This past weekend we finally told Alfonso's daughters that they were going to have a little brother. Don't tell them, but I think they were pretty much the last people on earth to know. I'm not sure what Alfonso's reason was for waiting so long, but I was trying to spare myself some time with the constant "When is the baby coming?" question. We all know how kids can keep asking the same question a million times! Their reaction was pretty cute, I must admit: confused, surprised and excited all at the same time. They ran over hugging and kissing me, and assured me that they were old enough to take care of the baby whenever I needed them to (umm, maybe in about ten years). They had mentioned to me before that they would specific like a baby brother and I told them I would see what I could do... I'm glad I pulled through for them! The only word that describes how Alfonso feels about our baby boy is: ecstatic. He is so excited, it cracks me up. Once we told the girls, it was like all of the sudden they realized my stomach had a little bump, and they kept pointing it out to me. See below :)
I'm exactly 20 weeks and I'm feeling much better. It's almost like the last 3-4 months of feeling nausea were just a bad dream that I had. I almost forgot what it felt like to have to run to the bathroom every time I ate something(keyword: almost). I hear it comes back towards the end, so I'm not looking forward to that... but I will take it over the swine flu any day. Is anybody else completely terrified of this virus AND the vaccine, or is it just me?
