Well, I am sure some may have heard, but then again you never know. So I guess I should first announce that I will no longer be banishing baby weight, as I will now be putting it back on. Ben and I are pregnant again and due in February. I am just at the end of my first trimester, so we haven't made any formal announcements, but last week we went to the doctor, saw the little one and everything looks good so far.
So I am redirecting my focus. I can't be focused on the losing weight portion of this journey, but I am still focused on the healthy lifestyle. My hope it to continue working out throughout my pregnancy and to maintain a healthy diet. It hasn't been easy so far. As with Gracelynn, I have been pretty sick. And I am talking all day. Beyond that my exhaustion has been ridiculous. I have no idea how I did this when I was working full time AND in school with Gracelynn. But for the Grace of God...
Eating has been a challenge as well. I can't consume much meat at all right now. It makes my stomach flip flop just thinking about it and you don't want to know what happens when I actually eat it. So I have been eating a lot of carbs...eating I use loosely because most of it doesn't stay down. Despite these facts at my first appointment I had already gained!!! I was kind of disappointed by that fact.
With G I gained about 37 lbs and with this one I would love to only gain 30. I started about 10 lbs under where I started with G, and if I can keep up the exercise I hope to lose it a lot faster.
Well, I'll keep you updated on this new journey. All of the sickness, weight gain and exhaustion aside, we are VERY excited and can't wait to welcome our newest family member :)

So I'm totally blown away! I was not expecting this. Not that I should or shouldn't be. I just wasn't. Anyway, that's not important!
Congradulations!!! Now little Gracelynn will have a playmate close to her own age just the way you and Ben wanted.
