Remember when my belly was so big, the people at Red Robin thought I could not fit in a booth?
Remember when Harper was an itty bitty tinny bit? And, she couldn't squirm away from me while I posed her for fun pictures?
Well, in case you don't, we have decided to do it again. That is right, I'm pregnant! Which brings us to the Q & A portion of this post:
Frequently Asked Questions (about my expanding waistline)
Q: When are you due?
A: Mid March. Considering Harper was two weeks late, I'm not putting much stock in my due date this time around. As far as I can tell, Doctors just spin a wheal and pick a date, not unlike Wheal of Fortune. More like, Wheal of When Your Baby Might Or Might Not Come into the World That We Picked So We Can Judge Your Weight Gain and Make You Feel Like a Fatty.
Q: How are you feeling?
A: Sleepy and emotional. Let me clarify the sleepy part, I could sleep for days. In fact, it is an injustice that there are waking hours. I have fallen asleep multiple times while watching Harper. It is a bad scene. This will pass very soon, though, and I will be in the crazy optimistic energetic nesting trimester before we know it. Let's just hope Harper can take care of herself for a little bit longer.
Q: So, do you like puke all the time?
A: No. Gross. I am thanking my luck stars that I don't have morning sickness. Just like with Harper, I have thrown up once this pregnancy. Occasionally, I get a tummy ache. (I know the majority of mamas out there reading this now hate me. Sorry.)
Q: Are you finding out the gender?
A: Yes. ASAP.
Q: How could you? Is there no mystery left in this world?
A: There is no mystery left in this world. There is only google and wikipedia.
Q: I bet you really want a boy, right?
A: Um, well... We'll be happy with either, but we do already have all the stuff for a girl. Skylar, yes, is dying for a boy. If it is a girl, she might end up in drag in Little League. Watch out Connecticut!
Q: Were you trying?
A: I love when people ask this super personal question, for real! We were not trying, but we were going to start trying the next month. We were practicing.
Q: Are you having any food cravings?
A: HUMMUS, must have hummus.
That is all I can think of for now, but please feel free to add on anything I might have left out.
Oh My God, we are going to have another baby!!!! This is amazing news!

Must remember Hummus for our next playdate - I love it too!

Congratulations! I hope that it's three boys! Just kidding - I wouldn't wish that on anyone, but you should visit LA before you're family's too big!

Congratulations! That's so great! I guess if you were still here Sophie and Harper could play with #2 and #2. March is a good month.
