It's a....

After our little weekend down south for the 4th of July holidays where I was feeling extra tired, we learned that we are expecting another baby in March.  It was a little surreal at first (it still is a little now) because we hadn't been planning to have another baby yet.  It's a little girl which we are thrilled about.

Having taken a pregnancy test one night, I was in shock.  Rick was just about asleep.  I thought to myself that I couldn't tell him that night or he wouldn't be able to sleep at all.  The morning after I took the test, I told Rick, "I don't think that I'm going to be able to lose the weight I wanted to in time for the photo shoot."  (We were having a family photo shoot a few weeks later.)  He asked why and I told him, "Because I'm pregnant."  His immediate response, which is always his response when I tell him I'm pregnant, was "No, you're not?!"  After a bit of discussion it started to sink in, for the both of us.

And, I actually was able to lose weight - 11lbs!  I had no appetite and constant nausea during my first trimester.  I lost eight pounds with Simon so it wasn't a surprise.  But not the funnest way to lose weight.  I wouldn't recommend it.
