12 wks. along

I'm 12 weeks along. Thus far has been very similar to my first pregnancy. Although, like the Dr. said- I will be showing sooner on the second child, and i am feeling it. I haven't yet gained weight, but I definitely am feeling a pooch. I have been nauseous and thrown up a couple times. The first time was the worst throw up i have ever experienced. I completely forgot to eat (not to mention, nothing sounded good at all). So I could feel it coming on and I threw up over and over again. There was absolutely nothing in me to throw up (except maybe some pretzels from the day before). Acid burned my throat and started coming out of my nose. And when I thought I was done, yellow acid seemed to find it's way out again. It burned and for like 20 minutes after too- the worst! K I'm done with my vomit story. I make sure that I am continually eating so that when the urge does come on- I won't have to experience that sensation again. I get occasional night migraines that also make me want to throw up. But let's be honest- It could be a lot worse. We saw the heartbeat when little baby was about 9 weeks old, and I go in again at the end of this month.

Many people ask me what we want- boy or girl? And I have wanted both at one point or another. So my answer is honestly, we will be happy with either! Darren gets to pick the name this time and he kinda has me worried, but I know even if I don't like the name first off that it will grow on me and I will love the little child no matter the name, right?

Another question I get asked is were we planning on it? and how far apart will they be? Well, without getting too personal I'll answer best I can. I had an IUD and the Dr. said to take the IUD out a few months before we planned on having another baby. Well we both wanted me to get pregnant by the end of the year, and I decided to get it taken out. Since he said it takes a few months for the hormone to get out of the body, we weren't as cautious as we should have been. And I found out I was pregnant all but a month later. I remember when I told Dr. Thompson he was so surprised! "What? we just barely got that thing taken out!" So yes, a surprise but I guess we can't be too surprised. And Tylee and little baby will be 21 months apart. Which is perfect for us.

FOODS I WILL EAT: Popcicles; Fruits; Arbys; Carbs; Tacos; Lifesavers; Water with ice is soo good; and ironically: i HATE pizza (which is usu. my fav.) Little Ceasers might not be so bad; at the current moment i want PANDA EXPRESS.
