I know it has been entirely too long since my last post- no valid excuse here. The even sadder part is that I am 21 weeks pregnant and this is my first post about my pregnancy. SAD! Let's start there....
Corey and I told our family over Christmas that we are expecting baby #2--aka the final Eystad baby from these two Eystads! I went through a few weeks where I was very naseous again but then it stopped, wayyyy sooner then it did for Emma. In fact at this time with Emma I was still vomitting and that portion of this pregnancy is hardly a memory already. I have been having cravings, whereas with Emma I did not. I went through a long time period where I craved fresh, cold food: carrots, celery, salads, etc and I ate a lot of it! During that time having the smallest amount of sweets would actually cause a stomach ache...well nowadays I have chocolate cravings. If we are friends on Facebook then you know that I found the most amazing ice cream ever. Edy's Triple Cookie Fuge Sundae-including 3 flavors: vanilla with chocolate chip cookie dough, chocolate with chocolate fudge swirl, and vanilla with brownie bites. It's a MUST have! Corey laughs at me but he enjoys it just as much as I do! We went to our 20 week appointment about a week ago and found out we are having a little boy--of course we are thrilled!! It's funny because with Emma I knew right away I was having a girl-there was no doubt in my mind. This time around I didn't have one gender pulling me as much..however there were several times I caught myself referring to the baby as 'he', which coworkers continued to point out to me. Knowing this was our last we preferred a boy, so I was trying to be careful and not get my hopes up. However during the ultrasound it was pretty obvious. I still don't truly believe we are actually having a boy but still completly psyched! We have began discussing names but haven't come across anything that has sold us yet.
Now Emma...she is getting so big! I ask her, 'Where is the baby?' She lifts up my shirt and touches my belly. She mainly likes to do this because her hands are usually cold and by her touching it I jump, which she really enjoys. She also likes to poke at my belly button which I really don't like. She is walking/running all over the place now. She likes to try and copy some of the words we say- her favorite lately is 'hot' she opens her mouth really wide to pronounce it. She also giggles and laughs more often- which is probably the best sound in the world. She highly enjoys being outside and we have realized how much of an issue keeping her indoors is going to be this summer (for naps or whatever). Even if she can't be outside-outside she loves being in the garage. She likes to hit the race car and be around it any way she can. She also searches through Corey's parts containers for 'fun' things to play with. Her favorite lately has been the hose clamps which she tries to take and put them all on her arms as bracelets. It's hot! I am pretty sure if I would have worn hose clamps on our first date, Corey would have married me right then and there. Other new things with her: new favorite food is cherry pop tarts, favorite outdoors toy- stroller or the cozy coupe (reddish car with yellow roof..like the staple outdoors toy for kids).
The racing season is in sight. The race car actually was started today so the motor is in and the graphics are one. Corey has also been doing some work on the trailer as well (powder coated the wheels and fixing the brakes).
Me- well you know..nothing really new other than the baby belly. I still enjoy my sleep at night even though that was supposed to go away after the 1st trimester but I do seem to have energy on the week-ends after a full night sleep. I enjoy baking/cooking with Emma every chance I get. Each Saturday I try to bake cookies or brownies or fresh, homemade cinnamon rolls. She loves sitting on the counter and 'helping me'. She has been trying to help me load/unload the dishwasher as well. In fact, today she decided to take clean tupperware out of the cupbourds and add it to the bottom rack. At least she has the right idea. She also loves to be in the pantry. She understands food comes from there and she likes pointing things out! She has a mouthful of teeth now so she is able to chomp down pretty much everything.
Well that is a heck of an update if you ask me! I know I owe it to you all!
