FAQ

First of all, thank you all so much for the congratulations and well wishes! We had been trying for almost a year and a half, so needless to say we are so very excited to be expecting our 2nd child!

I know I didn't include those all important details that everyone wants to know when you find out someone is pregnant! So here are some answers! I have a separate post on when I finally tested, how I told Joe, and the grandparents, and Kayla's, reaction!

1. I'll be 7 weeks on Sunday.

2. I'm due on Feb 24th.

3. I found out on Tuesday, June 19th. That was the morning after we returned home from our
vacation/road trip. Which, yes, means that it did indeed happen while we were gone!

4. That was also 2 days after Father's Day - belated gift for Joe! Why didn't I test on Father's Day? Believe me I was tempted, but you'll find out why I didn't in the above-mentioned, soon- to-be post.

5. If I can help it we won't be finding out the sex. We didn't with Kayla and I liked it that way. Although the farther I get in this pregnancy I might not be able to stand the suspense any longer and will just need to know. Maybe. Hopefully not though. I liked finding out at birth that we had a daughter and am looking forward to that experience again.

6. I really don't have a preference to whether we have a boy or girl. Sure having a boy would be nice to have one of each, but I would be just as happy with another girl (besides the fact that I have most all of Kayla's old clothes and would love to have a girl to wear them again!)

7. I've been feeling great! Ok I've been really tired and hungry. It seems I'm always complaining to Joe how hungry I am - just can't seem to curb the hunger pains!

8. So far no morning sickness (please knock on wood now that I've put this down in writing for all to see!) But I didn't experience any with Kayla either, so hopefully I'll be just as lucky the 2nd time around too.

9. My first doctor appt isn't until July 25th. It seems so far away, but I'll only be 9 weeks then.

10. Joe is deploying in a couple of months. He's not going to Iraq, but he is going somewhere "over there." He's only supposed to be gone for 4 months; so he should be back about a month before the baby is due.

I think that just about covers it for now!
