My First Doctor's Appointment :)

Finally!!! Today, I was able to visit my doctor's office to receive the OFFICIAL word that I am, in fact, PREGNANT!!!

Everything is looking perfect, and I am scheduled to get my first ultrasound next month. I am SO EXCITED about that!

My due date is APRIL 5, 2008!!! It sounds like a lifetime away, but there is much to be done before then, so I am glad to have this time. I am SO excited, and Jason and I cannot wait to share this precious child with our families and friends, and especially NOAH!!!! He will be an awesome big brother!!

Thank you all for your constant support and encouragment! We love you!!! :)

My Very Special Birthday :)

Isn't my hula cake adorable?? My husband is so sweet! :)

Me & The Grandmothers-to-be....again!! :)
PROOF!!! THE BEST BIRTHDAY SURPRISE EVER! I will truly never forget this birthday.....how could I? It was a dream of mine to become a mother again, and finding out on my birthday made the dream so much more extraordinary! :) I have been busting at the seams, wanting to share this memory with all of you! Keep us in your prayers, ok?

Love, Jason, Summer, Noah, & Baby Pendley :)

Tummy Burn :(

It's already started.....I have heartburn in the pit of my stomach, and I feel nauseated tonight after eating dinner. Most of you who knew me when I was pregnant with Noah remember the terrible heartburn and reflux that I had.....but, it wasn't bad until I was around 22 weeks. I literally ate Rice-A-Roni and Macaroni for the entire last trimester of my first pregnancy. Those were the ONLY things that did not give me bad reflux or heartburn. And, I'm not ready to go there yet......

This is such a familiar feeling.....one that I was hoping not to experience again. Oh, well. It could be far worse I suppose.

The last 2 days have brought my first signs of morning sickness, although it's been pretty mild. Today, I took a 2 hour nap when Noah napped, which is not something I would normally do. I am SO TIRED........but, I'm feeling good still.

Time for bed.....

A Corny Lunch :)

I have NO cravings.....and not really an appetite either! I have the will to eat, but there is just nothing that is appealing......has anyone else went through this?? I don't remember feeling this way with Noah either. Last night, Jason and I took Noah to eat some Mexican food, which on any given day is my FAVORITE food in the world!!! It tasted great, but I wasn't even sure that I wanted it until we got there....I had to taste it before I knew I really wanted to eat more of it. Weird, huh? A few days ago, I went to the grocery store to get Noah some juice, and SOMEHOW some powdered sugar donuts ended up in my cart......see, it's strange. I would have never thought about getting those donuts BEFORE I walked into the store.

Today, I ate a mini corn on the cob for lunch.......that's just not gonna get it.......ugh.

Maybe I just need some new recipes.......feel free to send me some!

6 Week Bump.....Already???

I guess what they say is true.....everything happens faster with the second pregnancy :) At least I feel fabulous! I've been swimming and doing pilates regularly this week...it feels so good to do something good for myself. When I was pregnant with Noah, I worked full-time, and I never had energy to work out. This time, I'm really enjoying myself......so far.

What Happened to my Brain Cells???

Ok, it's true....I am forgetting everything...I mean it! Supposedly, I am 6 weeks pregnant....feeling fabulous, having energy, doing prenatal pilates.......and I'm lacking brain cells?

I guess you can't have it all...I don't remember ever feeling this way during my pregnancy with Noah until the middle or end, so this is completely new to me.

On the other hand, life is great! I can't believe the energy that I have! Maybe I'm just extremely motivated because I know that I have an important commitment to Noah....and my husband (sorry, Jase! :). In other words, I don't have time to be tired. I am just wearing too many hats, you know?

Anyway, this is totally off the subject (I have a million thoughts going through my mind at once), but many of you know the renovations and changes that we are doing to our house, right? Well, finding out that I am pregnant just added to the list. My Poor Husband......Bless His Heart. Now, there's another room to think about....more decorations, not to mention baby supplies and the other millions of things I'm probably forgetting...he, he! So, when you pray for me and the pregnancy.....send a prayer up for Jason too, okay?? I can never be too sweet to him for all he does for me......at least I'm not having mood swings and making him hate his life! I've heard that sometimes women go through terrible moods.....I would hate that for myself and for Jason. Love Ya Jase! :)

Well, better go.....I'm excited about sending you all this blog next week after my doctor's appointment.....I want to hear what you all have to share and the advice that you all will give me. I get the best emails, so thank you all!!! Pray for Baby Pendley! :)
