Bet you would have never guessed this news (At least for a couple months)

I have been holding off until it was confirmed by a doctor, but it is now official.  Baby #2 will be here in November.  We are very happy.  I am so excited to see LP's interaction with her new baby sibling.  For those of you that knew me during my last pregnancy, it wasn't very pretty.  I have decided that my body completely rejects being pregnant.  My body protests for the entire 40 weeks in one way or another.  I pray that this time will be different.  Although I have to say that it's not looking so promising.  I threw up in the bathroom at work twice last week and on my way to work one day, I had to pull over in a parking lot and vomit (my condolences to anyone I might know that works at the insurance company whose parking lot I tossed my cookies that morning).  Nausea has pretty much moved in and decided to hang around.  This really sucks.  I told myself that I was really going to try to enjoy this pregnancy because I have so many friends who really seemed to enjoy being pregnant and I had convinced myself that maybe I was just being a sissy the first time around.  The farther you get away from something, the more fuzzy the memories become. 

Nope, I wasn't being a sissy, this really sucks.  I pretty much feel like I have the flu all the time.  I have the nausea sweats all day long.  Last pregnancy, I got carpal tunnel and had to deal with that for the last 3 months.  There were also some weird things that happened to my body that are too personal to mention on this forum, but you get the picture.  Not to mention the fact that I swelled to the size of a small spaceship towards the end.  I do believe that God creating a life inside a person is a beautiful thing, however, the beauty is lost on me while I am experiencing it. 

All complaining aside, I am so grateful to be pregnant again, even if my body hates me for it.  Chris and I are both scared to have a second child.  Will the new baby be a tiny cyclone of energy like LP?  Can we handle 2 LPs?  I am banking on the fact that everyone tells me that their children are all different.  I just pray for a healthy baby and a healthy pregnancy, even if I give birth to another Tracy tornado. 

Here is a 3D pic of our little peanut. 

Don't worry, baby #2 doesnt really have 4 arms, doctor assured me of that. :)
