So, I Might Have Gained a Few Pounds Since Moving to Virginia…

But its the good kind of weight gain!  Rob and I are expecting our 2nd child on Dec. 19, 2010.  (If you look closely, you’ll see my little baby bump…This was taken about a week ago though, and I feel like the bump is bigger than it looks here!)

Yeah, I know I took my time in making this announcement, but I had a reason (whether or not you think my reason is crap is up to you, but I’m the pregnant one, so I got to call the shots on this one).  I was hoping that by not telling many people, the pregnancy would go by faster.  (Which it has, so far…but that also might be because I am chasing around a 1 year old all day and have hardly any time to remember that I’m preggo).  Then it just turned into a game to see how long I could go without telling people.  I hate being pregnant, and I also don’t like getting all the questions that come with it, so now I can just take care of all of your questions at once….you know, the questions like:

Have you been sick? **not really.  I didn’t get sick with Adeline much either.  I was getting some pretty nasty headaches, but those have seemed to die down.

When are you due? **Like I said before, Dec. 19

How long have you known? **Probably since mid April, I don’t remember exactly.  Yeah, I know, I’m good at keeping a secret!

Was it a surprise? **Surprisingly, no!  We wanted our kids to be close in age.  We were a little surprised when we got pregnant the first month trying though (it took a little longer to get pregnant the first time).

Are you crazy?  **Yes.  When we got pregnant, Adeline was still not even really crawling.  She was so well behaved back then.  Now she is into everything and super needy for attention ALL THE TIME!  I think to myself multiple times a day “How am I ever going to handle 2 of them???”  Adeline and this new baby will be 17 months apart (but still 2 years apart in school…weird how that works out).

Do you know if its a boy or girl yet? **YES!!  We found out today we are having a boy!  We plan to give him the family name, Robert.  We’ll call him Bobby though!  Now to come up with a middle name.

So here are my apologies to anyone who feels out of the loop on this one.  We did tell our families a couple months ago and the few people we know here in Newport News (I couldn’t really hide it from people who have seen me in the past month).  Rob and I are both excited to meet this little guy!
