What's been happening?

The biggest change around our home is probably the news that we recieved on Thanksgiving Day. We are expecting our 3rd child! Just Robert, my girls, and our parents have known since then. We have been so proud of Alyssa for keeping our little surprise until I was further along.
However, since this is my third pregnancy, my body seems to want to show a little sooner than I'd like. It is getting very hard to "hide" my baby bump and growing other areas I won't mention. So for all of you who have been wondering if I was just a little thicker from eating too much over the holiday, you know now that this was intentional. :)
I went to the doctor on Monday and we heard the heartbeat. That is always a reassuring sound to hear. I am due August 8, 2010. The first thing my mom said when I told her when I was due, "August?...who wants to come to Tulsa in August?" Thanks mom. But I know I am in for one really hot summer.
We are very excited about this addition to our family. We are all rooting for a baby boy, but we will be happy as long as the baby is healthy.
As far as how I've been feeling the last 11 weeks. Not good! My poor husband. I know he wonders where all my energy and motivation went to? But, maybe this will all pay off for him and he will get his boy. I was never sick with my pregnancies with the girls, and I am sick every morning and every evening pretty much with this little one. So we will see?
I am looking forward to moving into my 2nd trimester and hopefully feeling a lot better.

This is the Gingerbread house we created, well, Alyssa mainly. She was so into it! The icing started to drip in places, but overall it was a lot of fun.
Notice Bella wearing Alyssa's underwear over her PJ's? This is her new thing. We are starting to potty train, so she has a new interest with underwear.
