In one hour....

I must have peed 7 times. I'm not kidding. It was around the 5th bathroom visit (Raresh had to pause 24 yet again) that I said, "Honey...you are carrying the next baby!" Then after he laughed, I said..."Don't even mention the word 3rd baby until I'm at least 35."

So sweet Zainy 2.0--I'm sorry...but really...7 times in one hour????

Oh and I know some of you think I'm crazy...or even imaging it..but at 13 weeks, I have felt my sweet little baby kick. It was not gas. IT'S WAS AN ACTUAL KICK!

Soooo exciting!

Here is our little Zainy 2.0

How cute are you???

Charlotte's web is growing bigger!

I'm sure many of you know that we are expecting our second child. It's such an exciting time for our family. I am almost 13 weeks. We found out on 11/13 that we would be having another addition to our family. The due date for this little bundle of joy is my 30th birthday--July 26th.---Just an FYI--Please...don't anyone plan to throw me a huge surprise party unless you want the biggest surprise of your life...my water breaking...or me not showing up. ha ha---There will be plenty of celebrating when the time comes.

It's been too long since I've blogged and this is why.
I'M TIRED!!!! I'm experiencing the normal 1st trimester fatigue PLUS the tiredness of having a very active toddler. But it's definitely time for me to start addressing how I'm feeling, what I'm craving, and what the family's reactions were. After all---baby number 2 is not going to get the short end of the stick and not have the same excitement that Charlotte had...NO WAY!

So little bundle of joy (which we call--Zainy 2.0)--
Mommy did not throw up yet...(bless your sweet little heart)---but I was feeling nauseated the first trimester.
Mommy is tired.
Mommy has to pee---ALL THE TIME. I don't remember this being the case so soon last time. Not really liking that part.
Mommy feels a lot smaller than she did with big sister---however, that might be false, but hey...it's a good feeling to have.
Mommy is not really having a gut feeling of what you are---the way I did with big sister--so that makes me think...Boy.
Mommy hasn't been craving much---however cheese quesadillas and chicken salad sandwiches always sound good.
Mommy and Daddy are beaming with joy and sooooo excited to welcome you into our little family. The Lord has blessed us beyond words.
Charlotte is already kissing my tummy and saying Baby--I can't wait to see the two of you together.

One final detail about our news. We told our parents on Thanksgiving and we decided to have Charlotte wear a big sister shirt and see who notices. Needless to say...my in-laws missed the message entirely and decided her shirt was too thick and hot...so they changed her within 10 minutes of being there. We all had a laugh when they realized what we were trying to do. The only one that got it was soon to be Aunt Jennifer.

My side of the family got it right away...well at least my sisters did. Slowly but surely the news trickled through the house.

So Zainy 2.0---thank you for being such a good baby so far. And Lord--THANK YOU---for giving me everything my heart desired and more. How oh how...will I ever have the right words to show you enough thanks!

Charlotte...you're life is gonna change---but for the better.

Sweet hubby of mine---You are truly my favorite husband! :) I know you get that little joke of ours and I know that says it all.

Until next time..
