Baby's likes and dislikes

I know 2 posts in one day might be a little much but the whole point of this blog is to remember things that I won't remember 10 years 1 year from now.  

Already, I am dealing with what this little one likes and dislikes.  Unlike Bryce, this baby does not want sweets.  I normally have a major sweet tooth and cannot go a day without having some sort of sweet.  However, as soon as my pregnancy symptoms kicked in (about two days after we found out), I did not want to eat anything, much less sweets.  My grandmother made my favorite type of cookie and Will and Bryce ate them all!  Will is so excited that when he wants something sweet, it is still in the house.  If you think I am kidding, I ordered 5 boxes of girl scout cookies and ate 3 boxes by myself in the first week and to top it off I was NOT pregnant.  I can handle them now but just don't really want them.  My poor brain is so confused.

I had a horrible reaction to some She Crab Soup while Will and Bryce were out of town for the weekend. I had a bowl a couple of weeks ago in Charleston and it was amazing and so smooth.  However, the one I got from the grocery store, had parts of the shell in it still and that was about the time that I lost everything.  I could not even look at the container that was still sitting on the counter for two days.  William had to come home and throw it out for me.  I never had to deal with such difficulties with my first pregnancy.  

This baby seems to like the healthy stuff.  Pretty much anything with veggies in it and yummy salads.  The one bad thing that seems to settle it all soda.  I used to drink a gallon of water daily and now I can barely keep water down.  I know I am not addicted but it makes me feel so much better after I have had an ice cold soda...

I wonder if William can bring home a soda fountain???


9 weeks and counting

Today we are 9 weeks along and it has been a rough ride so far.  Morning sickness is my worst enemy this time around.  Crazy how all the things that would make me feel better are just not possible when I don't have the energy.  I miss my gym!  I miss my yoga!

I also miss control of my emotions.  I am up and down like a roller coaster, all day, everyday.  I really do feel bad for anyone that deals with me.  Today I actually started to tear up while watching Disney's Mulan with Bryce.  REALLY???  

This pregnancy feels so different compared to when I was pregnant with Bryce.  I have had several people say that they just know it is a girl but honestly I am mixed.  I have always wanted a girl and I think it would be so much fun to dress her up and have some girl things in this house.  However, boy toys are new and exciting (at least to me) and Bryce has had some of the cutest clothes.  The following pictures are from Easter 2010, he was what my grandmother refers to as a "living doll."


He was telling us he was done at this point.

All I know is that I am ready for the second trimester to be here!  Hopefully by then the energy levels will return and I will not be so sick.  You know how they say milk coming out of the nose hurts, try cinnamon.  Plus we have a cruise planned in June and I am so ready!

In the beginning

Write a blog, me? Why not? I love reading all the other blogs out there and it makes me envious of the memories that I have forgotten about that all these other bloggers will have forever. Now, I have the best reason to write all these memories down...

We are pregnant with Baby Boone #2.

I hope that this blog will be a way to remember it all (even the morning sickness)!
