Sharing the News, Take One

Even though your big sister doesn't quite understand what's going on, she was the one that broke the news to your Nonna and Ga.  Your daddy proudly showed his parents the "Big Sister" T-shirt that Ellie was wearing in your honor.  There was screaming, laughing, hitting, hugging and congratulating that followed.  Your Nonna and Ga are excited to welcome you as their fifth grandchild!

Morning, Afternoon & Evening Sickness

Well, I was really hoping to avoid "morning" sickness this time around, but alas, it has arrived.  Thank goodness for Zofran or you would not be getting any nutrition at all!  I keep telling myself that it's a good sign that you're growing strong in there; that is what's keeping me going.  I can handle all of this and more if it means that you're healthy and safe in there.  I do hope that it goes away sooner than last time though...I'm beginning to get lost in all that needs to be done since I'm spending all of my "free time" sleeping.

I have to say a not-quite heartfelt thank you to your grandma for this.  I hear that morning sickness is somewhat hereditary and she got it with each of her pregnancies.  Looks like I have a lot to look forward to...most of all you in 33 weeks!
