This makes me feel better!

I was looking over last night's post and realized it was littered with lots of complaining. Although I believe that pregnant women can complain as much as they want, I still thought I should list some great things that happened this week.
-Yesterday I came home from work and my hubby had cleaned the entire house! The bathroom had been scrubbed, carpets vacuumed, toys put away, and even the dishes were washed! It was the best Valentine's present ever. I actually cried when I walked in the house.
-I found some INCREDIBLE deals this week. First I found this stroller
on sale for $89! It is a Sit and Stand Stroller that has a little bench seat for Elias and of course the typical stroller seat for the baby. Elias loves it and will even tell you which seat is for baby brother/sister.
-The other day we went to Stride Rite and found some cute shoes for Elias for only $16!!! If you know Stride Rite shoes than you know how incredible of a deal this is. This brand of shoes usually sells from $30-$50 bucks per pair. Unfortunately I am very familiar with their shoes because they are literally the ONLY brand that fit my little man's fat, roly poly feet. The sales people in the store always comment that he has "pillow feet". Sounds cute, but it ends up costing a lot to get shoes to fit him. Needless to say I was thrilled to find a perfect pair (in size 7 extra wide) for such a great price. I also found a pair of dressier shoes that actually fit him at Target. I got 2 pair of shoes for about $30. Considering we usually have to spend $30-$50 per pair this was truly a blessing!
-I found a new website that is now one of my favorites. I found out about the stroller on babycheapskate.com. This site lists all the current baby deals and sales going on and is updated almost daily. I also love mamabargains.com. They have some great deals on super cute stuff too.

It was a week of frugal finds and sweet gestures by my husband!

It's all coming back to me.

So far this pregnancy seems to be going exactly like my first one. I am feeling nauseated ALL day long. There is a constant feeling that I need to puke, although I have only done so twice. The torturous part of the whole thing is that I feel hungry ALL the time as well! So basically I feel like I'm starving all day and night, but the very thought of food makes me sick to my stomach. Sounds fun, huh? However, I must say that I know that if I didn't not feel ANYTHING then I would be worrying. This sick feeling is a small reassurance that my body is being taken over by a tiny human. It amazes me how instantly you love and are protective of a baby that you have not even met. This pregnancy was a big surprise, but we are already so in love with this little person, and can't wait to meet him/her.
There is one more thing that this pregnancy has in common with the first one. As I was looking through Elias' baby book I realized that we found out we were pregnant with him on February 2, 2006. We found out we were pregnant with this baby on February 2, 2009! That is too funny! My poor kids are probably going to have their birthdays in the same week, if not the same day.

Funny, very funny!

Before you read this post, be sure to read my previous one. It will help you see the humor in this one.

Surprise! Surprise! I am pregnant! So it looks like we are having another baby. We are shocked, but it is a great surprise. Although this means I will be a REALLY pregnant bridesmaid in Erika and Javi's wedding. (By REALLY pregnant I mean the wedding will take place like 4 weeks before my due date.) It also seems that the due date of this baby will be the exact same due date that Elias had, which should be around October 8th or 9th. The good news in that is that if it is a boy we literally have everything we need except a carseat and diapers! Of course a girl would be good news too. That would just mean I have to do a lot more shopping.
This is really shocking to me because I thrive on having everything perfectly planned. I do not do well with surprises. I'm sure it will prove to be a learning experience for me.

On a cute note, I asked Elias if he was ready to be a big brother and he said "I want a sister". I'm trying to find my "instinct" on what this baby is, but not quite sure yet. Although, Gus and I truly do not care about the sex of the little one. Just want a healthy baby!
