Oh the misery...

So I'm 9wks today according to my ultrasound and morning sickness (all day sickness) and fatigue are in full swing. This morning Jacob decided to really test my limits. First, he throws up in his high chair. I was frantically trying to pull him out of the chair to comfort him while gagging and trying not to throw up myself. I knew there was no way I was going to be able to clean this up without making a bigger mess, so I gave Aaron a call and luckily he was available to give me a hand (another perk to living at the hatchery). Aaron rescued me so that I could go vomit in the restroom as opposed to all over our kitchen floor, whew! Then, Jacob tests me again. I picked Jacob up to go change his diaper. (Jacob is VERY obvious when he fills a dirty diaper). So as we are walking back to the bedroom, Jake lies his little head on my shoulder and gives me a little hug. I stop and look at him hugging me in the mirror, when my eyes are immediately drawn down to his back and diaper and I realize that, just like when he was a newborn, we've had a major blow-out. Poop was all the way up his back (he was only wearing a diaper at the time... I had just given him a bath since his throw up incident). And now on my arm that is wrapped around him. Gross poop with black olives (not that you really wanted a visual - but I just had to share so you could really understand how painful this experience was). I ran back into the kitchen and checked the clock... Damn, 10am. It hasn't even been an hour since I called Aaron, so I didn't feel like I could call him again and it was WAY to long to wait for Aaron to come home for lunch. So, I threw the kid in the tub and dry heaved throughout his bath/shower/detox. Lucky for me, I had just thrown up everything inside me just a bit earlier, so I didn't have to worry about that. All I could think of was how much I wish I had decided to work today. Blah. Gross. Nasty. You know I wasn't too sure before this pregnancy if I wanted more than two kids. Now I am sure. Two kids.

In other baby news, I ordered a doppler so we could hear the heartbeat at home. We did this with Jacob and I loved it. It's so reassuring to hear and I think it helped us bond early with the baby/pregnancy because we would listen to Jacob's heart every night before bed. I can't wait till it comes in! Our next OB appt is on friday, so if our doppler doesn't come in before that, we should be able to hear it at that appointment.

Also, I started a little internet guessing game for baby #2. Put your guesses in now so we can see if any of the gender predictions are right before the 20wk u/s. I think you can change your guesses too, up until a week or so before the birth. The link is on the left!
