some clues

  • Every day at 9:30am, I eat a big bowl of cottage cheese.
  • I am beginning to look like I need to go on Weight Watchers.
  • Frosted Mini Wheats make me gag (literally).
  • I'm ready to turn in around 9pm.
Yep, for those of you who are not Facebook fanatics, it's true. I'm pregnant again, due August 18. Which happily happens to be my dad's birthday. Ivy and Baby #3 will be 18 months apart. A little closer together than we had planned, but we're excited just the same. :) Now I'm praying that my 2-year-old will mature a LOT in the next 7 months...

Also. I am showing already at 8 1/2 weeks. You may think I am exaggerating, but I promise you that any observant (female) stranger would think I am pregnant. People tell me this is normal with #3 but I don't believe them. People think they look big but they really don't. I can't remember ever thinking someone looked pregnant during their first trimester. This is different. I'm planning on gaining about 60 pounds. Bring on the cottage cheese.

Actually, I am going to post a picture soon. Maybe when I have a chance to put on some makeup. You'll see.

  1. Congrats again! And you're not alone, I started wearing maternity pants at 6 weeks, and it's only my second! :-)

  2. oh yay! I had not heard this exciting news yet! I'm so excited for you! Take it from someone who's been there: there are some easy parts to having babies close in age.
    And I'm sure you took fantastic.
    Congratulations to all you Lugbills!

  3. I just had to laugh at your humor. :) You have to show early...there is no where on your petite body to hide a little one, even for a trimester.

  4. No worries about showing early!! With Jerek I was in maternity pants at 10 weeks, with this one I was definitely showing by 7 weeks, but held off on preggo pants until about 18 weeks with the help of some belly bands. Besides, you are beautiful pregnant; relish it!

  5. Congratulations Jess!!!! Hooray for August babies. =) I gained very little with Lillian but this one is already different. I'm showing too and eating like a crazy lady. Every 2 hours (while awake) my body starts yelling at me and I eat. I don't even like cottage cheese - except when I'm pregnant - now I'll think of you as I eat it...every day =)
