Emma: Big Sister

Emma will be a big sister in August 2014. My due date is August 8, 2014 and Emma is excited enough for her age. She doesn't know too much but she kisses my belly button to kiss the baby.

I missed my period on Thanksgiving while we were in Savannah so I knew immediately since I have been regular. I took a test the following Monday. (I also ordered fried pickles while in Savannah; the cravings had already started.) We told our families over Christmas; my family knew before we said anything because I was drinking water.

I have felt fantastic so far and love being pregnant. Greg says that I have been very mean and I will admit that I have been easily frustrated. Our doctors visits have gone by breezily and we will find out the gender on March 21. I have definitely been showing a lot earlier, although it felt like fat for a long while. I also started the pregnancy 12 pounds lighter than with Emma.
