In Case, Just In Case, You Haven't Heard

Yes, I have been busy lately. So I am sorry my posts have been sporadic at best. But we do have some exciting news at our house. Baby Herrett # 2 will be here sometime around September 26, 2007. Unlike the Balducci family, this time we will be finding out the sex of this baby. We loved not knowing with Shelby, but we have a few logistical kinks with our house we have to figure out before the baby gets here. The consensus is we are getting another girl, but we'll find out in a few more weeks. I am almost eleven weeks now. Not showing, but feeling this pregnancy.

For those familiar with my pregnancy with Shelby, here is a run down of what's the same and what's changed:
1) Morning Sickness: not the same wretching I had with Shelby just mild nausea.
2) Food: I had major food aversions with Shelby, this baby is hungry ALL THE TIME!!!
3) Headaches: thus far, I have been spared with this pregnancy.
4) Heprin shots: they're baaaaaaacckkkk!!!!!!!!
5) Gestational Diabetes: although it's questionable if I ever had it the first time, I was advised to go on the diet. I do this more or less successfully. Lots of fruit in the diet now.
6) Fatigue: unbearable with an eight-month-old to chase down.

I consider myself lucky to be doing as well as I am for still nursing an eight-month-old. Amazingly, my milk has actually increased a little. We are busy, busy teaching Shelby to crawl, keeping the dogs in line and prepping for this little one.

So, if I don't get back to you right away or post, you're not far from my thoughts!
