I just found out I am pregnant! I am so excited. We have been wanting another baby, but with my husband having been unemployed and then the move, it was put off. We decided to try after we moved and now I am pregnant! Perfect timing! And this time I get to be with my family, instead of half way around the planet! (I was living in Japan when my son was born). Although my dad is moving to St. Thomas this weekend, so he will be missing out on this birth too, unless he comes for an extended stay around my due date.

Speaking of my due date, it’s May 19, 2009. There are two other people in my extended family who have birthday’s in May. My husband’s grandmother’s birthday is May 7 and my brother-in-law’s wife, Kelly’s birthday is May 14. Now my child just has to be born on May 21 to complete the 7 days apart.

I really hope I have a girl. I love my son, but I would like to have a girl to be able to share my hobbies with. Although I do plan to teach Liam scrapbooking and other crafts. He will also know how to sew, even if it’s just stitching a tear or re-attaching a button.

So far my pregnancy has been very different than with my son. Before I knew I was pregnant immediately. There were defiant signs. This time there really isn’t any signs except the missing period and the positive pregnancy test. Also I am not nauseous. With my son I couldn’t even keep water down. This time all I want to do is eat. And if I don’t eat, I feel sick when my stomach is even partly empty. I have been feeling drained, but I am also sick with a bad cold.

Well I hope my pregnancy goes as well as with my son. The last 6 months with him were the best 6 months of my life! Physically, that is. I felt fantastic! I could eat dairy products! I could eat a lot of foods I would normally avoid because they made me ill! I craved cereal (with milk!) and ice cream all the time, two foods that would have made me sick. Even my depression didn’t bother me! I had felt healthier than I had ever felt before! I would love to feel that way again. Also the pregnancy had changed my metabolism so much, that after I gave birth my weight was 120lbs! I was 150lbs before I got pregnant. That was my weight when I graduated high school and collage! And now I never weigh more than 125lbs and that is with me not dieting. I just eat what I want. That does tend to be healthier choices, but I still eat a dozen or more Hershey Kisses in a day, and Oreos cookies (which I have started craving?). Mostly I eat smaller portions thoughout the day. I have healthy snacks with my son, too. So I eat more often, but less each time. I hope this new pregnancy won’t be messing with that.

I will be moving hopefully on Thurday. We will be leaving at night and I will have to do my first 12 hours drive on highway at night. I don’t do good on long drives. I hate driving on the highway. And most of all I hate driving at night. But I would rather do those last two than deal with my screaming son and lots of traffic during the day! So night time we will drive. I am making my husband take the cats in his car. I can’t stand the smell, it acts up my allergies after a while (small area) and I don’t want to deal with my son and two cats. I am not even sure I would be able to fit them all in my backseat anyways.

Here are some of my moving stats (includes current move):

• Total Year Alive: 28
• Total Moves: 24
• Longest Time Without A Move: 8 years
• Shortest Time Without A Move: 2 Months
• Total Houses: 6
• Total Apartments: 18
• Moves with my Son: 3
• Longest Distance Move: New Hampshire (United States) to Yokota Air Force Base (Japan)
• Shortest Distance Moved: One floor down.

We arrived home at 9am this morning! It has been a very long day. I am glad and sad about being home. I loved visiting all my family but it was very tiring doing so and taking care of a toddler.

I am way behind on my work. I have layouts I have to do for RAKScraps, my challenges and for Kristy Valshan. I have kits to make for ScrapDish. I still have yet to take all the photos off my camera and upload them to Kodak. Plus I have fallen behind on my posting here. I hope to catch up soon including posting new feature kits. I have a lot of plans for the next months and will be very busy!
