Top Ten Signs You Might Be Pregnant

Oh yes, hello.  It's me again.  Heidi.  I know we've met at least once, but I thought maybe I should reintroduce myself.  You know, since I haven't been around for 3 months!  I, of course, have lots of excuses, but I won't bore you with those.

But yes, I am pregnant . . . so here's my top ten list:

10 - You haven't done your hair or makeup in 2 weeks.

9 - Your table and counters are covered in take-out boxes.

8 - Your child could eat an entire meal by sitting under their high chair (no, really).

7 - People ask how you are feeling instead of how you are doing.

6 - You eat and crave random things like pack after pack of ramen noodles, toaster strudels, nachos, and lots and lots of toast.

5 - Unlike any other time in your life, your life is counted in weeks.

4 - You sleep 14 hours a day (whenever possible).

3 - Your library books are 2 months overdue (precisely as long as you've been pregnant).

2 - You get an email every week telling you how big your little fetus is (in terms of fruit sizes).

1 - You burst into tears, lose your temper, and fall into the depths of despair over the silliest things . . . like your husband's disagreeing with you about whether Kate has been rubbing her ears a lot recently.

Here are the answers to your commonly asked questions:

Little baby #2 is due on or around October 25.

This means I'm 10 weeks along (1/4 of the way there!) and my baby is the size of a prune.

I am not feeling nearly as miserable as last time, but still plenty miserable - especially since Kate and I have both been sick a lot (besides morning sickness).

Dave thinks it's a boy, and I tend to agree, but I don't feel as certain as I did with Kate.

Yes, I'm already getting fat.

Well, that's all for now, I'm going to slowly try and rejoin the ranks of the blogging community, so wish me luck!
