yes please.  Not incredibly tired as much as I am incredibly LAZY and UNMOTIVATED  I can't seem to find my MoJo.  

What I miss:  

Eating like normal

Food Cravings:   

Pretty much NOTHING sounds good to me.  Or if it does sound good it doesn't taste as good as it sounded when I wanted it.  Except I could eat 100 lbs of garden cucumbers right now and I have NONE cause I didn't plant a garden this year.  bummer. 

Food Aversions: 
Still just about everything once it's on my plate.  Certain things are good once then I'm over it again.  very annoying.

Still nauseous, still lazy, food aversions, easily annoyed.

Best Moment This Week:

Sharing our news with Family & Friends at Addison's  birthday party & again when we made it FB official.

What I’m looking forward to:  

Week 12, hopefully feeling more normal

 Addison:
Now that we've shared the news we are talking to her more about being a big sister, she seems excited and can't wait to teach a baby how to play, and use the potty!

Bumpdates Baby #2: Week 9

7/24/13

eww don't mind the dirty toothpaste mirror, its been cleaned :)

How Far Along:  
9 weeks, we've reached official fetus status

Size of baby:
A green olive  

Total Weight Gain:
Down 3 lbs, probably due to the constant upset stomach and food aversions!

Stretch Marks: 

None

Maternity Clothes:
nope  

Gender:
Dunno

Movement:
None.

Sleep:
So tired. I could pretty much nap every few hour right now.

What I miss:  
Food sounding good.

Food Cravings:   

Watermelon is still delicious.  Pretty much anything cold and 'fresh'.  Mom had some garden cucumbers that were fantastic the other day!

Food Aversions: 
Baby is still a coffee hater, only took a few days to really kick the caffeine headaches to the curb from the withdraw!  I've experienced a lot of "oh that sounds good" get it on my plate and I can only manage a few bites.  Hoping that doesn't last the whole pregnancy!

Symptoms:
Still nauseous, still exhausted.  Incredibly unmotivated to do much of anything.   I even called into work on Monday cause I was in such a funk between the tired and the sick!

Best Moment This Week:

First Dr. Appointment was on Friday.  I don't know why but they are incredibly stingy with ultrasounds here.  So we won't get to see baby other than at the anatomy scan somewhere around 18 weeks.  Bummer.  But he said so far everything looks good, he said my uterus is the size it should be at 8 weeks and due to the fact that I have a tilted uterus that I may just wake up pregnant sometime between 10 and 12 weeks when my uterus decides to tip forward like its supposed to be.  Yay for hiding it while I can!

What I’m looking forward to:  

We decided that we will tell our family & friends about the pregnancy this weekend at Addison's birthday party.  By way of her getting a "big sister" shirt as one of her gifts!  Interwebz announcement to come soon after.

 Addison:
We've still been not saying much about it to her, we wanted to prevent a toddler slip-up of her telling anyone.  She was pretty set last night that she would like a baby brother but this changes from week to week.

Bumpdates: Baby #2: Week 8

7/17/13

How Far Along:  
8 weeks

Size of baby:
A raspberry

Total Weight Gain:
depends when I hop on the scale, between 1lb and none.

Stretch Marks: 

None

Maternity Clothes:
nope  

Gender:
Baby doesn't even know yet.

Movement:
None.

Sleep:
Still no problems sleeping but waking up in the middle of the night feeling sick..blah  Also the eshaustion is starting to hit me now, instead of "doing stuff" when I get home from work that needs done I find myself not caring what my house looks like and lying on the couch.  Which is great seeing how we have a 3 year old's B-day party to get ready to throw at the house in a week and a half and quite honestly my house is TRASHED.

What I miss:  
This week, not feeling queasy.  

Food Cravings:   

fruit, preferably COLD watermellon, strawberries & blueberries.  Yum, that's kind of the only thing I actually WANT to eat.  That and pizza rolls, they sound fantastic.

Food Aversions: 
This baby hates coffee, It's been over a week since I've had a coffee it just doesn't sound good (which is unheard of for me) and when I tried to have one out of habit - blech.  Not cool baby, not cool!  

Symptoms:
for sure experiencing some 'morning sickness' thats lasting all damn day long, luckily no vomiting but sometimes I'd rather vomit than feel like I was going to all day!  Also feeling pretty tired the last few days.  10 hour work days + 2 hours of commuting is going to kill me.

Best Moment This Week: & Addison:

Addison was nosing under our bed and found a shoe box that I had stuffed the cards I got from when she was born into.  There was also a stack of photos from my baby shower where I was ready to explode and our 3D u/s pictures.  She looked through the pictures with me and one of the photo's was just a up close face shot of me smiling and she wanted to keep it.  So I let her carry it around the house with her.  She kept saying "mommy you were so happy, look how happy you were with me in your belly" .  God that girl is so cute.  She curled up next to me on the couch the next day and said "I wanna get back in your belly"  Sorry chick a newborn is bad enough not going to be carrying around a 3 year old in there!

What I’m looking forward to:  

First doctor appointment on Friday!
