Baby2 Update

The nausea is gone, but now the stomach issues have set in. I've also been getting some nasty headaches. I don't remember either of these issues being as intense with Emery. My hip is hurting as well. :( Okay enough with the griping. I'm super excited about this baby, I just have to get out all the frustrations every now and then.

My reflux and heart burn have started earlier as well this time. The reflux is alot worse than with Emery. The few times I have thrown up this pregnancy have been as a result of reflux more than nausea. NOT FUN! Sorry if that was TMI, but I am talking about pregnancy here.

We find out in a few weeks what we are having and I absolutely can not wait! I think we have finally decided on two names, one boy and one girl name. With Emery we only had one name and were going to use it either way, but this time I just couldn't decide on a gender neutral name as good as "Emery." :)

I have no feeling as to what this baby is either. I keep going back and forth between the two sexes.

I still haven't gained any weight with this baby yet. I know, I know I should be glad, and really I am, but my Dr. did say that it was about time to put on a few pounds.

Benji started hunting this week. 'sigh'....no really I don't mind (most of the time). AT LEAST this year he is in a hunting club in S.C. and not trekking back to Georgia or KY to hunt, which was what happened last year. So this year is a major improvement.

I also really love getting a freezer full of deer meat. Not having to buy ground beef at all during the winter is great!

I'm starting to meal plan so I'm going to try and post a little about that soon. We've got to cut down in some areas in preparation for this new bambino, and let's face I ain't gettin rid of cable.

p.s. I've noticed also with this baby in the oven I can not spell at all! I'm usually pretty good, but it must be the hormones. mercy.

My Nationality

I've figured it out, my heritage. I'm part Asian. I could eat any kind of Asian food everyday. Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Korean. Just give it too me!

Now someone please make me stop surfing blogs and finding recipes that make my stomach growl at 11pm....I can't take it anymore!

I'm definitely making this in the next few days... Asian Noodle Salad: From PDub.

My Heart Faced Girl

Here's one more from Emery's first day of MMO. It didn't upload when I added the first few. I love how heart shaped her little face is. I can only imagine another one of these precious faces running around my house. It's hard enough already to discipline one when they are that cute. :)

The Very First Of Many

Praise the Lord Emery started MMO this week!

Her first day of many many more first days of school.

She goes from 9-1 two days a week. Which is nice now but it is going to be a life saver as soon as baby2 comes along.

She is such a social girl, she thrives off of interaction with other people. I don't know who is more excited about this new experience me or her. Both days she came home saying "mama I have fun at school!"

So precious. :)

I was a tad emotional the first day we dropped her off, but that quickly turned to pure joy when I came back home to a quiet empty house and jumped back into bed the sleep some more!

Speaking of sleeping, this baby2 is sucking the very life out of me. I am wiped out still most of the time. I just can never get enough rest. I have also started getting some pretty intense headaches. I've been joking that I think that's a sign it's a boy. This go round has definitely proved to be more difficult.

I'm hoping that the second half of this pregnancy will prove easier than the first half.

Girls Labor Day Weekend

This weekend my sister and I headed to the beach with some of my friends from church.

We shopped. We ate. We slept late, laughed a lot, lounged on the beach, read trashy magazines and had a BLAST!

The plans are already being made for our Labor day trip next year, only difference is we will be adding an extra day. :)
