Big News!

Hello blog, it's been a while. I have been feeling very tired and slightly sick so I have been ignoring you... But with good reason; as it turns out, there may be another Monkey appearing in a few months!

If all goes well, little "Squish", as it's been called, should be making it's way into this world early June, 2010.

So far everything has been pretty routine. There's been a bit of morning sickness, and afternoon sickness, oh, and night sickness too, but it has not been too bad. Definitely no where in the league of sickness I suffered whilst pregnant with Annabelle. These days I am feeling better, no where near as tired and much less nauseous. Hopefully the worst in over.

We recently told Annabelle & Jack about the big news and they are both VERY excited. They had completely different reactions: Annabelle started jumping up and down in excitement and Jack started asking technical questions like, "if you eat food will it hit the baby in the head" & "is the baby made of metal?" (he thought the ultrasound picture looked like metal). But once I explained that we will not be having a robotic baby, he seemed pretty happy to become a big brother... So excited in fact, that he then asked for 2 babies, one boy and one girl! When I told him that we will only be having one baby he decided he wants a boy. Annabelle, of course, wants a girl. She also wants to be there when I deliver the baby so she can see how it comes out... Um, I don't think so! The next ultrasound is scheduled on my birthday, January 12th- hopefully all goes well!
