Mama's prego......again :)

Yup, it's true...I am a baby-making machine. I say I want to get pregnant, and bam, first try the egg and sperm meet and make a zygote...or whatever. Anyways, I am 9 weeks along, feeling pretty well, but definitely excited to be out of my first trimester in a few weeks. The exhaustion I feel late morning/mid-afternoon is dreadful, but at least with this pregnancy I am eating.....although maybe too much because I swear I am ALREADY starting to show a little bit. It took until 7 months to show with Benjamin, so needless to say, showing already will be certainly new terrain for me.
Has anyone seen the movie "Waitress" with Keri Russell? I highly recommend it if you haven't. Besides the fact that the movie SOOOOOO makes me want to find the recipes for the pies she invents, it's a great movie about becoming a mother. In the movie her husband is a complete ass, and once she is definitely showing, he calls her porky and refers to how she is fat. Well, AJ and I thought that was funny (although extremely sad from the movie character's point of view), and have started randomly referring to me as "porky." I'm afraid that soon I won't think that is funny anymore and he'll get a painful smack to the cheek. I guess we'll see. :)
Benjamin is great and keeps saying "baby sisser," although he has no idea what's going on and insists on body slamming or kneeing/elbowing me in the stomach at every opportunity. Also, I figure him saying baby sisser means it will be a boy. Whatever it is, I hope that they will play well together because CHILDREN ARE EXHAUSTING. :) Of course, having said that, I do love my son more than anything in this world.
Alright, well, I better go for now. I can't do pics bc I am posting from my laptop and can't figure out how to connect it to my camera, so none for now, but I promise I will post here or on my personal blog as often as I can.
I hope all of you who are about to pop are doing well. Can't wait to see baby pictures!
Love and miss you all,
Jillian
PS. I second the previous post. VOTE, VOTE, VOTE on Nov. 2.
PPS. We sold our flip house! We closed on it Sept. 30 and brought home a check for $39,000, which after fix-up costs, taxes, etc, leaves us with about 19,000 profit. Not bad for a month's worth of weekend working. Hopefully we'll be able to do it again....wish us luck!

Oh yay! Congrats...thought you had caught the baby bug so bad you couldn't go back! I am sure Benjamin will love having a sibling. (I have always heard you start showing WAY earlier with the 2nd one.)

Also, congrats on the house.
