Which brings me to another point....

For all you multiple kids Mamas out there...did you get bigger a little quicker with your subsequent children?? I mean I was just hoping I could get through the first trimester without someone asking was I pregnant! I know I started off probably 10-15 lbs heavier than I was before I got pregnant with Ethann but still.... I look at 13 weeks like I did at 17 weeks with E. Crazy, crazy. I'm trying to keep the weight gain in check with this pregnancy because I gained over 50 lbs with Ethann. It was a lot of water because I was seriously swollen. I mean ankles or cankles as mine were called as there was no distinction between my calfs and my ankles :( but still. I'm already 10 lbs heavier add another gigantic baby gain and the postnatal outlook is looking a little cloudy. Although, I did already tell Ryan that he needed to go ahead and start budgeting in a trainer so I can lose this baby weight come next June.

Every baby is different....

and that can't be more true!! With Ethann I was just nauseous. Now mind you I was sick from sun up to sun down but I never threw up. This baby...man oh man!! Not only have I thrown up but I've got acid reflux that is unbelievable! Add that to this taste, and yes it is a bad taste, that I can't seem to get rid of and the lack of energy and I AM THROUGH!!! I keep waiting for the 2nd trimester calm to kick in since I am 13 weeks as of yesterday. Hopefully soon though cause it is taking it's toll. Ryan keeps picking on me saying he wishes he could take my symptoms because he would just keep it moving and be a trooper! Uhhh yeah right...he's home "sick"now due to some stomach thing, so I can just imagine him trooping through having morning sickness :)

So everybody keep praying that this first trimester booby trap will slowly dissipate and I can enjoy everything going on...

Well Here we go AGAIN!!!

We, or rather I should say I, have come into the age of blogging! I am so excited and think this will force me to document our lives and the wonderful blessings we receive daily. And speaking of blessings.... the Burkett family will be adding a new addition come April!!!

That's right folks we're pregnant with #2 or Noodle as big brother Ethann refers to the baby. Here are a few pics of our newest little one as he/she has been growing. The bottom picture is Noodle at 6 weeks and the top picture is the baby at a little over 11weeks. It's amazing how much they change. I mean in just 4 weeks Noodle went from a blinking blimp to a baby. Look he/she's even sucking their thumb!!! Just precious....love it!

And if you're wondering why I keep saying he/she, well it's still too early to tell. They could have tried at the 11 week ultrasound but we decided that this go round we are NOT going to find out the sex. We want it to be a big surprise!! Well that's what we're saying right now, lol!! So only time will tell!!!

For those who have been with us on this journey, know that Ryan and I have been trying for another baby for awhile now (over a year...16 months to be exact, lol!!) and so this is a Clomid baby for us. Thank God for the miracles of medicines :) I do thank God though for blessing us with this child in due time. We had a plan on when we thought WE wanted a baby, but He had other plans
