Well I'm officially 6 weeks along now and the symptoms are officially here. I'm tired ALL the time, my stomach is constantly nauseous, I'm having cravings like crazy and some serious aversions that vary by the day.
In a way it's a good thing, an indication that Beanie is growing strong. In a much more tangible way, it sucks. I forgot how miserable this part of pregnancy is. I can barely change diapers right now without gagging.
Futher, I am trying to get my needed protein in and it is a struggle. I find that I'm eating way more than I need to and I'm a bit freaked that I'm going to start packing on the pounds because of it.
Somehow I need to find the strength and stamina to be a good mom and wife in the midst of this. Thank God for Jeff! He's been a big help around the house and with my nonsensical cravings. Hopefully this season will pass quickly and not drag another 7 weeks.
So my goals for today: clean the bathrooms, clean the microwave, get outside, get in a run. Hopefully that's not too ambitious. But then when you feel like crap, most things are.

I was like Baby, baby, BABY
So I'm pregnant again :-)
Happy to be so and even more happy that it only took two months this time. Everyone knows too. Apparently we can't keep our mouths shut haha.
Baby bean will be joining us in October. Judah will be 26 months old by then. I think it will work out well.
Today I am 5 weeks, 5 days pregnant. So far I feel a bit nauseous off and on, a little more tired than usual, I have heartburn but other than that nada. Praise God! I'm really hoping for an easy first trimester this time. I want to be able to continue to eat right and exercise.
I gained a lot of weight with J, a LOT. I refuse to do that this time. I want to be one of those lucky women who shows up at her 6 week post-partum check up wearing my skinny jeans and looking like there is no way I just had a baby. To do that I need to gain the RIGHT amount of weight. And that means self-control. Discipline is my new best friend.
I think it's a girl. Just putting it out there now. We'll see. It can't be though, we can't agree on girl names. She will be "little miss no-name."
I have my first appointment on March 4th. It is with the midwives again and I don't know what to expect. They are so minimally invasive and don't do a lot of testing that an OB would. I don't know if I will even get an ultrasound to date the pregnancy. It's a bit nerve wracking. I would love some confirmation of this little one's existence other than a stick I had to pee on lol.
So that's it for now. Baby mania here we go!
