Father's Day Surprise 2006

I have just one story from being pregnant with Zale that always make me laugh (and cry) when I tell it. So, I'm gonna share it to you now mind you it is funnier if I tell it to you in person but here goes: So, the frist three months I found out very quickly that when you get hungry you must eat soemthing that second. The baby has no patience & wants to be fed right that second it does not matter with what just as long as you throw something down there. We decided that Henry would call an order in to Applebee's and I would pick it up since it was on the way home & I was craving a really good cheeseburger. I picked up our meals & came home and just threw his food at him while I started devouring my scrumptious burger. I think he just kinda watched me for a second or two and then out of nowhere (at least to me), "So are you going to stay on the Suzanne Sommers diet or what are you planning on doing?" You guys I looked up at him while I finished the bite in my mouth and composed myself for a second. We looked at each other for a second and then I said as I immediatley started crying at the same time,"I don't know what I'm gonna do Henry. I'm just so HUNGRY and I just want to eat this cheeseburger and then worry about it later(still sobbing). I'm just hungry ALL THE TIME and when it hits me I'm starving like so starving I could throw up if I don't eat something that second! I just wanted a cheeseburger a really good cheeseburger (yep, still sobbing) right now & I'm gonna eat the fries to b/c it's been soooo long since I've had fries and you know how much I love fries and you know I must be hungry to eat fries that have been in a styrofoam box for however long and the fries aren't as good (crying is now coming to an end). So, right now I'm not worrying about stupid Suazanne Sommers and her stupid "low carb" diet I just want to eat." He just looked at me with his mouth open and said he was sorry and will never ask about it again. Smart man.It seems like Zale's first year went by so quickly. I remember everyone saying it would & that we needed to cherish every moment. I think I did a pretty good job. I remember things that Henry does not I filled out his baby book with all his "firsts" and all his little teeth that came in I wrote it all down (and still do!). Man though everyone was right it really did go by so quickly before we knew it we were singing the Happy Birthday song & I was crying (no shocker there!) watching my big one year eat his cake. He was such an easy laid back kinda baby, he was in no rush to crawl or walk he loved just chilling on the couch with us. He finally started crawling at 7 months and walking at 13(first few steps)/14(started walking well) months. He was eating with utensils al by himself at 10 months and had a great appetite and was very good at his fine motor skills and figuring things out.
After his first birthday we had decided that we would start trying for a sibling for Zale b/ we weren't sure how long it would take for us to get pregnant again. So, we started trying the next month. I took one of those preganacy tests that are supposed to be able to tell you up to seven days before and it was only 3 and it was a negative. I was a little dissapointed but figured it was worth a try anyway, I didn't have to go & buy it as it was a leftover test. I didn't bother telliong Henry that I had taken one b/c he would have just rolled his eyes at me & said something smart. Friday we went out on a date & we ate b-b-q & then made our way to the movies. I remember being in our seats to see X-Men (second one) and I was so sick to my stomach I thought I was gonna toss my cookies at any moment. I held on & eventually it went away & I was able to enjoy the movie. Saturday came & I had heartburn after eating lunch & I hadn't had it since being pregnant with Zale. Father's Day we went to Bennigan's (I miss that place!) and again after lunch I had horrible heartburn & I was a little sick to my stomach. On our way home I told Henry I thought that I might be pregnant b/c I was 2 days late & the symptoms. He thought I was crazy to think we were pregnant so soon but gave in & we went to the store to get another box of tests.
Once we got home we put Zale down for his nap & in I went to take the test. I didn't need to wait the 3 minutes b/c that sign popped right up letting me know yet again I was pregnant. I walked in & told Henry he would get his other Father's Day present next year & he could not believe it either! We were very excited & shocked all at the same time, we had no idea that we would get pregnant so quickly. All of a sudden we had another little baby to prepare for!
