And Then There Were Two

Yeah it was about that time.  I am totally excited that we will get another baby for Christmas this year!!!  I have waited a little long to post just to make sure everything was okay, but it is, and I have discovered that I am a pretty good secret keeper, although it is much easier that most of my friends on here I don't see face to face :)  In 4 weeks we will know what the baby is, and I am freaking out because it seems like time is just passing me by.  I am enjoying this pregnancy much more, mainly because I don't have the issues that I did the first time.  I have learned major lessons like this one - Don't eat whatever I want just because I am preggers.  I have only gained 5lbs and can still fit in my skinny jeans where as last time, I was already up a size. Weird though how your stomach seems to expand overnight and then people don’t know if you’re pregnant or just fat. 

Now is it a boy or a girl? Who knows, and frankly, I have no preference. My first thought was that it was a boy and I am thrilled with that because I love my little boy and he would have a brother and I would already have his clothes covered for the first 2 years of his life. But if it’s a girl like Brad thinks, that’s lovely too, and I would love her and teach her to be a strong feminist just like her mommy.

I just really am excited, and I am now allowing myself to be excited about this without too much fear. I know what to expect this time, and it makes things so much easier. So far anyway. Ask me in another 10 weeks :)
