We’re Expecting a Baby! An Addition To The APFP Family!

coupon_girls_expecting_baby_pregnantWell, the news is out if you’ve seen our Facebook page! We’re expanding the APFP family and having a baby! I (Bethany) am pregnant with baby number two! The handsome little stud holding the ultrasound picture above is baby number one and he doesn’t know what to think! Baby #2 is going to rock our world (in a good way) and this little two-year-old fella won’t know what hit him ;)

I’ve gotten tons of questions so far so I thought it would be fun to fill out this questionnaire for you. I blogged while I was pregnant with handsome stud and filled out these questions every week (almost) of my pregnancy. It has been amusing and quite the walk down memory lane to go back and read all of those questions and answers about my first pregnancy. I love that I documented the details and plan to do the same with this baby.

So, here’s the deets:

How far along? 10 weeks

Weight gain? 5lbs already! I’ve slacked on the running lately because of all the morning sickness and exhaustion and have been famished!

Morning sickness? YES. Oh yes. But this is 24/7 all day all night sickness. Starting promptly when I was 6 weeks pregnant, I have been green around the edges day and night. I’ve left work in the middle of the day (leaving everything except my keys!), hugged the white throne, and practically thrown the laptop mid-deal-posting for fear of losing my breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Pray for me!

Maternity clothes? not yet. I pretty much refuse to wear any maternity clothes until I reach the second trimester. I did have to buy new pajama bottoms that were a little less tight around the waist but I’m totally not counting that :)

Best moment this week? Seeing my baby during the ultrasound today. I cried, well, like a baby, actually. Pun fully intended.

Movement? Not yet. He/she is moving, we saw that in the ultrasound, but I can’t quite feel it yet.

Food cravings? Not really, unless you count that week where I only wanted BBQ bacon cheeseburgers and that morning I had fish sticks for breakfast. Other than that, no cravings except for wanting whatever will make me feel less nauseous right then.

Food aversions? Coffee, just like in my first pregnancy, and -gasp- SWEETS. There is something majorly wrong with me. I LOVE sweets. Let me repeat. I LOVE SWEETS. But I canNOT stomach even the THOUGHT of something sweet right now. All desserts, breakfast foods that are sweet, all fruit, and even any vegetables that are slightly sweet make me gag and my stomach turn in circles. Literally. I opened a yogurt for my son the other morning, didn’t think about it and licked my finger, and almost had to bolt for the bathroom. So sad. So, so sad. :(

What I’m looking forward to… hearing the baby’s heartbeat in a few weeks.

Ok, now your turn! What is your favorite memory from being pregnant?

Did you have morning sickness?

    Congratulations!! I also had all day morning sickness, so you totally have my sympathy on that! I also ate only what I was sure I could keep down and used my running skills several times to get to the bathroom in record time. And I couldn’t eat chocolate. Even chocolate chips in cc cookies gave me killer heartburn. I remember seeing our first ultrasound at 9 weeks, and saying “That isn’t a 9 week old.” In fact, she was 13 weeks. We found out we were pregnant on Father’s Day, and her due date was Super Bowl Sunday. ;0) One of my favorite things was watching my belly move randomly. lol.

      Its no fun being sick but they say its a sign of a healthy baby and healthy pregnancy so I’m hanging in there! Its so good to have support from people who have been there before! Thanks for sharing your story! It helps!

    Congratulations! I was also sick with all my three pregnancies, and I totally agree that it should not be called morning sickness when you’re actually sick morning,noon and night (24/7), but just remember you’re getting a precious gift in return. Makes everything all worthwhile :)
