Big Sis!

Well the news is out, we're going to be adding another little baby to our family!

I'm officially 11 weeks today with a due date of October 31st.  I'm praying that it won't be born on Korbyn's birthday.  We've already decided that we will just be throwing one huge birthday bash every year for both kids.

I'm so excited for this baby to be here already.  We decided that we don't want to know what the sex is.  I know it sounds very cliche, but ALL I care about is that it's healthy and happy, I could care less whether it has a penis or a vagina ;)  I think it makes it more exciting too.  I've also been thinking that I don't want to tell anybody names either, but we'll see how long that lasts.

So far Korbyn has been very excited that she's going to be a big sister.  We told her a couple weeks before we told anyone else, but the little tattletale let the cat out of the bag a few days early to memaw Loranne.  Loranne picks her up every Tuesday and Thursday and spends about an hour with her and then brings her back to the daycare so we can go home.  One day she brings her back and says "so I hear someone is going to be a big sister?!"  I was shocked because I couldn't believe that Korbyn could tell anyone.  Loranne said that she was asking Korbyn about her big girl bed and then out of the blue she said "I'm gonna be a big sister!"  That little rascal.

I'm sure she's going to go through a jealousy phase, and I won't hold it against her if she does.  I've been trying to prepare her the best I can.  I'll tell her that when the baby gets here it's going to cry a lot and mommy is going to have to spend a lot of time with the baby.  I keep asking her if she's going to be my big helper and she says "yes!"  I went through all my old pregnancy books and showed her pictures of as much as I could like bottles, pacifiers, pregnant bellies etc.  Every time she sees a baby now she crouches down and says "ohhhh, ihs so coot!"

When I was pregnant with Korbyn I felt wonderful.  I never even got the tiniest bit sick, I had that "glow," I never broke out, and I never got a single headache.  With this one, I was nauseous from the very beginning until about 8 weeks.  I would be extremely nauseous from the moment I woke up until I fell asleep, it was awful and nothing seemed to help.  I get a headache almost every other day and there is no "glow!"  I just feel bleh with this one.  A lot of people have told me because it's so different that means it's going to be a boy, but I don't think how you feel during the pregnancy means anything.  I've talked to some people who have had multiple pregnancies with the same sex, and they went through the same thing, so I'm not leaning towards boy or girl.  Like I said, I really have no interest whatsoever in knowing the sex of this baby.
