This may be an announcement for some. Eric and I are expecting our second child! We are very excited. We have managed to not tell anyone and are going to try and keep it that way until Thanksgiving. I'll be almost twelve weeks at that point and it'll be safe to tell everyone. Plus we want to announce it with Makenzie wearing a "big sister" t-shirt. I can't wait for everyone's reactions. Especially my parents since we were just at their house and I managed to not tell them. I'm not very good at keeping secrets. I'm writing this as a memoir of how I'm feeling and how my pregnancy is progressing.
Oh, first trimester how I loath you! Although you are the messenger of great news that I am expecting a second child. I remember feeling slightly nauseous with a LOT of heartburn when I was pregnant with Makenzie. This time around I am feeling worse and worse everyday. Today, October 25th, I am seven weeks pregnant. Today I've thrown up twice and yesterday we had to pull over on the side of the highway for me to throw up on the way home from my parents house. I've been napping almost daily for the past month even before I found out I was pregnant. I have little to no motivation to do anything but lay on the couch. My temper is short and my patience is very low. It's much harder this time around having to take care of a child instead of just going to work. When I was pregnant with Makenzie I worked a high pace and high stress job so I didn't have much time to think about not feeling well. It seems that now all I do is think about how awful I feel. I'm working hard at eating healthier, slower, and more often as a way to curb my nausea and vomiting. I was only sick once with Makenzie and I've already been sick three times in two days this time around. My mother was sick through her first trimester with both of my brothers and was only sick with me once.
