Jared and I decided at the beginning of June it was time for
#2. We found out on June 30th that we are pregnant. We are so very blessed to say the least.
I don't know if I held out on telling everyone because I was so shocked that I didn't believe it or if I just wanted to make sure all was ok. Either way, we got a sweet little ultrasound and that made it very real.
It hasn't been easy for sure. I was always a little frightened of getting pregnant with a toddler but never imagined how tough it would be. I've been SICK. AND. TIRED. Very sick. Every single day. It's getting a little easier though. Or maybe I just figured out how to manage.
I most definitely, I am 100% positive, I couldn't do it without Jared. He is amazing. I didn't throw up all weekend and I think it's because he let me "sleep it off" as I was told to do by a good friend. I slept until 10 on Saturday and 9:30 on Sunday. I didn't get sick. If only I could do that every day.
I have no desire to eat, but I have to. I eat a lot of pickles. I'm pretty sure I could eat a jar a day if I didn't feel guilty about it. I'm also obsessed with fried potatoes covered in cheese and jalapeños with ranch on the side. YUM. Butterfinger candy bars too. I have to stop. At this point though, I am just happy to get and keep anything down so I don't care what it is.
Ruby doesn't really understand. I tell her there's a baby in my belly, she says "I want a boy" or "baby brother". I hope she is not disappointed if its a girl. I think she's going to be a really sweet big sister. I've been getting a lot of very helpful advice from other mom's about how to handle toddler/newborn that I am storing in the back of my mind.
I cannot wait for this baby to join us. I am only 10 weeks but I honestly feel like it is just flying by. The unconditional love I receive from Ruby and that I have for her, I just can't wait to multiply that by 2.
We are unbelievably blessed. Thank you God!
