"Mimi"

I just have to say, that Sydney makes me laugh literally every day!  Lately she has been calling me "mimi".  She will yell at me from across the apartment, "MIMI!"  and come running to me.  It is just so funny and cute.  I think she got it because she used to say mama, and would  hear Matt saying mommy, so she started saying mimi.  Anyway, here are a few pictures of her antics this past week...

I have to laugh that no one got my very subtle hint that we were having a baby!  Truthfully, I wasn't sure if I wanted the news out yet, so I made it subtle.  But news travels fast, and relatives keep writing on my facebook wall, so I figured I better just spell it out and spill the beans!  As far as baby news goes... I know I haven't shared much, because truly there is not much to share.  I'm about 9 weeks along, so not very far... I see the doctor on March 16th for my first appointment and will have an official due date then, but as far as my calculations go, I'm thinking it's on or around October 10th.  I haven't been feeling great... I get sick mostly in the evenings and at night, which makes sleeping hard.  But, I do know that it could be a lot worse.  The main thing is that I've been very TIRED.  I run out of energy very quickly!  I am looking forward to the 2nd trimester, when I will be feeling better and pregnancy will just be normal.  It kind of hasn't sunk in yet, probably because I haven't gone to the doctor.  I think also, I haven't been as anxious about what pregnancy will be like, or what it will be like to have a baby, since I have experienced it before.  So, it hasn't been on my mind as much as with Sydney.  But, we are very excited to be having another baby!  It is kind of weird to think about it, since Sydney still seems so little, but she will be almost 2 (23 months) by the time the baby arrives, so we are excited that they will be able to be pretty close in age.  I am afraid that this baby will rock her world though!  Sydney loves our attention, so it will be quite an adjustment, as I'm sure every baby is... but we have plenty of time to worry about that!  It's a good thing that pregnancy lasts 9 months, otherwise I don't know how we'd ever be prepared!
