Jason and I are so excited that we are expecting baby #2 on December 28th.  Ethan isn’t quite so sure, as he is not a big fan of mommy touching and holding other babies or young kids.  We have already started reading “new baby” books which he is really enjoying and he seems to be much more interested in babies lately.  We will work on this more as the arrival day approaches.

My first trimester has been much more difficult this time than it was when I was pregnant with Ethan.  I think it is just the combination of not feeling well and having to take care of a very active toddler that makes is hard.  I have been very tired and nauseous, but not actually sick.  I took a nap almost every day when Ethan did, and joked that I fell asleep before he did.  But since my 2nd trimester has started I have felt a lot better and haven’t been quite as tired and can function without taking a nap every day.  I really felt good most of my pregnancy with Ethan and hope this one will be the same way.  I know it will be more difficult to play with Ethan, especially on the floor.

We have decided that we are going to find out if we are having a boy or a girl.  We loved that it was a surprise with Ethan but this time we want to be as prepared as possible!  I might be slightly terrified of the idea of taking care of Ethan and a newborn!  Jason and I both have a feeling it is a girl, and we are anxious to find out in August.

My belly is huge already, there is no denying we are having another!  This is not a very good picture of me but you can tell how huge my belly is already.
