Well, I'm officially feeling the signs of early pregnancy.
I am extra tired and I feel like I cannot sleep enough. Then I wake up at weird times and have trouble falling back asleep.
I keep dropping things, and I did that all the time with Hadley. Yesterday I dropped my lunch bag on the way out to my car in the morning, a bag containing specimens at work, and a fork on the way to the table at dinner. Then today I dropped keys in the snow. Nothing really important, but I just feel like a klutz.
I swear my breasts are bigger already. No complaints there. :)
Smells have started to bother me - mostly Ben's coffee in the morning. Yuck.
I feel kind of "sick" in general. My stomach has felt uneasy the last couple of days, and eating always seems to help. Just what I need is to be stuffing my face all day!
I am starting to worry about how to handle a 2 year old and a newborn. Logistical things like where they will both sleep and ride in the car and fit in a stroller (we'll need a new one since ours seats one). Then there are the thoughts on how we will afford more diapers and more than double the daycare expense.
I knew all these things (and others) would have to be resolved, but being pregnant starts my mind racing about how to implement all the changes. I know that having another child is going to be wonderful, even if we have to change our routines and give up some things to which we are accustomed. I cannot wait to add another little person to our family!
P.S. I told the rest of my family - meaning moms, dads, and siblings. I am glad I did.

Hi Katie,
I have heard that after you have been pregnant once, you start showing sooner. Maybe it is the same way with pregnancy symptoms? I didn't really have any until I was probabl 8-9 weeks along. In fact, I didn't even think I was pregnant when I took my pregnancy test. I know some people say that they just knew before they even took a test, but I didn't. I was actually planning on having a few beers that weekend and just for the heck of it took a test and what a wonderful surprise...it was quite ok for the beers to wait...a very long time!
Well, I hope you start sleeping better and don't get too sick. I know it is kind of daunting thinking about taking care of a newborn and a 2 year old, but I know you and Ben will be able to handle it. You both are good parents and when it comes to stuff like that, you just do what needs to be done.
Hopefully I will talk to you and/or see you soon!
