HUFF BABY #2 IS ON ITS WAY!!!

Tonight, I decided to take a pregnancy test.  The last couple days, I had not been feeling necessarily myself.  I would feel slightly queasy if I hadn’t eaten and I was out of breath while trying to read to my students in class.  (Both of these symptoms reminded me of when I was pregnant with Ayla, so I began to wonder.)  Another strange symptom that I had been having was (and I know this probably sounds gross) is that I was swallowing a lot of extra spit!  I didn’t know where that was coming from all of a sudden, but I remember reading about it being a pregnancy symptom in some women. 

So I put Ayla to bed around 8:00pm, and I walked into our bathroom to take a pregnancy test.  I stood and watched the lines darken in disbelief.  Was I really seeing this correctly?  The first pregnancy test I would take while trying for this baby would be a Big Fat Positive!  I tried to gather my thoughts and wrap my brain around what I was seeing.  My heart began pounding so hard that I could almost hear it myself!  There was no way I couldn’t run down the stairs and show Blair what I had just discovered.  He was writing up a review for his job, and I walked into the office, set down the test, and looked at him in disbelief.  He stopped and just stared at me!  “Did you just take this right now?”  He asked.  “Yes!”  I shrieked!  He immediately jumped up and gave me a high five.  And then we called all of the grandparents!  We Skyped Nini and Pappaw, called Auntie Lee Lee and Cousin KK, and then called Fancy on the phone so that she would scream the news to Grand Dude and Uncle X.  I looked on the computer, and apparently the baby will be with us in December of this year!  Never in my wildest dreams did I think that we would have 2 kids less than 2 years apart!  I cannot even begin to fathom what their lives with be like together! 

I wonder if it will be a boy.  That’s what I think it is right now.  This time around, I have noticed that I want to eat grilled chicken and fish.  (I didn’t touch fish once the entire time I was pregnant with Ayla.)  I haven’t felt too sick yet, and coffee is easy to drink right now.  All of these things are a bit different from the last time.  Of course, we will not find out what the baby is early, so it will be a surprise that everyone will be waiting on!  WE CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   YAHOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
