what a wonderful time! 0-16 wks

So, here we go again expecting our second child and this blog is to keep up with this little baby as I had one with my other little baby... it's only fair. HEHE
So, let me back track...
In Dec 2012 Justin and I held our very first Christmas at OUR HOUSE, the first house we have ever bought, in good ol' AL. It was a really exciting time I spent probably the majority of the time in the kitchen, which was what I loved! Meanwhile, my whole family, parents, brothers, and Atticus (2nd Christmas) played and enjoyed the cold.
                    Little did we know! There was a baby a brewin!
Unfortunately, my yia ya past away a few days after Christmas... this brought about a huge family gathering in Chicago for a wk of embracing her memory and spending lost time with loved ones we don't see as often as we would like. The whole week my mom was so sick and I felt a little off my self. When we arrived home I really felt sick every morning and caught myself gagging a few times. It dawned on me that this was a very familiar feeling from when I got pregnant with Atticus. A few days passed I decide to buy a test, I was so sure it was gonna come out negative I took the test at my parents house one night we were visiting for dinner. We had talked about starting to try to get pregnant at the start of the new year it just happened fast. So, much to my surprise out popped to pink lines and bam baby number two is on the way and our family just got a little bigger. I was surprised, but overwhelmed with utter joy... as I ran out of the bathroom grabbed Justin and made sure I wasn't seeing double. I wasn't and the rest was history.
I made a drs. appt asap and found out I was only 5 wks along which was what I figured which means we probably got pregnant around Christmas time!  I found out Jan. 17th 2013!
All has gone fine so far with the pregnancy not tooo much morning sickness, which is kinda new for me and I was really tired up until 12 wks and then I spent the whole time from them till now sick actually the whole house has been, but I got it the worst for sure. I am still struggling to get rid of the ear infection that has been haunting me for a month now. Tomorrow I go in for my 16 wk check up and all should be good. I will find out in a month (right around Atticus bday) if you are a boy or girl!!!
So excited for our new addition!!!
