Yes, I am pregnant. Or rather we are pregnant. Whatever/whichever - however you want to think of it as. I am {am a lot better} sicker than a dog with this pregnancy, and Spencer has to put up with me. I would say we are even, but really I would just be being nice. I think I have the shorter end of the stick. Poor me. :)

At first I had this gut feeling that I {we, again} was having twins. Gut feeling. Then my mom told me she was hoping I was going to have twins {only because this may be our last bundle of love}. Plus my sisters thought it would be funny. Then I started to think... "well, I am A LOT sicker with this kid then I have been with my other pregnancies!? Maybe?" {please no} So in all seriousness I looked up symptoms of twins... and I had 90% of them. It was a done deal, there were two little peanuts in there. But, alas, I was wrong and Hudson's prayers were not answered this time round. {he had been praying for two babies, one for him... the other for R - you can guess which gender for both. I told him to stop praying. He didn't listen as usual.}

After returning home from my first appointment; and with the no "two babies" news hudson then - forever in my memory- quoted, under his breath "then please be a boy, please be a boy, please be a boy!" This we don't know, and will find out, just not yet. I at first wanted a girl, but to be honest I am totally okay with either. I have no clue as to what the gender might be. With H and R I "knew" what they were, and was right on. Even Spencer doesn't "think" it is one or the other... so we are clueless.

Along with this pregnancy post I have uploaded a picture I have of myself, seen below, for whatever reason that has possessed me to do so. Maybe it is the pure health and happiness I had at that moment {I have to pull from at times when I am hugging the clean toilets, or the ability I had to actually run - whatever it is, here is the picture}. I also need to be more liberal in posting pictures of myself. The very few ones I have. Also I am trying to figure out if I want bangs again? What do you all think? I want to chop off the locks. CHOP CHOP CHOP. But then I get nervous and think... oh maybe not. I need help here.

{I guess you can't really tell about the bangs... I am too lazy to find a picture that showcases them more}

Anyway - back to me, you know since this post has lacked my presence. I am 16 weeks on Thurs. and can not eat dairy. Well, some dairy like cheese I am okay with... but milk is out. And I LOVE milk. It has been hard. Especially when my husband pulls out the bin of Thrifty mint and chocolate chip ice cream and eats it by me. I am out on that one; and out of the room. It is like I am transported back in time when I was in labor {and not a loud to eat anything but ice chips} and Spencer walks into my room, please note that I was in the 15th hour of labor, and pulls out a lovely in-n-out feast. I wanted to scream! He got several dirty eyes {from me} ; until he took it outside.

So there you have it. Yes, I am pregnant. I am due the 18th of Feb. and am starting to feel better. I am getting headaches the second trimester, but I will take them if I don't have to battle the all day sickness that enveloped my life for the last 3.5 months.

When the gender is known, I will broadcast it. Promise.
