Very long time, no update:)

Its been forever since I've updated, so all 4 of you that read my blog can dry your eyes b/c I'm back:) I am now 17-19 weeks pregnant. My dr. says 19 going by my LMP, but the first ultrasound measurements from week 5 say 17 weeks. My dr. says we'll find out a more definite date on Feb. 5th when we also find out the sex of our new little one. I'm not too stressed about the discrepancy in due dates b/c they changed Cam's like 17 million times:) I'm enoying this 2nd trimester so far. I was super sick during my fist trimester, so I am simply relieved to have that over with. My weight gain so far is sitting about negative 5-7 pounds b/c I lost a good amount during that first 14 weeks. I'm not stressed about that - not like I started out at 95 lbs or anything:)
Cam is so excited about being a big brother. He is completely convinced that the baby is a girl and refuses to hear any talk of a possible boy. He also says he is pregnant (which is something you never want to hear your male child say), and asks about a million questions. We bought him the books, "What to Expect when Mommy's Having a Baby" and "What to Expect when the Baby Comes Home" by the same people who collaborated "What to Expect when You're Expecting." They've been very helpful and help to explain the hard questions, especially about how the baby got in my tummy and how it gets out:) Although we edited a bit, b/c I'm not ready to teach my five year old about ALL my anatomy, if you know what I mean. Plus, Cam repeats "interesting words" that he learns and I'm sure some of these words would qualify as "interesting". Nothing much else going on in our little world, just working hard and keeping busy! Maybe I won't wait so long to update next time:)
