Goodbye My Favorite Pair of Jeans...

Today is Friday. On Tuesday I wore my favorite pair of jeans to dinner with my friend Brenda. This morning I tried to slip them on, and while they "fit" it looked like there was a sausage stuffed into a really cute pair of Ann Taylor Loft jeans. Honestly, how can I fit into them on Tuesdsay, but 3 days later nada. I am 7 weeks along today, and I have heard people say you show way faster the second time around but this is ridiculous. Anyway, since I will probably look like I am 8 months pregnant tomorrow, I am including a picture of what I looked like last week. So I have a fond memory of a newly pregnant body.

Happy Anniversary...

Tomorrow is our anniversary. It's amazing how quickly 4 years flies by, especially when you have a house, a toddler, a baby on the way, and a recently departed dog. Dan, you are the love of my life and you drive me crazy all at the same time. I love you.

So sick...

I was so sick today. I felt like I was hungover and seasick at the same time. It's weird because I never ever remember feeling like this with Harrison. Maybe it means its a girl? Or I could have just gotten lucky with Harrison.

I told my bosses today and they were great. So the cat is pretty much out of the bag. Most of our family knows and anyone in NYC that will listen to my mother knows.

I am hoping that this sickness subsides soon. I may be crazy, or bloated but I also feel like I am starting to show a bit. Dan says I am crazy, but Dan ALWAYS thinks I am crazy.

5 Weeks today...

Today I am five weeks pregnant. To celebrate being 5 weeks pregnant I am pretty dizzy and nauseous. And starving. I don't ever remember being so hungry early on with Harrison. Most people say your 2nd pregnancy is harder, but so far I have been okay, so I guess I am just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Now we are in the process of telling people, but only a few. I don't want to tell many people until after our first ultrasound on September 11th- but because I am my mother's daughter its been pretty hard to keep it to myself!

Luckily today is Friday and its a 3 day weekend (Monday is Victory over Japan- an important RI holiday). Have a great weekend!

State of Shock...

When I saw the first, second and third pregnancy test all read "pregnant", I was in shock. S-H-O-C-K. Then the excitment set in. Then more shock. Then finally, just happiness. We were thinking of starting to try to get pregnant in August, to have a May baby. Apparently we jumped the gun a bit. What are the chances of of conceiving on the first "try" two times in a row? Pretty good for us I guess. Finding out on Cape Cod with 15 of my in-laws is another story altogether. It's ironic because I have never in my life needed a drink more than last Friday.

Despite the shock, we are so very excited to welcome a new little person into our life. I think Harrison will be a great big brother, if he doesn't try to squeeze or maul his little brother or sister.

I am due in April, which seems a lifetime away. I will start to post pictures next week, to track my pregnancy. So stay tuned. (Below are some Cape pictures)...
