Now for the Exciting News....

So I had to wait a few weeks to tell our exciting news.

Yes, we are expecting BAYB #2, hence the belly-buldge in my pictures.  We were supposed to find out what we were having the day before we left for Chicago, but it seems this little one would not cooperate, even after being shaken, poked and prodded for 10 minutes.

So we waited 4 more weeks to hopefully see what we are having.  And after being poked and prodded and shaken up a little bit, this little one would not uncross their legs and sat indian-style for the whole appointment.  However, the doctor did find one little thing and now we are 90% positive that this little one is going to be a

BOY

Seton Allen Cherry will be making his appearance in the end of March.


We could not be more excited and thrilled that HE is happy and healthy and growing.  I am still in shock, as I was more than 100% positive that it was another girl, but it seems I was 100% wrong.  We are already planning the nursery and I'm already wanting to spend lots and lots of money on clothes, since I have literally nothing for a boy, not even uni-sex onsies to put this little guy in.   

As for me, this pregnancy has been much harder than my first, and everyone says it's due to having a boy.  I guess they are right!  With Libby, the morning sickness hit it's peak around week 10 and I felt amazing on exactly week 14.  With this little guy, the morning sickness hit it's peak (up until then) around week 10 and I kept getting worse (although it was not just morning, it was all day and all night sickness!).  By week 14, I was worse than before, and my headaches were so bad, you could find me every night either in bed or laying on the couch with a caffeine-free diet coke and wash-rag on my forehead trying to have some sanity.  My poor Libby girl suffered quite a bit with me being so sick, but we are on the up swing and I am finally starting to feel better....I am week 18 now.  I still have horrible headaches but they aren't as frequent.  My morning sickness has started to get better and I can now stand to look at food again, for the most part.

Pictures to come soon.  It seems that with baby #2, I'm "poking out" way earlier than I was with Libby and am still trying to come to terms with it!!
