Big Brother!

That's right....we can hardly believe it ourselves, but Griff is going to be a BIG BROTHER in just a few months! We are thrilled (and a little terrified) to be awaiting the arrival of our second child this summer....due July 14th, 2011.

It's going to be a little crazy around our house for a while, but at the rate Griff is growing up, I think we will really appreciate another baby in the mix. Can't wait to find out if we will have a little brother or a little sister for our little man :)

So far, this pregnancy has been very different from the first one. I've been nauseous, but not nearly as much as I was with Griff. With him, we actually designated one toilet in the house for puking and one for everything else (TMI, I know). Of course, that may be because my new doctor immediately prescribed Zofran for me...a girl's best friend when it comes to morning sickness. I've also been much more tired that I was the first time around....again, that maybe due to circumstances more than anything, specifically, chasing after a crawling youngster all day! The other big difference this time is that I've been craving all kinds of fried food (onion rings - yum!). With Griff, I couldn't stand the smell or even the thought of burgers, fries, chicken, pretty much anything that was greasy or fatty. Good thing I was able to lose the baby weight pretty fast with Griffin, because with these cravings, things aren't looking good for my girlish figure :)

Overall, I'd say I really enjoy being pregnant, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't super excited that the first trimester is officially over. Bring on the second trimester happy times!
