"Bring on the Beef" or "Great Expectations"

So lately I have really wanted to eat beef. Lots of it. Not chicken or pork. Beef. Doesn't matter if its jerky, roast, hamburger, or steak.

Also, MaryP has been saying that there is a baby in my belly, her belly, and Dad's belly, or leg or whatever comes to her cute little mind.

I guess what I am beating around the bush trying to say, is that we are expecting a new addition in late September.

I have some morning sickness, but it is much better than with MaryP. Wood thinks it's because it is a boy. I just hope that this is a trend that will continue independent of the child's gender.

Well, there you have it. We're expecting, and we think it's great!

When I read "Bring on the Beef," I wondered if you were pregnant, since I always crave beef! And it's true!! Congrats!

Congratulations... How fun! MaryP will be a cute big sister... I can't believe how big she is getting! Loved the title of the post ~

Eileen said...

I see MaryP as being quite an attentive big sister! What a fun pair they'll be!

Peanut said...

Congratulations! I'm so excited for you!

Wow! Great news--congratulations! Enjoy the beef! I could hardly stomach meat at all in the 1st trimester.

Elise said...

Congrats! I too, craved beef while pregnant, though it was usually hamburgers. The combination of beef, mayo, and tomato was particularly appealing. May you find whatever variety of beef that keeps you going!

Congratulations!

If intense beef cravings equals pregnancy, then I'm pregnant 3-4 times a year.

Oh my goodness! Yea! I can't wait for you. Having two is so much more fun than I ever expected. I know you did babywise with MaryP, but I'll tell you what, I started with many babywise things from birth, I mean right in the hospital the day L was born and we have been so blessed. It has been a life saver. Happy day. Hope you are feeling well. Take care. I need to call you to just catch up and say hello...

Hey cool! Hope MaryP likes being a big sister!

That is so funny about the Beef. Usually I just want steak... a nice, juicy steak cooked medium well, with veggies and potato. Oh, yeah and someone else always cooks it.

Well now, congratulations! That is exciting news. I was actually thinking about your family yesterday and wondering if there would be a new addition to announce. I didn't crave anything with Eli. Everything sounded gross! I'm glad you can get some protien in you!Mary P is a doll and has grown up so much since we moved!

Congratulations!! Number two is fun! I thinks it is so much easier because you actually realize what might happen, lack of sleep, etc. Hope you feel well.

Toni said...

Congrats on the new addition! I'm glad you're excited about it, too. This second one came as a surprise to us, so it took some adjusting to the news. I still don't think I'm ready. Hopefully your little one is a big helper by the time the new arrival makes its debut!
