Our baby is said to be the size of a peach this week, how cute, and only 1 more week until the 2nd trimester...I can't wait. Not only will we find out the sex of the baby during this trimester, but hopefully I'll get my energy back and not feel so sick. I've only actually got sick twice, but both times was after eating ground meat - guess I won't be trying it for a 3rd time.
So, not only am I pregnant, but my younger sister Carrie and many of my very close girlfriends are pregnant as well. Carrie is about to have her 3rd child - gender unknown, so it's very exciting that her little one and ours will be so close in age.
All else is going well. Nothing too crazy to report - except for the fact that Dylan got sick with Croup this week. Poor kid. Right in time for Halloween. So, because he sadly missed out on all the Halloween night festivities, we're planning on a Halloween egg hunt or something like that possibly on Saturday night. We'll dress him up and he'll hunt for candy filled eggs around the house. Pictures to come...

Week 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 & 12
WOW, I'm already in my 12th week and I've only written twice. Shame on me! You can tell it's my second child vs. my first, can't you?
As you can probably imagine, it's been pretty tough. Trying to care for a 2.5 year old when being SUPER tired and not feeling all that great is certainly not ideal, but it could be way worse. I have not been very sick, which I'm extremely grateful for, but have definitely been more nauseous this time around vs. when I was pregnant with Dylan. No morning sickness, just really nauseous starting around 4pm and lasting until I go to bed - which mind you, is usually promptly at 8:15 after we put Dylan down. I want to say "poor Aaron," since he hasn't seen me past 8:15 in about 7 weeks, but really it's "poor Ali." Talk about not being able to catch up on "life," hence why this is only the 2nd blog post I've written since finding out. And similar to when I was pregnant with Dylan I want nothing to do with food. Obviously I'm still eating, but nothing is appetizing, particularly red meat, and I tend to feel sick after eating. Ugh.
However, now that we're nearing the 2nd trimester it should get a little better. I've actually already noticed a slight difference in my fatigue - I emphasize slight, but in return I'm starting to get some headaches and the dizziness when standing up too quickly is happening. Oh, and that thing we all call a "baby bump" is certainly there. I swear it actually started to form around 7 weeks and there is definitely no hiding it now. So it's a good thing we can now share it with everyone.
Our 12 week ultrasound was yesterday, 10/25/11 and it went perfectly. He/She is looking great says the doctors. It's heartbeat is beating fast and he/she has got both arms and legs. :) Awe, how cute! Just about another 6 weeks until we can find out the sex...and yes, we WILL be finding out. You know me...I'm a planner. Until next week...Love to all
