#2...CHECK!!!!!

#2. Get pregnant with my 2nd child. CHECK!!!!


The REAL reason I haven't posted or done anything else in 3 months. I have felt like CRAP!

We found out Thanksgiving morning that I was pregnant. Talk about being thankful that day! We ended up telling all our close family that day. Just couldn't keep it in and everyone knew I had been pestering Travis for months (years, really) to have another child.

When I was prego with G-Man, I wasn't sick one single day. NOT ONE! I had heartburn in the 2nd and 3rd trimester (because I was bigger than a barn and so was he!) but that was about it.

With THIS one...I've been sick. I've been tired. I've had raging heartburn from week 6. Oh...and I look at LEAST 5 months pregnant. You know what they say about getting pregnant with your second...you show a lot sooner (blah blah blah your uterus is like a balloon blah blah blah). It's freakin' true. Either that or I'm pregnant with triplets (please God please don't let that be true. My husband will divorce me). It's getting EXTREMELY hard to disguise the huge belly bump I've got going on. I'll post some pictures later.

So I've lounged around the house. I've done a bunch of NOTHING. I'm either sick (that whole morning/noon/night sickness finally stopped around Xmas) or tired and that is a bad combo to try and get things accomplished.

I'm 11 weeks today and ready to be in the comfortable 2nd trimester. 2nd trimesters are good. Especially when 3rd trimesters are in the HOLY HELL HOT OF SUMMER (I'm due August 6th).

But all I can say is that this baby is worth it. I know it could be FAR worse than it is. I know that I could NOT be pregnant or not able to get pregnant. I know I could be sick for all 40 weeks. I know that there are millions of women out there who would trade places with me in a second to be able to be pregnant.

So all I have to say is....thank you God for this wonderful blessing. I truly AM blessed.

Congratulations, Julie! I am SOOO incredibly happy for you and Travis!

May God bless you, and I hope you feel better soon. I had terrible morning sickness with Claire.

Maybe you're having a girl??? ;-)

Congratulations Julie! I am so excited for you and hope that you have a healthy baby and a healthy pregnancy. Any reaction from G-Man yet as to a new baby brother or sister?
