Lately

We are excited.
Super, over-the-moon excited.

We found out on the first day of November.
Michael had been claiming it to be true for a while before that.

I had been getting sick for a few days.
The tests were all negative, so I thought I was fighting a virus.

Nope, not a virus.
Michael was right.

Couch spot

This is my spot.
My couch spot. 
Because I am still getting sick.

I thought I had morning sickness with Eva.
Boy, was I was a whiney baby then.
I have "tossed my cookies" more times in one day this time than the entire last pregnancy.

I still smile about it...
hormones high enough to make me this sick are good things.
Well, I smile most of the time.

I did start crying in Chipotle's parking lot last night.
Being hungry and not wanting to eat is a horrible feeling.

We are making it.  Eva is a trooper.
She has watched a little more TV than normal, but hasn't complained about it.

Our little one is due in July.
July 4th by my dates and July 13th by measurements.

Eva measured a week smaller than we thought in her first ultrasound.
Later, they put her closer to our first due date.
Dates don't matter much anyway.

Eva thinks that everyone has a baby in their belly.
It cracks me up.

Especially when she goes looking for grampa's baby.
It has giving him a complex...
he says he needs to loose a few pounds now.

So, lately things have been a little slower.
Except when I have been running to the bathroom.

I have been napping a lot.
Going to bed early.

I am hoping this nausea turns the corner soon.
The doctor gave me a lecture and is expecting the scales to go the other way next time.
Me too.

But things couldn't be more awesome.

yes, feel better...I confess to never having experienced morning sickness with pregnancy...but I'm thrilled for high hormone levels for you and the promise that new life holds! My husband and his dad are July babies (7th and 3rd)... and they choose to believe that all the fireworks are for them!

Eww, sorry to hear you've been sick! It is such a miserable few months, feeling that way :( I'm so glad to have finally turned the corner, and now I barely remember it, as weird as that seems - given that I couldn't imagine EVER FEELING BETTER at the time! Hope you feel better sooner than I did... and yes, being hungry and sick and not wanting to eat IS the worst! Gross :(
