I had originally decided to wait until I was in my second trimester to tell Brendan that he was going to be a big brother. When I went into the hospital last week we had no choice but to tell him, boy is he excited. He has been VERY helpful, won't let me lift hardly anything, tells me to eat so the baby can eat, and if I get upset he reminds me that the baby gets upset too. lol...

The other morning I was just overwhelmed wih feeling so cruddy and had been sick all mornign I was being emotional. He came and gave me a hug and asked me if it was the baby making me sick, I said yes in a way I guess. He looked at me as serious as could be and told me that they should be grounded when they were born for making his mommy so sick lol... I told him he did the same thing to me but in the end it's all worth it, he laughed and said "I was too cute when I was born to be grounded" lol..

Our latest topic of conversation is names, we've picked out Bethanie Rae for a girl and maybe Jackson or Jacob for a boy. We're both hoping for a Bethanie :-)

How are you feeling?? Are things getting better. Brendan sounds like a real cutie!

I've loved Bethany since I was about 8 years old Trina. I thought it was cool your daughter was a Bethany when I first joined momsview.

Debbie -- thanks, he is a cutie and so much fun. I'm feeling better overall, I still have my good days and bad days but overall somewhat better. I have to remember to eat and as long as my stomach doesn't stay empty for long I do okay.

I need to post an update about everything going on right now but don't have time to right now, I need to get ready to get Brendan from school. I'll try to later on this evening or this weekend.
