Dear Fetus,
You caused me to throw up so violently on Thursday night that I burst a blood vessel near my eye and now I have a big blood blister kind of thing. And the giant bug bite next to my eye turned from normal skin color to purple. So thanks for that. Thanks a lot.
We’re in the second trimester now, so do you think you could maybe ease up a little?
Love,
Mom
Four days later and the blood blister basically looks like a big zit. Pregnancy is so fun!

I wanted to be all CONGRATS but then I thought you might think it was about the blood blister/bug bite.
Oh, whatever. YAY BABIES!
Wait. Back up! OMG! Pregnant! Baby! Second baby! EEEEEEEE! Congratulations!
I hope the puking and blood vessel-bursting abates very soon. I’m so sorry for that part.
(BABY!)
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
(That’s all I got.)
Yay!!!
Congratulations!!!!!! So exciting, blood blister or no! (Although add “blood blister” to the long list of “Things I Had No Idea Were Related to Pregnancy.”)
AHH! Congrats!!! Best pregnancy announcement ever.
Morning sickness is the WORST. Congratulations anyway!! And here’s to a better 2nd (and 3rd) trimester!!!
SQUEEEEE!
I’m like “how did I miss that news?” and went back and read the last like 10 posts (which I had already read). Ha!
CONGRATS!!
So sorry about the sick…but excited about the baby news. Congrats!
Hey, congratulations! Both your pregnancy announcements have been awesome.
YAY!!!!! Congrats! So excited for you! Pregnancy buddies!
I thought I missed the news too – I’m so sorry you are feeling ill but CONGRATULATIONS! I’m so happy for you – I hope you stop puking soon.
Hey congratulations, mama! So happy for you!
BOO, sick.
YAY, baby!
For a second there, I was like, “Wait a minute! Did I miss the announcement??”
WOOHOO for you!!! Congratulations!!
I love your “hey, I’m totally pregnant” announcements!
CONGRATS!!! I’m so excited about your second too-cute-for-the-universe baby!
Oh goodness! Congratulations on the baby (sucky about the throwing up and blood blister thingie)!
I can’t wait to see B as a big brother! So very happy for the entire AYK clan.
And darn, we can’t meet up for an El Patio margarita now, can we?
I kept rifling back through previous posts, thinking, did I miss something??
Here’s hoping you turn the corner on morning sickness soon.
Congrats on the new pregnancy!!
I’m with Lisa. I was puzzled for just a mo. BUt now – CONGRATS! Being a momma of two is fabulous! Exhausting! But fabulous!
Congrats!!! Um, except for the blister/zit thing.
I couldn’t bring myself to keep a pregnancy journal, but I do keep a journal for P – letters to her. I haven’t written in it for about six months because it would be the sort of crap she’d show her therapist. But I try.
If I were a squee-er, I would squeeeee! right now. But I am not so I will just say congratulations.
squeeeeee!
I just read a bunch of back posts too, to see if you announced this weeks ago and I had no idea, but nope; looks like this was it. I guess Baby #2 it’s all, “Whatevs; I’m pregnant. What, did I not tell you guys that?” I’m kidding. I actually sort of love this approach. Congrats!!
I’m not a picture-of-a-stick-I-peed-on kind of person.
Super congrats!
