There is so much to say. I don't even know where to start. I might as well officially tell you all that YES we are expecting our second child on December 21, 2008! It came a little bit sooner than we had planned but we are thrilled! A little nervous and anxious. I hope that we can be good parents. We love Nolan so much and can't wait to find out what we are having. We really don't care either way. We just want a healthy baby. I'm sure deep down inside Jake still wants a boy but he would be happy if it were a girl.
I am 11 weeks along and feeling it. I have been so miserable. I have been going three days without showering or getting off the couch because I have felt so crappy. The only thing that I would get up for was to feed Nolan, change his diaper, and put him down for bed. It has been so hard having Nolan to take care of when I can't even take care of myself.
Funny story. I wasn't feeling well at all last week and I was just waiting for my body to let me throw up. Well, it came. So I ran to the bathroom and didn't even have time to shut the door before I started. As expected Nolan came crawling on in and was trying to reach over in to the toilet. So as I am throwing up I had to block Nolan and not get mad that he was laughing hysterically every time I threw up. All you ladies who get sick while your pregnant know how horrible it is to throw up. It is so much different than just having the flu. I always feel like my whole body is going to give out.
When I told Jake about it when he got home he just laughed. I didn't think it was that funny at the time but now I can laugh about it. The joys of being pregnant. I wish I could be one of those mom's who loves to be pregnant. It is a good thing you kind of forget how miserable you were with the last one or else I wouldn't be having any more kids.
This pregnancy has been slightly different than the first. I only lost 3 pounds last week instead of the 6 I lost in one week with Nolan. Maybe it will get better with each pregnancy. Right!
Another cork about being pregnant the second time around is you start showing a lot earlier than the first. I remember with Nolan that I didn't really start showing until I was about 5 or 6 months. Not this time.....I have what you would call a full belly. You know, it looks like I have just eaten a really big meal and can't suck it in. So sad. I'm not going to be looking good in a bathing suit this summer. I'm sure when people see me they don't dare to ask if I'm pregnant because they can't tell if I'm pregnant or if I just gained a few pounds in the mid section. I love the stares I get. I'll post a picture of me when I hit 12 weeks.
To rap it all up, we are so excited. It will be crazy to have a Christmas baby but I think we will survive. The timing couldn't be better. Jake will be done with tests and then he will be around to help me with the most difficult time, the first two weeks. Also, there will be plenty of time for the baby to be on a great schedule before Jake has to take Step 1 of the boards in June. It will be a crazy year but we are looking forward to Nolan having a buddy! Thanks for all of your comments and emails. It is great to know that people care!

I am so sorry you are sick; it is the worst isn't it!?! I have been right in your shoes. All I can say is nap whenever Nolan does...it helps a little. I had to change Dax's diapers by the bathroom so I could make a quick detour from changing to do my thing and go back to changing the diaper...since he got to witness it all he started pretending that he was throwing up in the toilet and then he would get toilet paper and wipe his face the way I always did. I eventually thought it was funny.
