5 weeks!

How Far Along: 5 Weeks
Size of Baby: Peppercorn, < 1/4 in
Total Weight Gained/Lost: 0
Maternity Clothes: Not yet, but I am oh so ready for them. I love maternity clothes. I would wear them for the rest of my life if no one would notice. They are so comfy!
Movement: Not yet
Sleep: Oh my goodness, I have not been sleeping good at all. I quit sleeping on my stomach the day I found out and that has been keeping me up. I pee every couple of hours which is annoying. And, I've been getting so hot at night. Hopefully things will get better
What I miss: Sleeping like a baby
Cravings: Hot sauce already! On EVERYTHING!!
     Aversions: None so far. I
        don't think I had any with Rory either
Symptoms: Super Duper tired. I nap with Rory just about every day. I've been extremely bloated on and off. I look like I'm about 20 weeks some days just because of my bloated bowels. Its terrible. I've been a tad sore on my left side and crampy every now and then. Oh, and my boobies are SSSOOOORE! They throb now and again, are a bit swollen, and my nipples cannot be touched! Grow Babies Grow!
Highlights from this week: We have already picked out a name! Ha! It was actually Don's idea...WOW!! It may change, probably will, but for now we have both a boy and a girl name... middle names and all and that has been so fun! Told ya we were excited!

Its Still Sinking In!

It has almost been a week since I found out that we were pregnant and it still doesn't seem real. I continue to secretly double check the positive pregnancy tests like every other day just to make sure. I still expect my period to start any day now... Ah! I get giddy just thinking about it! Don and I have been "trying"--or rather "not preventing"-- to get pregnant for over 6 months now, so this news is so exciting and heartwarming! Rory has been such a joy and blessing in our lives and I absolutely cannot wait to have another one to love and adore as much as I do him!

What a Surprise!

Welcome! As you've probably guessed by now by the title of this blog...


DON AND I ARE EXPECTING!
WE'RE HAVING A BABY!
RORY IS GOING TO BE A BIG BROTHER!
THERE'S A BUN IN MY OVEN!
MY EGGO IS PREGGO!
Ah...that feels good to say (or write). Get the point? We are beyond excited and can't wait to see what the future has in store for us and our growing family!!
    I found out this morning before I went and took my final exam. That was such a bad idea!! I was so anxious the whole time thinking of ways I was going to tell Don. After lots of thinking, of course I go with the easiest option... I bought him an early Father's Day card and put the pregnancy test in there. I demanded he open the card early because there was something in there he would definitely need! He opened it, and loved it. He was a bit shocked for oh about 2 minutes until Charter rang the doorbell and ruined our moment. Ha! But atleast we have cable again! :)
    Anywho...Check back often to get updates on Baby #2 and how Don and I are adjusting (Well, mainly just me)! Our first blog was all about Rory... Our second about Us Parents... so now... a blog all about Baby #2. Rory has his own blog, we have ours, so it only make since for B2 to have his/her own too! We are so soo sooo excited!!
