Breakfast: eggs, and toast, and ice cream, So WHAT!

I can't contain it any longer and have considered the pros and cons of waiting to share it or just going for it and I am opting for the latter....Tim and I are going to have another PEANUT! Only a little over one month in and I know you always hear it's best to wait it out the first three months and then share the news, but I look at it this way, If something DID happen (God forbid) then I would want those close to me to know, and while this is a more public way or sharing the news I know it will reach those of you I'm close to and those I don't get to talk to often but miss like heck! Okay, so that being said, I will have my confirmation Dr visit March 2 so then it will really be official. I guess it explains the lack of brainpower these past few weeks!

It has also become my personal mission (or the new person's mission) to eat everything I see whenever I want. The funny part is the babe is really only the size of a piece of bird seed right now and yet I'm already gaining weight! Ha! I guess I see it as the last time I'll be able to eat whatever I want and not really care. I think I need to get it together, however, or the taking it off part will take way longer than the putting it on part! But it's sure a fun process! I just keep telling Tim (with every wide eyed look I get after nearly eating half gallon of ice cream in one evening, or not stopping eating almost all day) that I have a plan! And the nausea part hasn't even really had a chance to set in yet, so that might slow me down...but I'm not counting on it!

Maybe that's why I gained over 50lbs with Alex! HA!


Tim and I finally got our basement finished and it is awesome! We love hanging out down there now with the girl and the best part is, when it's trashed down there I can just walk up the stairs, close the door and wha-la! The mess is out of sight! There's a very cozy guest room and bathroom down there for visitors so plan a trip and come visit SOON!!!! Tim's parents were the first to enjoy it as they stayed over last night and took the girl home with them for a couple days. I don't quite know what to do with myself when she's not around..what did I do with my time before her? I have no idea! Tim and I are going on a date tonight-- Some much overdue quality time...can't wait!!! (But I miss that girl like crazy already!!!! It's way harder on me than her!)


That's all the news I have for today! Off to shower and take my time getting ready! I know!

----the luxury of free time/alone time/kid-free time!

I can't believe we're having another one of these amazing babes! Life is sweet :) I just hope everything goes smoothly and healthfully.

Tim told me the news the other day and I am so excited for you. I vote for eating what you want. You'll have the rest of you life to diet.

Congratulations! I love that this news got you out of our Test Message Ban :) I knew something was up with your last post because you are usually not that forgetful. I am sooo excited for you guys and glad that you told all of us. Keep us posted on how you are feeling and what the doctor says. Enjoy eating for two, you deserve it!

Yay! I'm so excited for you! I felt the same way about telling people early. Will you find out boy or girl, or do you have patience of steel? Everyone around me is prego!!! So exciting :) That explains your brain for sure.

I meant "text" message ban by the way, oops, can you tell I was in an excited hurry to comment?

I love this picture by the way, makes me laugh every time I see it because it's so cute!!

Congrats!! I'm so excited for you guys. What an amazing blessing. And yes I agree, eat anything and everything you want. I would highly recommend the matty j special. A ritz cracker, slice of monterey jack cheese, bread and butter pickle and a dab of mustard. Mmm a little piece of heaven.
