Thankful Thursday- Baby #2 Is On The Way!!

This Thankful Thursday will be a little different than all the others.  Normally I will list 5 things that I am thankful for.  Today I am going to mention one item.  I have been thankful for this since November 14th, 2010, but have kept quiet for numerous reasons.  Mike and I are pleased to announce that in July 2011 we will be adding another member to the Jurbala family!! 

I do not have a picture to post yet because I look more like I ate too many donuts than pregnant.  I am definitely showing more now than I was with Gwen.  With Gwen I wore my normal clothes until almost 17 weeks and at 13 weeks I am already using my Bella Band and have worn maternity jeans (they kept falling down though). 

FAQs
1.  What is your due date?  July 30, 2011

2.  Will you be finding out the sex?  No

3.  How are you feeling?  Like with Gwen I started getting sick at 5 weeks.  I would dry heave in the mornings 3-5X/week and get nauseous every night around dinner time.  The only differences with Baby #2 is that I am constipated, get stomach cramps, and am insanely exhausted.  I am now almost 13 weeks and I do have more good days than bad, but still don't feel well in the evenings.  With Gwen I was sick until almost 16 weeks, so I am really hoping that all this ends soon so I can become a productive member of society.

4.  Will you do anything different this pregnancy?  No.  Once I feel better I will start working out 5X a week and watch what I eat.  I put on 28 lbs with Gwen and hope to stay around that with this baby as well.  I had an easy labor, recovery, and the weight was gone by my 6 week post natal appointment and I believe 100% that it had to do with my healthy lifestyle while I was pregnant. 

5.  How is Gwen handling the idea of a new baby?  Gwen loves babies and loves the idea of having a baby come (even though she says all babies do is cry).  When we ask her what she is going to be, she yells "Big Sister".  She knows the baby is in my belly and she'll kiss my belly once in a while.  I think she will be an amazing big sister.  She will be about 3 months shy of 3 when the baby comes.

6.  What are your name choices?  We didn't tell the name with Gwen and we won't be telling names with this baby either.  We are open to ideas though :-)
