Our newest little bean...

We are proud to announce that we are expecting a new baby on July 13th '09! We have affectionately nicknamed her or him "Pinto". We went for an 8 week ultrasound this morning and saw the heartbeat and blob of baby, so we feel comfortable letting everyone know! We are very excited and hope that everything goes well for the next 31 or 32 weeks. We will schedule a repeat c-section the week before, so no surprises for us this time!

So far I have only been nauseated when I let my stomach get empty. You would think it would be easy to keep it full, being that I am hungry all of the time, but not everything tastes so good right now. I've only had a little mild cramping and bloating (which made me think I was gaining weight or starting to show, but it's gone now...whew). I also belch ALL of the time. (What is that? Someone tell me, please!?!) I am pretty tired all of the time, but if I rest enough I have good days and a little more energy. I have been trying to continue exercising at Curves, but have only been once this week. I really feel better when I go, but it's the getting there that's the hard part. I am planning to not gain nearly as much weight as I did with Hayden (38 lbs, yikes on a 5'2" person!), so staying off of sugar is a big part of that for me. I was borderline gestational diabetic with him, so they will do the sugar test early this time. I have been doing really well with eating no sugar (only cheating every once and a while...especially on Thanksgiving), so I don't think it will be as big of an issue during this pregnancy.

I plan on doing bump pics with the same old t-shirt every time, so here is a 6 week bump pic (which, honestly, isn't too different from my leftover Hayden bump):

And here is the ultrasound pic from today. The blob of baby is to the left of the middle of the picture!
