"Kid Larock"

is determined to make his/her mommy sick most of the time! But, we're thrilled to announce that yes, we have a little one due at the end of April, 2009.

I am counting down the days until the first trimester is over, hoping very much that I feel "great" for the second one.

Right now my diet is basically:
Watermelon
Applesauce
Toast/bagel sometimes
Baked potatoes (at least one a day)
Toasted cheese
Tea
Pasta with pasta sauce, (that can contain nothing that tastes like meat)
Other juicy fruits sometimes
Juice-sometimes
and Pickles! I seriously think this kid is a boy with the whole pickle deal:-) I think the salt is what attracts me to them.

Each of these items is eaten just a bit at a time.

I was really shocked at this change in my appetite. I love food and I love spicy and interesting food. Apparently my preggo tummy does not. This new diet has helped me trim several unwanted pounds in readiness for a bunch of new kiddo pounds:-)

Peter's been amazing. I didn't get out of bed much at all on Saturday and he sweetly kept at the household chores and brought me food as I could stomach it!

Yesterday I was able to do some cleaning and I was so thankful to be able to do something! It's been hard for me to not feel like doing anything. I tend to always be busy with some task. Ah well. As my mom explained, obviously my body needs the rest.

There you have it.

We'll keep you updated.
