We’ll we are back in San Jose for our 2nd Dr. appt. Sophie has got this trip down now and was such a little angel to travel with. She was so good yesterday that we drove straight to her bouncy and started to play as soon as we got to SJ. After the bouncy we went to the mall to play in her two favorite toy stores and then came back to finally check into the hotel.

Once we settled in we hopped right back out to her favorite restaurant (Applebees) and Sophie got her famous apple balloon (which she later let go of and the wind blew it into a field where daddy went to retrieve it and save the day and as soon as he got to it the balloon popped- ha!). The waitress said Bye Sophie when we were leaving the restaurant and i said say bye Sophie and Sophie turned around and said “Bye. Thank you for the dinner. Ciao”. Hahahaha!! She is too much lately. The other day we were at the bank in ST and the clerk said Bye Sophie and Sophie turned around and said “Bye. Im going with my daddy”.

Anyway, we wrapped up our day at another park next to Applebees where Sophie climbed up and down a slide and pushed daddy down about 50 times. She then proceeded to climb a picnic table and fell over the bench and under the table so by that point she had finally reached her dirt/bruise quota for the day and we headed back to call it a night.

Today is our appt to check on the little rugrat in the belly an hopefully all is going great. Will update later. I took a pic this morning of my belly b/c it was looking a bit like someone was  camping out in there so i’ll post below. I am now in my 3rd month an finally feeling good!!! AMEN!

You my sweet little blueberry sized kiddo have thrown me off my game! I wake up feeling ill, I go to sleep feeling ill. Even the mere smell of a food or sight of it makes me want to hurl! If there is any truth to the way you feel and the gender of your baby then you are most certainly another little girl in there. I just want someone to put an IV in me so i dont have to eat and i can just curl under the covers and sleep for the next few weeks. Unfortunately there is your firecracker sister out here who doesn’t understand nor accept the concept of mommy being tired so that whole sleep for weeks plan will just remain a fantasy.

Well i’m behind on the blog amongst other things in life since you have me so twisted. I don’t have a belly book here like I did in Chicago with Sophie so i’m going to keep some of our journey electronically for you. Here are the foods that you have made me completely despise:

1. Coffee
2. coconut water
3. tomatoes (i gagged even writing that)
4. basil
5. Sophie’s juice
6. cheddar cheese
7. greens

Those are the front runners right now and there are a few others here and there but above is what really sticks out most at the moment. Now for some foods i have actually craved:

1. watermelon
2. cucumber/cream cheese/potato chip sandwich (craved this with ur sissy too)
3. this pizza roll thing from the bakery in town
4. pomegranate seeds (can’t find these here but will go on the hunt next week in arkansas)

Yup that’s right, that is about all i have craved and crave really isnt the correct word. It is more like what i can tolerate to eat.

Anyway, i am going to try and catch up on this blog as i start having a little more energy and not feeling sick looking at the computer screen. You are taking your first flight next week to visit the rest of the Binns clan in Arkansas. Please go easy on me during these travels…as Sophie would say “pretty pretty pretty pretty plllleeeeeeeaaaase”!

We’ll have your first Dr’s appt when we get back so i’ll be updating then. We love you!!! Let’s hope this next couple of weeks are easier than the last. Get settled in there already!!! xoxo

11/12/2012 (date this was originally written) Well tonight we found out officially that you are creating your little home in my belly! I hope you’re getting comfy in there. You have a big sissy Sophie out here, two parents who already adore you, two pups named Charlie and Betsy, and a kitty named Lulu (who just ate a poisonous frog tonight so may not be here when you arrive). You are prob the size of a grain of sand right now and we already love you to pieces. Daddy and I are overwhelmed with emotions tonight and your sister well, she was busy watching Winnie the Pooh and running from the pregnancy stick thinking it was a thermometer. She is a quirky one and coming from our gene pool im sure you will be too!! We love you and are so excited for the journey ahead. Keep up the good work my little poppyseed (i looked it up and you are the size of a poppyseed, some could argue this is a step up from a grain of sand). Daddy sang you the ABC’s tonight. He will do this every night until you are born, be glad it is daddy and not mommy, I am a bit tone deaf. Guess we’ll have to sort out this blog thing now and get you your own little blog. I’ll work on it poppyseed. Goodnight xoxo
