Food cravings

As someone who advocates clean healthy eating, I'm slightly ashamed of my diet as of late.  Apparently, when one gets pregnant, all thoughts of health are thrown out the window and you purchase everything you can put your mouth on.  Once you've eaten said divine foods, you pray you don't puke your guts out.  This makes for an expensive diet. Usually though, you puke out divine foods along with the dollars you paid for it.

Nonetheless, if this second baby comes out nearly as dang cute as the previous one, all will be worth it. 

Already?

Yes, already.  Call me crazy, but it took so long to get Aiko, I decided come what may, let's get this fatness done and over with. Plus, I think it will be super fun to have them close together.  Aiko will be 1 next month. This fact seems to surprise a lot of people.  She's pretty tiny.  In fact, Hannah decided to check her stats online and Aiko doesn't even register for 9 month babies. She's been 15 lbs since she was 3 months and has only grown 3 inches since she was born.  Oh, well, technically, she does have some super short genes, Asian and not. 

It was a slight surprise when I found out we were pregnant.  I'd just gotten home from girl's camp and found out our friends the Jones' were pregnant, so I promptly texted Heather.

me: No, Way.
Her: What, are you pregnant too?
me: No, I don't think so.

But it had me seriously thinking about it a day later. When I took my first test it came back invalid...this the story of my life when it comes to these puppies. I was a little bummed.  Tried again later that day and it came back positive.  Friends, this is how it should go right?  A little surprised, worried, happy, blown away.  I immediately texted The Husband and from their it's history.

I've found that this whole pregnancy thing seems to be a little harder when you don't go to work everyday.  I was nauseous all through with Aiko, but only puked twice.  This time though....it's crazy.  Not only have I looked chubby from day one, I'm just trying to sleep as much as possible so I don't feel sick.  Luckily, I have another friend who is also pregnant and due about the exact same time!  So we text back and forth what we shouldn't have eaten that day and what we puked up.  It actually makes for good fun.

Does anyone else think that the second pregnancy is also much more exciting that the first?  See, now that I have #ohniceandchubbybaby, I actually know what fun comes from having a baby now.  Does that make sense?  I'm twice as excited because it's another little human (that will probably look just like her dad, never like her mom...just like #ohniceandchubbybaby) but nonetheless, I'm oh, so excited.

Good Times are coming people. Good Times.

I was going to create some clever saying for Aiko's shirt...something that included her #ohniceandchubbybaby line...but my brain wasn't into it.  We just took a sharpie and went at it.

We are kind of irreverent.

I forgot that we had a beautiful rendition of the fetus drawn...on an egg nonetheless.

(it was about life size at that time as well.)

Baby Fetus Gender Day

Again...remember, if you work at my office, please do not share this...I'm waiting to see how big I get before the bossman (or anyone else for the matter) notices. 

I found this Lucky shirt for $5.00

I thought the message on my ever growing belly was fitting.

Time for you to guess...

Today is "Baby Fetus Gender Day" as Hannah so eloquently said.

Yup, we find out today...I'm exactly 16 weeks. 

*Note, this picture was actually taken around 10-12 weeks...I think. (I'm quite a bit larger now) with the iPhone

**Note, We had a Groupon to go bowling at Weber State and as usual, it was about to expire. Came with 2 games, shoe rentals and cheese nachos..w/out the nachos as their machine was broken.

I can't even tell you how much money we are not saving by buying these awesome deals on Groupon.  But we still buy them. 

I'm way behind on my blogging.
