Probably is time...

Most family know, but I should probably just state that we are expecting baby number 2. I am currently 14 weeks and lets just say pregnancy is not my friend; I was not made for breeding. I started getting sick at 6 weeks and was still sick at 12 when I called my doctor and begged for help. It is absolutely miserable when you can't enjoy your life. Drugs are my new best friend, especially Zofran (anti-nausea). I have energy, I can actually help clean the house or cook food, and go out on the weekends. There is nothing more miserable than being sick and attempting to take care of a 3-year old.

Amelia has been super sweet during my whole "sickness" and has become fascinated with some new things. There were times when she would come and rub my back and ask if my tummy felt better and other times I was basically reshuffled so that she could have a good view to tell me what color my lovely "sickness" was. I have even caught her several times running down the hall and then proceeding to act like she is sick including spitting in the toilet. Gotta just love those little sponges; they soak up everything.

All-in-all we are excited and can't wait to find out what the Lord has blessed us with. I would like a little girl so I can reuse Amelia's cute clothes, Spencer of course wants a boy, and Amelia says she wants a brother, but I don't think she quite gets the whole baby thing. We will just have to wait to find out.

Congratulations!!! That is so exciting. The second one was easier, for me anyway. I knew more of what I was doing. The sick part does suck, hang in there.
