New addition coming soon!!!

That's right folks, there will be a new addition in our house this summer. I am pregnant!! Julia is going to have to share the spotlight and will become a big sister!

I wanted to wait a little longer before telling people, but my belly was starting to tell for me! I finally told work today, so now it is safe to tell everyone. We told family not long ago.

Jerrod and I are quite excited about it. I am on the same meds I was on for Julia and apparently they did the trick again, because this kid has a strong heartbeat and did not end in miscarriage! How amazing is it that I went from thinking I would never be able to have kids to now being pregnant with my second!!???!! I love modern medicine!

I am 13 weeks today and according to the development info, the baby is the size of a peach!

Due date is July 24th (my dad's birthday), but I figure it will probably be the first week of August before this baby is born. Morning sickness has been much worse this time around. I actually had to get a prescription to help with it because I was getting so dehydrated from the inability to keep anything down occasionally. But luckily, the morning sickness is starting to ease up. My belly has also POPPED much earlier this time!! I was bigger at 9 weeks with pregnancy than I was at 20+ weeks with Julia. I have been in maternity pants since 7 weeks! I only have a few tops that still fit, so I will probably be digging out my maternity tops soon. I did have them double check for twins because of getting so big so fast, but they assure me there is only one in there. And no, it is not weight gain, I have actually LOST 12+ pounds since becoming pregnant.

I will be posting regular updates about #2.
