I do not recommend morning sickness when you’re taking care of a toddler. I miss how selfish I could be when I was pregnant with Christian. I could nap when I needed to and I could be completely useless and lie on the couch all day if I needed to. I know it’s selfish of me to be thinking this way but it’s hard when you feel like poop on a stick and you can’t have a minute to yourself. I wish I could sleep for a couple months and wake up when the first trimester is over.

Along with the morning (or should I say “all-day”) sickness, DH is sicker than a dog, too, and I’m doing my best to keep Christian and me healthy. He’s been sick since Thursday and finally starting to feel better so hopefully that means we’re close to being in the clear.

On a happy note, it’s finally November which means things are slowly starting to scream “holiday season”. I love the holidays!!! I listen to Christmas music year-round (yes, I’m one of those people! lol) and wish the holidays lasted longer than about a month. I’m extra excited this year because we’ll be announcing the pregnancy at Christmas. I haven’t made up my mind as to how we’re going to do it, but I think a “big brother” t-shirt for Christian and perhaps some personalized M&Ms may do the trick. If anyone has any better ideas, please leave a comment! I’d love to hear them.

I’m still being a complete procrastinator in regards to starting my chart in OB. A part of me doesn’t want to go to the hospital because it’s probably swarming with sick people (OB clinic is in the hospital) and I don’t want to risk us getting sick. However, I know I need to get my rear in gear and get things going so that I can schedule my first appt. I think my first appt will be around 10 weeks and I’ll be 7 weeks on Thursday so I may want to hurry up before all of the appt slots are taken. Ugh, I just hate having to go through all the paperwork and bring Christian along. God knows if he’ll actually behave in his stroller while I fill everything out or if he’ll be a terror. :/ I may wait until next week so that I have a better chance of having DH get an hour or two off of work so that he can watch Christian for me. It’s not as easy to coordinate everything when you have a kid! lol
