I'm baaaaack...

Ok, so I have been MIA for the past month.  But I do have a good reason!  I have a secret!!


Elena is going to be a BIG SISTER!!
 
We are so very excited that Baby number 2 is on the way.  When Elena was born we were very unsure about whether or not we would have another baby.  We always have wanted to have 2 kids but after Elena being born so early we were nervous.  A few months ago we decided that it was time to start trying for another baby.  Nothing happened for a few months, until my GYNO/OBGYN appointment for my yearly check up.
 
I asked my doctor (the same one that delivered Elena) about having another baby.  She told us that Elena was pretty much a freak accident (sorry Laney, haha) and that we should be able to have a full term baby!!!  Joe and I were thrilled! 
 
I got pregnant the next week!! Yahoo! 
 
I found out after a zoo trip with my sister and friend.  I was exhausted but thought that it had something to do with Elena wanting me to carry her all day and it was soooooo hot out.  I should have known that the test was going to be positive when I yawned three times buying it.  Haha! 

I pretty much started showing as soon as the test dried...seriously.  My belly is ginormous and I'm kind of terrified, haha.  This is going to be a BIIIIG baby (hopefully!!).  No more 3 pounders please.

We told our parents on Sunday when we went out to dinner with my parents.  I made Elena a "big sister" shirt since they don't make them any smaller than like 4T anywhere around here.  It's super cute but I can't get the pictures on here right now, I'll post them later!





I am 8 weeks this week...but look about 15....and am starting to feel a little bit better.
 
I am still completely exhausted but I'm not dry heaving every single day.  Just some days! lol I wasn't sick with Elena which leads to me think that maybe this baby is a boy?  We will see! I can't wait to find out what this little baby is.  I'm just praying for a healthy, full term baby this time. 

Til next time,
Alyssa :)
