Yesterday I went for a second scan - you see readers I am pregnant - and am happy to reveal the scan showed a viable pregnancy - heartbeat. I had a m/c a few months ago and was not expecting to become pregnant. I am taking progesterone tablets to maintain the pregnancy for the next 3 weeks, which after the very first dose I can now introduce two new members to the family - boob a and boob b. They are now their own entities. Seriously huge swollen teats. This is after the already enlarged state just from becoming pregnant (that is how i knew I was the 2nd time round). At the scan Jackson piped up repeated me loudly announcing to the nursing staff "We had a NICE surprise!"
Yes we did Jackson - a very nice surprise.
If everything goes well this next month and until September - we will be adding to our family.
I am nauseated beyond any reasonable expectation, and the only thing that helps is iced water or chilli cheese coney dog from Sonic - or pepperoni pizza with anchovies. I have gained 5 pounds since I became pregnant and I don't think its the iced water. Shit - I said this time I would be fit - and not gain as much weight as I did with Jackson - as you all know I gained 70 pounds with J, and its taken two years to get it off. Hmmmm. Well I will be 8 weeks this week so wish us luck for the next month or so! Brad is slightly stressed, poor man - his lot in life a sick wife and jumping bean 2 yr old and crazy dog. Actually - wish Brad luck for the next few months!

I am also excited that all our children - meaning the young harris' are around the same age - with Sara's bub due by Friday, Christopher just a year ahead of him/her and then J with all his other cousins - what a life! Some of my favorite memories are fun summer days spent with my cousins. I hope the same for Jackson.
