Cooking





We are expecting Baby #2 in April!  (April 1st to be exact) And we are so excited! 
So I am 12 weeks and we already had an ultrasound so we got to see our baby moving and kicking around and that was so much fun! 



A little about the pregnancy...
I have been crazy sick! All day long! But I know when my head is buried in the toilet that it means things are going the way they are supposed to. So even though I'm miserable I'm thankful at the same time. And James as been so good. He will come in and rub my back for me and say "Ok Mommy? Ok?" but sometimes he will mimic me.  I also have been extremely tired, light headed and dizzy. 

But things are looking better.  I only get sick every other day or every 3rd day.  
I also have major food aversions. Meat, the main one being chicken (bleh!) The thought, look, smell and sound (yes chicken has a sound) of it makes me sick! Things that are overly sweet, anything that has a strong smell, veggies....

I still don't have any real cravings, it's just whatever sounds good that I think I can keep down. 

Other than that James is excited to be a big brother and David is excited to be a dad again. 


Edit:  I guess technically my due date has changed slightly... the baby is measuring big so the due date is March 29th...but for simplicity I'm sticking with April in general. (but I won't be sad if I go into labor early) 
Also I qualify for a VBAC which is my goal but the only way I can do it is if I go into labor on my own and of course there are no complications. 
Also, also...if you were wondering this pregnancy is a complete 180 from James.  I was hardly sick and felt generally good
