Today I Do Not Love Arizona

In all actuality, I don't even like it. I just got home from running errands, and the thermometer in the Suburban read 109. That wasn't after sitting in the sun in a parking lot (that reading was 119), it was the temperature that was consistent as I was driving around.

I expect this kind of heat in July, August and September, and even in June. But it's May, people.

It's hot and I'm pregnant. It's going to be a long, long summer...

Curiousity About Baby #2

I have to say, I thought that after Ryan I'd be a pro at this whole pregnancy thing, but that's not quite how it's happening. Pretty much everything about this pregnancy has been different than the first one--how sick I've been, how long I was sick, where I'm carrying the baby, how it's affecting my skin...I could go on and on.

I asked my doctor today if she thought that really different pregnancies usually mean different sexes, and she said absolutely not. I've been thinking this one is a girl, but only because of how different it has been. Bryan finally made his prediction, and he's thinking boy. I kind of hope he's right, because I would LOVE another boy.

I made my ultrasound appointment today, so we'll find out on July 2. Until then, let us know what you think and take the poll to the right.

Ryan's Big News

So Ryan has some pretty exciting news...he's going to be a big brother!

Baby #2 is due November 23, and we are ecstatic. This pregnancy has been pretty rough, however, so I am very much looking forward to the end of the first trimester and the accompanying "morning" sickness.

The kids will be 16 months apart, which I'm sure will be an adventure. Everyone we talk to says that while it's hard at first, once they get a little older and can play together, it's great.

Anyway, between being sick, exhausted and taking care of Ryan I haven't been good for much lately, including posting on ye olde blog. Give me a few weeks though, and I should be back to my old self!
