A few details!

As you all well know Don and I are expecting are second. Thank you for the congratulations and the support. We are so so excited. I marvel a lot at what it's going to be like to have two kids, to see Brody as a big brother. Part of it is bittersweet in that it means my baby is getting big enough to be a big brother. 

As far as the details go. I am 6 weeks along. Very early. I greatly covet your prayers for protection over our little pea pod. However, I am not someone who can keep a secret for 12 weeks, not a secret about a baby anyway. My first Dr. appt. is next Wednesday, Feb. 4th. I am NOT the least bit excited. ;) Hehehe....

I feel pretty good. Actually I felt great up until this week and a few things hit me like a ton of bricks. I will start out with the fact that, to date, I have had no morning sickness. Actually it's been the opposite, I am hungry ALOT! Actually almost all the time it feels. Which is a little concerning but I am trying to be careful what I eat or at least watch my portions when I give in to something naughty. :) As far as a couple of the negatives, well I hit a wall this week and have been really tired. I know I was tired with Brody but not quite like this, I am sure some of it has to do with having a toddler. :) Also my emotions went a little crazy. However, if that is the worst of it then I can deal. I have been praying a lot about managing my emotions while I am pregnant so that it's not excuse to be crabby. I have also been continuing to exercise and the days that I get over the hump of being tired I almost always feel better afterwards. This week was a little tough. I have only gotten to the gym twice but I am happy to say that I have continued running and that feels really good. I am going to talk the midwife next week to find out how long into my pregnancy I can run and hopefully I can keep it up. So that's it. It will be fun to blog and report about the doctor visits.
