With Larkyn, I wrote about my pregnancy a LOT. I don't really plan to do as much this time around because I've already done it and this pregnancy is very similar to hers. Differences?
- I started showing about the minute I took the positive test. Which is kinda fun/kinda not because I am not sharing this news with my students and parents YET. Not until I have my next doctor appointment on 9/12. Yeahhhhh, awkward.
- I have to worry about a flailing, jumping, cuddling 2 year old's elbows and knees!
- I'm actually watching the "dangerous" foods more this time around. I don't know why. I'm wary of homemade treats, freaked about lunch meat, and not even touching seafood.

We have a short list of names that we both like. I'm not 100% sure on either, so if something else comes along, we may change our minds. We will find out and share the gender, but the name will stay a surprise again. You know, to eliminate those awesome conversations where people tell you what they think of the names and you don't want to hear it. Or receiving personalized items and then having to stick with the name! #firstworldproblems
The only thing that has me worried is the prospect of having to move after the baby is here. I HATE the thought of moving. I love our street, I love our proximity to anything and everything, and I would love to stay here forever. But...do we really want them to share a room? I know people do it, but would you, honestly? When I search for houses in our area and price range, there is nothing. Moving up in space will most likely mean leaving our community. Which is not what I want. So let's just table that thought for now, shall we?
I can't wait until my next appointment. I am ready to embrace this baby a little more wholeheartedly, without worrying as much. It should be when I hear the heartbeat of this little friend, and I am soooo looking forward to that sound.

Of course, it was the same family member who was less than excited that it's going to be another girl, so I really should've known better, but I'm definitely zipping my lips from now on.
And I'm totally the opposite - I'm eating whatever I please - sushi even! I'm not eating oysters and clams but everything else is fair game.
I briefly thought about having them share rooms so we could keep the third bedroom as a guest bedroom but Sofia is still not sleeping well so guests are just going to have to fend for themselves until we get a bigger house! :-)
