I guess I'm going to have to change the title of this blog .....

…. because Goo #2 will be joining us in January! :)

Our surprise little blessing, who we call “Poppy,” has currently been baking for about 11 weeks.

Some questions we’ve been asked lately:

Are you sick again?

Lucky me, yes, yes I am. We’ve been to the ER twice and have been medicated since week 6. This: http://www.babycenter.com/404_is-it-true-that-morning-sickness-is-a-sign-of-a-healthy-preg_10323716.bc
- makes me feel slightly better, and we’re *hoping* that because this started a little earlier than last time, that it might let up a bit, but so far, no luck. :(

Will you find out what you’re having?

You bet! We actually had an u/s at 10 weeks to make sure it wasn’t twins (Big PHEW! there), and if they could have seen then, we would already know! Alas, it looks like we’ll have to wait for our 20 week screening, sometime in early September.

Any guesses?

At first, it really felt like another boy, but now, I’m not so sure. T says that he “only makes boys,” but he says a lot of things. We’ll see! Either way, we’re hoping for a happy, healthy baby. We ask Goo if it’s a boy or a girl and he says “yes.” Smart kid!

When are you due?

Ironically, on January 19th. This was also my mom’s due date when she was pregnant with me, although I arrived on the 14th. (I’ve always been an over-achiever like that!) Goo will be almost exactly 2.5 years old.

Will Goo and the baby go to the same daycare?

Yes! Thank God. Seriously – Thank God! Our daycare provider was the second person I told, because we love her SO much and really, really don’t want to lose them. Thankfully, by the time Poppy comes, she’ll have room for our little one. Another super big sigh of relief, there! :) 

Does Goo understand?

The short answer is, not really. He LOVES babies, and I have no doubt he’ll be an excellent big brother. I try to explain it by pointing at my belly, and saying “Baby,” but he just points at his and says “Batman,” so ….. :) Gotta love that Goo! Hopefully when my belly is more of a “baby belly,” he’ll start to understand a bit more.

So …. Wish us luck in our new adventure! We’re so excited and (barring the 24/7 nausea) life is good!
