I have a very valid excuse for not posting in a while: I'm pregnant and have been fighting daily the urge to throw up. I do think that overall it's been better (so far) than the nausea I had while pregnant with Will, but the main difference is that I have him to take care of most days. Rodney has been so wonderful on the weekends, but that's nothing new.
Well, here are the details for those who are curious. I am about 8 weeks along and the due date is the second week of December. Will and his sibling will be 19 months apart, which is 2 months further apart than my sister and I are (and we've always been close). Rodney's grandmother just told us that Nancy and her two sisters were all 16 months apart! She said "we just did what we had to do." I am scared and excited at the same time.
This May we are celebrating two milestones in our lives. Will's 1st birthday and our 10th year as a couple. Rodney and I started dating in May of our freshman year at Greenville and dated for 3 years before marrying. So, in order to celebrate the latter milestone, we decided back in February to book a weekend at a bed and breakfast in Hermann, Missouri. Our plan was to leave Will with Jerry and Nancy for the weekend (if they wanted to and were available) and bike the Katy Trail while visiting some wineries. Lucky for us, Nancy and Jerry were available (and willing) and we booked the trip for this past weekend. Besides my nagging nausea (that kept me in bed a little more than usual and prompted us to abandon the bike idea) it was a great time. Here are some photos.

Second Creek Farm Bed and Breakfast was surrounded by 135 acres of farmland owned by the proprietors

Down by the pond there was a barn full of animals
Our room- the smallest one in the bed and breakfast, but still very nice
Even though I felt sick, this was sooo good

Congrats on baby #2! Hope you feel better soon!
Congrats Gina! I will let you know if 19 months difference is any easier than 13 months difference. I sure hope so!!!
Gina congrats!
Cooper and Nelson are 15 months apart. They were much easier than the 3 yrs between Nelson and Maddox. I hope you get to feeling better really soon!!! Sickness and toddlers do not mix.
Congratulations!!
Hey Gina!
I finally had a chance to visit your blog. Man, I see you two times per week and now that I read this I realize I know so little about what's going on in your life! I didn't know you guys went on this trip! (Though I did wonder where you were on Sunday...) I didn't know your washer broke and you had your gas shut off! At least I did know that your pregnant, otherwise I'd have felt like a total loser. Ok, so now I know that if I'm really going to know what's up I'm going to have to read the blog regularly!
WOW!! Congrats on the pregnancy...& sorry about the nausea, I had it with both of my pregnancy's too. Hope you get feeling better soon :)
oh my goodness!!! i just found out that another friend is pregnant with her second too!!! felicidades!!! love you!!!
Wow, G! Congrats on #2! I feel so out of touch... Ingrid and Rowan are almost exactly 2 years apart (within 2 days). I'll be praying for you. I know how it is to be tired and taking care of an active toddler. Have any hunches on whether it's a boy or girl? I can't believe you're pregnant! Can't wait to hear about your journey the second time around! Love you!!!!!
Love, Lizzie
Congrats Gina! I'll be reading your blog to prepare myself for when I decide to begin the second journey! I'll be praying for you!
Rebecca
That's so great! Congratulations!
