Isaiah's Brother or Sister

I am so behind on this thing which is bad because I told my mom I DO keep a journal and well, this is it. I guess I should record that we are expecting again. I will be 3 months pregnant the 17th of this month. I am already showing probably because I never really gave my poor abs enough time to recover from Isaiah.

Oliver and I are both really excited. I am sick of course, but not as bad as I was with Isaiah. Unfortunately, I feel like throwing up almost constantly, but I have not had horrible heartburn like I did from the begining with Izzy. I am also less nauseaus and have gotten sick so much less this time around. The truth though, is that I absolutely hate being pregnant. I don't mind the hip pain or all the aches I have from sports injuries that manifest themselves in full force while pregnant, I am actually looking forward to the pain of delivery (though hopefully my epidural serves me better this time) because it means no more nausea, and I don't mind the weight gain because I WILL lose it all. I love my unborn baby so much, I just struggle with understanding why women have to go through all the nausea and hunger pains and men get off free of pain, not that I want my husband to suffer. I think I have such a hard time because instead of focusing on getting through THIS pregnancy, I think about how I want a lot of kids and how I have to go through this again and again.

I am keeping positive though and hope I am not sick the entire time this pregnancy. The next few weeks will tell all.

On a positive note, we are having another baby! Oliver wants a girl and I don't really care. A girl would be fun, but I'm sure Isaiah would love a little brother so close to his age. We will find out the gender at the end of next month.

What day do you want me to bring dinner over? Tomorrow, Friday, or Sunday????? I will call to chat about what you cannot stand and what sounds absolutely delicious.

Are you loving it there? I love hearing about your funny stories. Your dog is gorgeous! I love the picture with him and little Izzy...

I almost said I can't believe you are pregnant again, but that's not true. I always said you would be the best mom! I just wish I could witness it up close and personal! Danny is looking for work and we will move anywhere for it! Any ideas????

We are trying again already. We feel the same as you, though Danny gets nervous of course :) What is it with men? All they have to do is provide temporally??? We take care of the rest :) hahahaha!!!

I love your guts lady! I miss you like crazy!
