Guess what my friends?!
It has been so hard to keep it from all of you for all these weeks. But I wanted to be safe since I kept having cramps, but I guess it is all normal.
We are just so excited for another baby! Words can not express it.
We have a 5 year old girl and a 2 year old boy.

But other then that, I am still in my regular clothes.
But jeans are not comfortable anymore, so I am in skirts and dresses for the most part, which is fine with me since it is summer.

Stretch marks?
No, I bought myself this oil, but have not started using it yet.I haven't gotten any stretch marks with my first two pregnancy since I always used some sort of lotion.
Sleep:
I sleep fine, I just can't seem to get enough of sleep. I actually look forward to getting the kids to bed just so I can go to sleep.
What I miss:
Not feeling so sick to my stomach and so tired all the time.
Movement:
None so far.
Food cravings or aversions:
I only want to eat fresh fruits like grapes and berries.
All sight and smell of meat makes me sick to my stomach.
But since I have to make the kids breakfast and lunch, I usually make something for myself while I am at it. Something like an english muffin, toast or croissant.

Have you started to show yet:
Yep, there is definitely a small bump.
Gender:
Unknown, will not know until 20 weeks! Boy or girl, healthy is all we want!
Questions or concerns this weeks:
Still nervous since I'm early-on in the pregnancy. I know I need to take it easy and rest when my body tells me I need rest. The housework will have to wait. Baby Buys:
I bought this diaper bag, I figured that it would be great for either boy or girl, it is huge, which will be great to fit the baby's cloth diapers.
Thanks for visiting, and I hope you come along this amazing journey with me.
