10w 3d

Mama, I think you are going to have another baby. I hear you and daddy talking about pregnancies a lot, and you have been getting a lot of blood taken, and going to the doctors. I hope God is blessing you with another baby - cuz I want another brother or sister!

.... is what Essie (5) said this morning as she crawled into bed with me at 6:30am. Wow, perceptive little thing. I changed the subject and she dropped this issue. I really don't want to announce it to the kids yet - at least until I have had the dating u/s next week and all is well. Plus if they know they are sure to tell my mom who will not be happy to say the least. I was hoping to get out of the 1st trimester before I told mom. And while that isn't long away (I think June 19th?) - I will be spending 5 days with her in a few weeks. I was thinking of announcing at the 4th of July...but now that hubby is going to be gone for 4 month - I am thinking of maybe holding off as long as possible. Hey, that is one bonus of being ...ahem...plump to beging with. It takes a while to actually "show".

Nausea is still here. Some days worse than other. I definitely have aversions to certain foods. ANd funny, it is not the same foods all the time. All of a sudden it will be like, ewww I don't want that, after I have cooked dinner. One think that seems to settle my tum and do well by me is peanut butter and honey sandwiches on whole grain bread.

I am so excited to find out what actually is cooking in there. Only 10 more weeks until I find out. Sadly, DH will miss it. He'll have to find out via e-mail. Sooo hoping for another girl!
