So this is what it's like being pregnant again.......

So after trying for a year we are pregnant again! The baby is due March 25 , 2014. It has been a completely different experience this time around.  Pretty much everything makes me sick and keeping food down is a struggle.  When I was pregnant with Carter I do remember being sick but I never threw up. It seems like more smells and foods seem to set me off. So that is eggs, peanut butter, cheese, tomatoes, potatoes, fruit, and the list is continually growing.  I am almost out of the first trimester , so I am hoping that I will start to feel better. One thing that has saved my life is crock pot dinners. Otherwise it would be everybody for themselves. Tyler and I have tried to talk to Carter about having a baby , and I pointed to my stomach and said baby, but all Carter says is , " No I baby".  So maybe when I get bigger he will figure it out more. Carter is almost 3 and I can't believe it.   We have started to introduce the potty but I can't say that he is especially fond of it. I went to the store and let him pick out a sponge bob seat, since that seems to be the show he likes these days.  We love sponge bob , but we really hate our sponge bob seat. So I think training will be put on hold for a little while longer.   Carter loves , loves playing in the dirt. We haven't planted any flowers or plants yet , so he will put sticks in the mud or make mud piles. So we decided it was time for Carter to have a sandbox.  My parents came down and brought down some sand and a truck, and we love playing in our new sand pile. Tyler has decided he wants to grow a beard, so far it has been coming in good.  Tyler read that you need to wait at least 6 weeks before trimming your beard but he has been shaving by his neck.  Because there is a fine line between having a professional beard and looking like Mr T :)
