oops, we did it again!

So, yes it's true. We are indeed pregnant again. We found out on a Friday after 3 more double-lined pregnancy tests. Afterwards, we went to Applebees for dinner. I told Robby we were pregnant with Aryn on a Friday and then celebrated at Applebees for dinner so I guess this is a tradition that we have started.
You know, just on a side note, I love how men say "we are pregnant". They don't experience the desire to eat everything in sight, the embarassment of flatulence that can actually melt your skin, or even the constant increase in pant size. I guess it's their way of feeling involved. I'll let him continue saying it:)
I would say that most people we know are aware of Baby G's existence in my womb and almost 100% of those had the same reaction. It goes something like this, " Oh wow, were you planning this...congratulations!" Notice the congratulations in secondary to the shock! It's alright though. We realize that having 2 kids 15 months apart will be challenging and even though Baby G was certainly planned, he/she wasn't planned so soon. Funny how that happens. I stopped taking my birth control in December because I kept forgetting to take the pills and it was literally making my hair fall out. So, I figured it would take a few months for the pill to get out of my system. Um wrong. Apparently, my eggs were lined up discussing amongst themselves who would be the lucky one this time. Hey, there's a lot of people out there that can't have children. Robby and I are very fortunate to be such fertile people :)
So, as of today I am 10 weeks along and feeling pretty good. I'm much more nauseous with this pregnancy, although I haven't thrown up. This makes me think it's a boy. I'll be honest here. I hope it is a boy. Only because I already have a girl. But if it is a girl, I will be equally as happy. Not only because it's my child and I'll love him/her regardless but because I never had a sister and always wanted one and I would be able to live vicariously through Aryn. If it's a boy, then I'm excited to dress him in khaki pants and argile sweaters! But only time will tell. For now, I am going to just concentrate on making sure I get enough to eat :)
