Out Little Munchkin





As most of you have probably already guessed..... Yes, I am pregnant! I am 12 weeks along and due the end of October. I went to my first doctor's appointment last month and was very relieved to see the heart beating in the ultra sound. Then, today, I had my second appointment and heard the heart beating. What a relief to both Ryan and me. We didn't want to get too excited this time till I reached the 12 week mark and heard the heart beat with my own ears. So that is why I haven't been feeling very well and just trying to survive. This pregnancy is quite the opposite from Drew's. I was working with Drew and was a little nauseous but got through the days just fine. Now, I am not working and home and can barely get the cleaning, laundry, and cooking done. It has been very exhausting. I try to go on walks and lucky to get through the neighborhood. I am nauseous all morning and into the afternoon and lucky if I get dinner made. Let's just say that Take Out is my best friend for the time being. Hopefully I can get back my energy and appetite. I gained 3 pounds at my first appointment and today, I lost 2 pounds. My jaw about dropped. I thought I would have gained 5 because of all the take out we have been eating. This is all uncharted territory because with Drew I gained 12 pounds in my first trimester. Yeah, I wasn't about to repeat that but was dang surprised to have lost weight. So we are all surviving. I am lucky to have a sweet husband who helps out and a terrific little boy that entertains himself most of the time!
