And coming in October...

Well the latest exciting news in the Allen family is that we are expecting baby #2! Baby will be coming at the end of October. My dad is really hoping for his birthday, October 19th, but we'll see.

For the most part I have been feeling pretty good. I only had one bad night leaning over the toilet. Which, unfortunately, is more than I ever threw up when I was pregnant with Jeffrey. With Jeffrey I threw up a grand total of zero times and it was wonderful. Other than that one dark and stormy night I've just had the usual pregnancy complaints: nausea, tiredness, occasional dizziness, and I'm sure Danny would say I've had some occasional grouchiness.

Right now I am 10 1/2 weeks along but already feel like my clothes don't want to fit. I've only gained 1 1/2 lbs but I've graduated to the drawstring jeans and sweatpants most of the time. They say you show earlier in your subsequent pregnancies, right?

Jeffrey is not quite sure what to think when we talk about the baby in Mommy's tummy. He's convinced it lives in my bellybutton. For the first couple times we mentioned it he pointed at his bellybutton and said "Baby in Jeffrey's tummy too." I guess that'll take a while to really understand.

Soon we'll post pictures so you can all see how huge I will get. Danny's hoping for a little girl, I'll be happy with either a girl or a boy. We'll keep you posted!
