This was a bit of a shock for Anthony and I. We found out that I was pregnant the Tuesday night before Thanksgiving. It was a little scary at first because you see Anthony is scheduled to take the Bar Exam on July 28th and 29th and I am due on July 26th! Now, I guess you can say we are still nervous and scared for the timing but - what can you do? It will all be fine, and I must say we are truly excited to have a new little child joining our family.
Daddy wants a boy, and Bella tells me almost everyday that she needs a brother because she doesn't have one of those! Natalie, well, she just doesn't quite understand yet, but Bella assures me that she wants a brother too. I think I'd like a boy for Anthony, but in the end all any of us want is a healthy baby - girl or boy. The doctor tells us that we should know in about 1 month.
As of today I am 12 weeks pregnant. I had some problems with feeling sick at night, but I never did throw up. I just felt awful. Now I'm feeling alright - except am a bit annoyed at how big I am already! I mean seriously! I look like I'm about 20 weeks pregnant! I guess I thought b/c I've gotten in shape and am still working out that I would avoid showing for a while. This is the soonest I have shown. Many of my friends who have 3+ tell me that for them the more children they had the faster they showed - this just seems ridiculous to me. I mean, the baby is the size of a lime why would I be THIS big?! With Natalie I didn't even show until week 18 - I was hoping for the same this time around, but I guess I'm not going to be that lucky again.
(Bella took this picture of me 2 days ago. I think I may be arching my back a bit so I may look bigger - but probably not, I just can't believe how big I am!)It is going to be a busy 7 months for us with Anthony's last semester, planning a move, graduating, studying for the bar, having a baby and taking the bar - oh yeah and then actually moving. We have alot of exciting changes ahead for us in 2008. It should be an interesting year.
Thanks for the congrats and well wishes. I am adding a poll to the side to see your opinion of girl or boy - and I will keep you posted on my progress.

Congrats again Jennifer. Isn't it funny how sometimes things like that take us by surprise?
Your belly is so cute!
I think it is a boy. My ben was a small baby, but made my stomach stick WAY out. He must have been wedged up in there somehow-- who knows! Congrats again!
Wow! That is a lot on your plate! Hang in there!
Congratulations! I'm going to add your blog address to my link list, if you don't mind, so I can stop by more often. Good luck with everything!
Congrats! That is so exciting! And I don't think you look that big yet.
