 20 minute wait to actually see the doctor :S

As far as my pregnancy has gone so far:
Like I said before, SICK! ALL.the.time. Waaaay more tired than I ever was when I was pregnant with Luke. Maybe its because..I'm running after Luke AND pregnant. I'm already in maternity pants. I'm already showing. Yes, I know..don't talk to me about it. My belly is already getting hard. I can't stand the smell of Subway (just like with Luke). So if you go to Subway and then come to my house, please shower first. I will know! Even if you went for breakfast and it is 7 p.m. Even though I can't stand the smell of Subway (sorry Eric) I have been craving deli sandwhiches. It's one of the only things I can stomach. I get sick if I eat anything fried, any fast food, orange juice. I am waaaay more emotional than I was with Luke. I was watching the Kardashian's the other night & they showed a scene where Kris took Bruce's hand at Khole's wedding and I went into a hysterical blubbering episode. Luke & Travis both looked at me like I was insane. Anytime I think about this baby, or think about Luke, or see another baby, or fold Luke's little clothes, hear a song about a child, I just bust into tears. I think it is more that I know this time around how truly amazing having this baby is going to be. I love Luke more than anything in the world, and to have that type of love for two human beings in more than I can comprehend sometimes. I still worry that I have a chance a miscarrying. I don't think that I will be convinced until I am holding that baby in my arms. I haven't bought anything for the baby yet. I'm too scared. I try not to get excited (even though I'm the most happiest person in the world) I secretly want a girl. For pure selfish reasons. I want to do all those Mom-Daughter things. But I will be so happy if I have a boy. I love Lukey Baby. How could I not want another mini him? Trav doesn't want to find out the sex this time. I do. We will see.

Stay tuned :)

Eee!! I was so excited to see your update on facebook. I know how long you've wanted this! Isn't it insane how things can be different from pregnancy to pregnancy? Mine were so opposite that I thought for sure Grace had to be a boy.

Your morning sickness should be going away really soon. I didn't have any with Grace, but with Evelyn I started getting sick about the second week of October, and the first day I starting feeling significantly better was Thanksgiving Day. (And I'm with you - find out what that baby is!! Haha.) Congratulations!! Being a mommy of two is WONDERFUL. I was terrified, but it has been pure joy for me. :)
