So.
As promised, I will explain why I have been posting emotional hard-on-myself blog posts lately. Oh, and also I will explain why I haven't been posting as many. And why there are piles of laundry all over my house. And why all I want to do is eat everything within my reach.
Can anyone say morning (noon and night) sickness? Can anyone say first trimester fatigue?
Congratulations, Self, you're pregnant!
Yup, I was waiting to hear the heartbeat to spill the beans (mmm beans), which I did this morning. I am about 11 weeks along with a lil munchkin, we are so terrified excited to expand our little Beer family trio. Might start a family band.
So, as you know, this toddler phase has been demanding, and noticeably more-so because I want to throw up and fall asleep at the same time at any point of the day. It's like in nature when a predator will attack weakened prey because they are easier to take down, that's what I envision Ave and me like right now. She's the predator (clearly) and I am the weakened prey. Shame on me for ever complaining about being tired during my first pregnancy, because when I was tired the first time around, I would simply lie down and sleep all day. Which I totally took for granted. Now, if I want to lie down,
forgettaboutit (<-I'm from New York so I can say that).
By the way, Troy and I are the most fertile people alive... we literally discussed having another baby and at the end of the conversation I was pregnant. Unbelievable. I did surprise him by putting this shirt on Ave when he got home from work though, he was really surprised and excited :
Note: Baby girl nearly polished off that entire tube of Chapstick in my effort to keep her still to take a picture.
Anyway, that's that. Go easy on me, the last few months have been rough! Kudos to you moms who have been pregnant with young children to tend to. It is nearly impossible!
Moms are SERIOUSLY superheroes. Seriously.
PS. Avery is chasing my dog around trying to feed him a flashcard with an apple ("a-poo") on it. Hilarious.
I'm glad you finally got to spill the beans, I can't tell you how many people have asked me if you were pregnant after decoding your clues on fb and your blog. I know you guys are really excited and like you said, now that there will be TWO troy will HAVE to help! You guys are going to be great parents of TWO! I know it's been rough on you though-you poor thing!
ReplyDeleteIf you ever need a break, please just drop aves off to play and go take a nap, or nest, or make yourself a panini. USE ME! You aren't a burdon- I'm a free babysitter!
Can't wait to throw you a fabulous baby shower! and find out the sex and find out the name, and see you get bigger and adorable. I just saw a pregnant lady at the pool today in her two piece and it was so stinking cute!
we love you guys!
Congratulations! I'm so happy for you guys. The world definately needed another Beer. :-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Ok this is going to sound creepy but I'm really not a creep! I actually had Spanish with Troy freshman year of high school at Silverado. Weird! That was way way way long ago.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I am going to be taking notes because I am currently begging my husband for us to have a #2 and he doesn't think I will be able to handle it. What does he know?
I love my husband and I appreciate EVERYTHING he does for us, but he does not contribute to baby unless I yell and beg him to take her. He doesn't change diapers, bathe, feed or put her to bed. EVER.
Us Moms are awesome. Congrats again and best wishes! :)
LOL! Some secret..Sofia, I knew you were pregnant from the time of the so called "Stomach bug". You will certainly have your hands full. I know because I did the exact same thing. Bella turned 1. Wayne and I decided to try for #2,and on the first real try..preggers. SO my girls are 2 years and 2 months apart. It was, scratch that, still is a handful but it is amazing to watch them grow together. They are best friends. You are a great MOmmy and I am so happy for you. Congratulations to you, TRoy and big sis Avery!The fun part comes when you are 9 months pregnant and Avery decides to run down the road and you have to chase her....Oh wait,that's what happened to me. I'm sure my neighbors had quite a giggle.Hugs and Congrats...again!You should read some of my older posts about being pregnant with the 2nd, you will giggle.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!! Oh and you will be tired.... REAL tired. Pregnancy and toddlers are a fun mix.....:::sarcasm::: ;)
ReplyDeleteWow! Congrats and post plenty of cute belly shots.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! Seriously, the predator/prey thing is hysterical.
ReplyDeleteYay!!! A big ole congratulations to all of you. And I'm feeling you on how much harder the second pregnancy is. I barely made it through between being sick enough to puke constantly, needing to eat constantly, and wanting to be asleep constantly. Oh it was good times. I hope the sickness at least ends soon for you!! Take care of yourself and can't wait to see some belly pics.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! And terrifying! But good luck. I know you'll rock it!
ReplyDeletei am one of the askers from facebook decoding. :) damn, i should be a detective. anyway, congrats! you are, once again, going to set the bar super high for being hot and pregant. hooray! you go girl!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! That's very exciting :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!! Love how you shared with your hubs!
ReplyDeleteYAY! I hope you are feeling well soon!! We did a tshirt thing with Kate to announce Maddie was coming.
ReplyDeleteYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI desperately want to be pregnant again but without the first trimester hell. It's so much worse than the last few weeks especially since no one knows and you can't milk it for sympathy. Now, I will live vicariously through you. Thanks :)
Also, I think I'm considering stealing that method of revealing the pregnancy to my husband. When it's our time...which could be any day since I sneeze and get pregnant.
HOly Crap! I miss your blog for 3 days and EVERYTHING has CHANGED!!
ReplyDeleteUsually I read newest first and then go down, but this time I had to go back to the archives! That is BIG NEWS!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!1!!!111!!
(added one's for emphasis, hehee)
I don't even KNOW you and I knew you were pregnant by the end of your conversation also. Or...well....like a month ago or so.... congratulations!!!
