Update on Baby #2

I am almost officially 11 weeks along (Thursday). Time is flying with this pregnancy so far...just like it did with Logan. Sure this time, Logan is helping to pass the time along. :)

I am nauseated, however not as bad as last time. Ever since Logan has learned to stand in his crib, I find it is affecting me a bit more. Why, you ask? Because....since he can stand, he is waking up easier....and therefore wakes up earlier in the morning. He used to sleep until 8:30 or even 9:30. Lately it has been 7:30. So sleeping in definitely helps. Not 'having' to go anywhere is also good. I find on days that I have to go somewhere I get sick. Maybe my mind knows I have to get ready and move around....who knows. But like I said, all in all, it is not as bad. Sometimes it seems that it is every other day. :)

I crave cheese....John has caught me just chewing on a block of cheese. I also need to have my meat. This is very similar to Logan. Last time I craved milk and this time....not as much. I think I craved milk more because for so may years I couldn't drink it due to Chron's disease. I find that if I have a restaurant or particular food in mind, I need to have it. This is similar with Logan, but I am noticing it a lot more. Today I was closer to Portillo's (for those of you not in the Chicagoland area....they have the best Italian Beef sandwiches)....so I had to have it...along with cheese fries. Unfortunately one of the things I need to have when I am driving is french fries. Normally I don't eat them a lot...so of course this is an unhealthy 'new' bad habit. But, I don't have them a lot or every day...and I hope that after this morning sickness is over I won't feel the need to have to have them.

I have my doctor appointment on Thursday, so I will update more then. I can't wait to hear the baby's heartbeat again. :) At that time I will have John take a picture of my belly. I did not get one at the very beginning. At the time I got pregnant I was still +13 pounds from my pre-Logan weight....so my stomach was not as flat as it was before....but there is definitely a difference in my stomach now than when I found out. Instead of pulling out my summer clothes, I just pulled out my maternity clothes (which I love that wardrobe the best!).

Until Thursday.....
