It has been way too long since my last post! Sorry to those who have probably given up on me ever writing again! I promise I will make an effort to post more often. In my defense...back in December we upgraded to smart phones. Yay! Now that I can check my email, my fav. blogs and facebook anytime I want, I rarely sit down at the computer anymore. So naturally my blog has suffered.
I did want to update you all on baby #2. I'm almost 15 weeks now (on Sunday). This pregnancy has not been my favorite so far. The entire month of January I just wanted to die. On top of unpleasant pregnant symptoms I had a permanent cold and then strep. From 8 weeks to 14 weeks I have felt awful! I feel pretty good during the day. Just really tired, have no energy and feel like I'm starving to death every hour. But evenings are the worst- starting at almost exactly 5:00. I'm not sure if it's because I have used every ounce of energy I have at work or what... but I come home and feel totally sick. I crash on the couch and can't move. Forget about working out :( My headaches are the worst ever. All day every day, nothing seems to help them much. I haven't thrown up, but felt like I might only once or twice. Just in the last week or so I have felt slightly better at night. Hopefully it will end soon. My stomach is slightly nicer to me now, but it hurts. It's hard to explain. It's super sensitive and aches but doesn't feel like barfing anymore. I seriously take a bath almost every day. It is the only thing that seems to relax me for a few minutes.
I have had some weird cravings. Most food doesn't sound good in general, but potatoes are amazing! Any kind prepared anyway! Especially baked and topped with sour cream and cheese. I could eat them for every meal. MMM. Also loving V8 right now. Normally I LOVE sweets, but I don't care much for them. We have had ice cream in our fridge for at least a month! That is insane people! It never lasts longer than a week in our house. Rand doesn't even know who I am anymore. I really wish my sense of smell wasn't so intense. Our house stinks so bad!
I totally started showing way early too. Granted this is not my first baby, but I noticed it at 10 weeks. You couldn't tell much of a difference with clothes on though. I looked in the mirror today and you can definitely see my bump now. I will take a picture and post it soon.
I have no idea what I'm having. I would guess a boy because this pregnancy is so different than Avery's... but that doesn't always matter. I guess I don't really have a preference. All I wanted was a girl first :) It would be fun to have a boy next, but I would be totally fine with another girl too.
So that is what is up with me lately! Really exciting I know! I'll post again soon I promise!

Congratulations Hillary! Jason told me your news but I haven't seen you to say that. I'm sorry you've been so sick. I hope it gets better soon!
sorry you are having a rough time or it. I totally understand everything you described! and I wish I could be there to help! But I'm excited to hear what you are having and see pictures. Hope you feel better soon
You know I totally hold you responsible that I was THE LAST person to know this news!!! What is up with that?!!! But I am overjoyed to hear and I hope you start feeling better very soon -call me whenever you need to chat!!!
Ha! Thanks for reminding me that I HATE being pregnant ;) I remember showing really early with my second too. It seemed like my first pregnancy, I was dying to show ASAP and just looked chunky forever. And then during the second, hoping I can go just a little longer before being obvious. *Sigh*
Hope you continue to feel better so you can eat that poor, neglected ice cream in the freezer :)
so excited for you!! both of my last two pregnancies have been opposites and they have both been girls.... you just never know! I am so excited we get to do this together again. It's always more fun being pregnant with a sister in law... or in our case, two!
