The reason why I've been such a BAD Blogger......

Baby Henry due April 20, 2011!
baby Henry
I have always been pretty good about keeping up with my blog, but this school year I have been SO drained, I haven't had any energy! I couldn't figure out what was making me so tired.....then on Labor Day, I got the reason

We were SO surprised, but super excited, and I then understood why I have been sooooo tired. I was anxious to go to the doctor, but the earliest appointment was the following Friday, I had to wait over a week and a half to see how things were! I was so nervous for some reason. I was so happy when we were called back for a sonogram and we saw that sweet picture! We got a perfect report from the doctor!
Last week I went back to the doctor and got to hear my sweet baby's heart beating at 150 bpm. It was such a sweet sound. Once again everything looked perfect!
This pregnancy has been very different from my first. Besides being so tired, I have been so nausea us. It is finally starting to get a little better, but I defiantly don't feel myself. The first couple of weeks all I could eat were bean and cheese nachos- weird! Along with that one craving, I have so many food aversions. Certain things make me sick to even think about: BBQ, Chickfila (weird b/c it's usually my fav), chicken, Chinese food, pizza, milk...the list goes on. I also feel like I started to show right away. I am now at that really in between stage where I just look fat, no fun! Anyway, I am ready to feel better, but I know that the yuckiness means that my body is doing what it should. We will find out the gender in December, but Kris has the idea to have the sonographer write the gender on a piece of paper in an envelope so we can open it up on Christmas morning, I am just not sure I can wait that long!
Oh, I have also have had some crazy dreams, like dreaming the baby (which was a boy) came out looking like a fox and I was the only one that found it odd in the dream-weird- I should write them down....that is for a whole other post!
My goal is to try to post more...we'll see how that goes!
