Cat's out of the bag

...or else somebody's puttin' on some weight...

Already in maternity pants and lovin' it!

Yes, we're expecting Li'l Tran #2 - due date December 24th, 2010! Talk about an amazing Christmas gift! This is also my very good excuse for not posting here for quite awhile. The nausea and exhaustion hit right at 6 weeks and we are now on week 14 and it's still going strong. With Nora the bad symptoms stopped around 16 weeks, so I am praying I only have a couple more weeks of this (or less, I sure wouldn't mind). This first trimester seems to be even harder than it was with Nora, and I was working full time while pregnant with her. I have no idea how I did it?! But, Thang seems to think I've just forgotten how bad it was.

God is continually reminding me that I am amazingly blessed to have this baby growing inside me and I need to stop whining. And, I have an awesome husband who has literally picked up all the slack over the past couple of months - after working all day he makes dinner (or just as often goes and picks it up), gives Nora her baths and puts her to bed almost every night, cleans up the kitchen (a room I almost can't stand to enter these days), and has done some major grocery shopping (which, bless his heart, takes him about twice as long as it takes me since I've gotten it down to a science). Thang is such a gift and I literally don't know how I would survive without him!

Nora knows there's a baby inside Mommy's tummy and will point to it when asked...but she also seems to think there's one in her tummy too. Hope she's not too disappointed in about 6 months!

Nora slurping up a noodle like a pro!

We are so excited to meet this little person. Thang is convinced it's a boy, I am sure it's another girl. We'll find out in about 6 weeks who's right! Either way, they will be, and are, so loved!!!
