I realize that I blogged even the tiniest moments of my first pregnancy and haven't done jack with the second one. I guess it is less eventful the second time around. So far, I've had more nausea and actual purgative results. I had 3 migraines in the first trimester, one during a class trip with Si's class to the Museum of Natural History. When I got home, I painted the rug a fabulous new color which my lovely A cleaned up with true love. True love.

I popped before 3 months this time and have been able to deal with low riding jeans. I've started to lose weight again. Pregnancy diet, y'all. My body seems to like the extra hormonal rush, which makes me think that birth control pills must have ruined my life.

We are now at about 13 weeks. Our nuchal tissue scan brought our risk of down syndrome to like super minimal. (nice!) I just have to remember to eat.

My cravings this time are latkes and pierogi, though at the beginning all I wanted was jamaican chicken and veggie patties with hot sauce. I haven't even been able to smell meat of any kind without feeling ill. Which also explains my craving for bulgar and lentil.

I believe we are going to find out the gender. So far the ultrasound looks just like Si. He's excited to be a big brother and I'm excited to watch him with his new sib.

I'll try to keep everyone updated with the gritty details. Talk soon.
