Well, two announcements: 1-He is going to be a big brother and 2-He drools a lot!

But assuming most of you are more interested in the first announcement, here are all the details (I am borrowing some FAQs from my friend Merritt):

When are you due? February 8th

How far along are you? 13 weeks on Wednesday

How far apart in age will the two be? I got this question at the store on Friday!! A little presumptuous I thought since I don’t really look that pregnant yet! But in any case, they will be 2 years and 4 months apart

How are you feeling? Not that bad! I am a little tired but I think I am clearing the morning sickness stage. It hit me hard early on but has since tapered off.

Are you moving? Not unless we win the lottery, which will be difficult since we don’t play. We will have to figure out how to squeeze two kids into a tiny little room, at least for a few years.

Does Sam know? Not really. I have been telling him there is a baby in my tummy but I think he finds this more confusing that anything else.

Will you find out the gender? Of course! I can’t imagine not knowing ahead of time. We have to wait until 20 weeks, which will be sometime in mid September.

Do you have any ideas about what it is? I think it is a boy. But of course, it is really hard for me to picture it being anything else. I kind of just keep picturing Sam in there! I actually took this new test called Intelligender. It is a pee-in-a-cup test that you can buy at the drug store. It has only  been on the market for a couple of years and is still patent pending. According to them, it is 90% effective when done right. It says I am having a boy. But after I took the test I looked it up online and almost everyone said it was about as accurate as flipping a coin. We’ll see!

Do you want a boy or a girl? I want a healthy baby! I would LOVE to have a girl at some point, but we plan to have more kids so I am really happy with a boy or a girl at this point. A girl would be fun (something new) but I also think it would be really fun for Sam to have a brother.

Are you having any cravings? Yes! I am thirsty all the time (not sure that really counts as a craving). And I am really craving tomatoes with salt, pickles, and minestrone soup!

Any other questions?
