What did you....

SAY??? Yep, we're having another baby! We just found out that I am 8 and half weeks along. Due date is June 22, 2010! I've been feeling AWEFULLY sick in the evenings for the past several weeks and then Halloween mid-morning I felt the worse I'd felt yet so I took another test and it finally said YES! Each test I've taken over the past couple of months have said no...I thought I was losing my mind. I couldn't figure out why I was so tired when 8pm came around and why I was feeling yucky, but then finally some validation to my sickness!!! It's been the norm for me to feel sick around 10 -13 weeks and lasting to about 20 weeks but this time it has seemed to come on a lot sooner...perhaps that's a sign of a different gender?!?!?! We'll have to wait and see. For now I'm taking it day by day. Some days are okay and some I can't even move I'm so nauseous. My OB prescribed me some prescription nausea medicine that has seemed to help over the last day...I hope it continues to easy the queasiness and let me take care of my family. Justin's been great in it all. He comes home with dinner almost every night and then tries and get as much done around the house as he can before he heads for the church. He's doing the best he can but it's impossible to squeeze in what I do in a day in an hour or two a night. I know he'll be happy when the sickness comes to an end!

Benson now is telling everyone at school that I have a BUG in my stomach and it makes me throw up every time I eat (which by the way, is not true...I have yet to actually throw up.) To the contrary...I feel better when I'm eating which, in its self, presents a potentially HUGE problem.

And if you see a second mass in there..your eyes don't lie.  We had another "blighted twin/vanishing twin", just like with Max.  This one only was about 3 weeks old before it stopped developing.  I had asked Dr. Ainsworth that the problem might be since this is twice now and he said that I'm just very fertile and somewhere in the transfer of the chromosomes there is an error and that nothing can be done to prevent it.  CRAZY!
