Guess what, people?? I have a little blueberry-sized baby in my tummy right now! I’m 7 weeks along, and the due date is February 6th, 2011! I wasn’t going to say anything for a few more weeks because then it would be a pain to say bad news if anything went wrong. But yesterday, morning sickness kicked in, and I was desperate for some sympathy so I wrote on my Facebook status “I’m trying not to puke but just want to get it over with at the same time.” Can you believe that 4 people have already asked me if I’m prego yet just because of that? and I thought a generic nausea comment would go unnoticed. Oh well! I’m one of those people that can’t really hide it very long anyways because I do get all barfy and pathetic forEVER. It’s a relief to just SAY it: I’m pregnant!
This is what my stomach already looks like, at only 7 weeks! AHH I’m going to get huge! Good ole babycenter.com claims that right now the little embryo is the size of a blueberry. I’d say it looks more like I’m harboring an apple or something!
If you’re interested in details, here’s THE STORY:
A few days before we moved, I randomly decided to take a pregnancy test. My reason is silly but valid: If I was pregnant, I wanted to find out BEFORE we moved in with my in-laws. At first I thought the test was negative, but then the faintest little second pink line seemed to appear: 
When I walked in the door at home, Jeff was BEAMING. I thought, “oh great, now I have to tell him…” but he informed me jubilantly that the lady from the office called and said that after I left, she saw the test in better light, and it was positive after all! Whew! That was an unnecessary emotional rollercoaster. So yes I’m pregnant. Jay will be about 21 months older than his sibling. How exciting!!!
We got Jay a booster seat last week. He seems so grown-up when he sits at the table without his high chair. I think he looks old enough to be a big brother!

Yay!!! How exciting! That's the age difference between Tommy and Jack, and it seems to be working out pretty well :-)
Congrats!
that is soooo exciting! i remember reading a baby book every week and telling danny....Toby is the size of a pea, a golf ball, and so forth. awwww a little blueberry- how precious.
i was just discussing the other day with someone, what was the ideal time between kids. 21 months is pretty darn good. well goodluck with being sick. that is never a fun time. are you sick just the first couple weeks or the entire pregnancy?
yay!! Congrats! We always seem to have about that same spacing between kids anywhere from 19-21 months and we have loooved it. You are so cute in your picture!
WaHOO! I hope you don't get too sick, but if you do it's okay! Payt LOVED when I was sick because he got to play with me all day since I couldn't really do anything else.
Congrats guys! I really feel for you but I never got morning sickness with either pregnancy! Food aversions yes, but never the sickness!! I saw your status but refrained from asking as I thought you would get questions like that!! Good luck with everything guys!!
Wow! Congrats!
Congratulations to you both! And good luck with the morning sickness! Hopefully things won't be as bad the second time around!
Yay!! congratulations! I love siblings! I am so happy for you guys!
Super ironic because just randomly as I was opening your blog to read I thought to myself, "I wonder when I will open Shaina's blog one day and find that post saying she's pregnant" and then there it was! Hahaha. I must have a sixth sense or something ; ) But Congratulations! Little Jay looks just perfect to be a big brother.
Hey, wait a minute. My stomach looks like that on a good day before breakfast!
Congratulations!! I'm really excited for you!
