Okay, the news is out… If you haven’t guessed yet, we have a 2nd on the way! It’s hard to believe but sometime in February we’ll be the proud parents of two! Event though we don’t have official confirmation yet, I think I’m about 10 weeks along.
We started to get serious about getting pregnant in April and I believe the conception happened sometime in May. I am so glad that I didn’t have to deal with all the temperature recordings, the ovulation kits and whatever else modern science has to offer. Husband was very happy too since the pressure is off! Coincidentally our first one happened pretty fast as well, I literally got pregnant on the day after our wedding.
Now for the third week I’m dealing with the annoyance of morning sickness. It isn’t nearly as bad as it was with the first one, but it’s still pretty real. And I am not nearly as tired as I was the first time around during my first trimester. The smells still disturb me to the point of getting sick. Smelling husband’s body wash, bad breath, certain fried food, baby’s poop, etc can really set me off. On the good note I managed to switch my husband to the herbal body wash and it tremendously helped my nose situation (thank you honey 
).
It’s hard to believe that I’ve been pregnant for quarter of the way already. Time flies so fast, the baby will be here before we know it. I truly have no preference for the baby’s sex. We already have a girl and if we happen to have a boy, it would be great. Then we’ll have one of each. But if we end up with another girl, the girls will become BFFs (best friends forever) hopefully without too much drama in between. My husband might have to move out of the house every 30 days due to estrogen excess.
As of now I am planning on doing weekly video updates about my pregnancy. So if you are interested, tune in and see what happens!!

gratz guys, for the record the boys are much easier than the girls. lol We wanted just 2, a boy and then girl and that’s what we got. My daughter is far crazier than my son. But they are both amazing in their own way!

Congratulations for you and David!
What joyous news.
This reminds me to check with my wife about her blogsite on birthplans and the empowering, stress relieving benefits of having a Doula help through childbirth.
Wishing you the best.
take care

There is a very proud papa spreading the word via Twitter as he introduces his new club…that’s how I found out! I’m a Mom of 3/Wife/Harvard graduate coming to terms with how that all falls together, and how it’s OK if what I do with my education is raise the next generation. So I can say that your combination of skills is definitely worthy of having two children – and that it will ALL be put to the test – and that you will pass with flying colors! Congratulations! Get lots of rest, enjoy what you can of this process, and may you be done with nausea very, very soon!
