The cat is out of the bag...

Yep, we're expecting again! I am 9 weeks today, so we still have a few weeks left in the first tri, but we have had 2 great ultrasounds and have seen and heard a healthy heartbeat. Our loss was right at 12 weeks, so I'm still nervous, but everything is looking good so far.

So here is a quick summery of information answering all the questions everyone always asks :)

We are due November 23rd, and yes we are very excited! Yes, I do know my hands will be full, but I enjoy the chaos of having a house full of kiddos, and we wanted all our kids close in age. This will be our last, unless we have some sort of miracle baby down the road. Brandon is hoping for another boy, and is pretty much in denial that having a girl is a possibility. I don't care what we have, so long as we have a healthy baby! I would like a girl, since this will be our last, but I have also envisioned our family full of little boys, so it's hard to see myself being the mom to a little girl. Either way, I will be very excited! I do feel different this time around than I did with the boys. I am completely drained of any energy I may have had by noon. I am quite certain that has a little to do with keeping up with a 1 and 2 year old though. I also had some morning sickness this time around, which I didn't with the boys (actually with all 3 prior pregnancies, which were all boys!). I still feel sick on occasion, but it is starting to subside quite a bit. I have a lot of food aversions, and have trouble eating meat, but I'm craving all the same foods I have with my previous pregnancies (mainly honey comb cereal, McDonald's cheeseburgers, and pizza!). I have also already started with my sciatica pain. It got really bad with both boys so this time I've decided to see a chiropractor for it.

So I think that's about it. The ultrasound picture was done between 6-7 weeks so it just looks like a blob. But by now s/he should look like a tiny little person with a gigantic head!
