craving!
Is it too early for me to have cravings? I'm so in the mood for a Whopper Jr. I also have a nasty craving for fried mandoo skins. I want to make mandoo, fry it, then just eat the skins and leave the meat for Chloe. Duk-boo-gee also sounds tempting. Yum.

Symptoms
Each pregnancy truly is different. With Ellie, I felt very tired and didn't have any nausea until towards the end of the 1st trimester. The nausea came on and off during the afternoon and got worse in the evening. I used to throw up my medicine and vitamins most every evening and got up at least twice in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.
With this pregnancy, I feel nauseated in the mornings or when my stomach is empty. I also feel hungrier sooner and crave a variety of foods, for instance last night, I asked my mom to make Korean style chicken noodle soup...twas delicous!
I've also been very very sleepy. Yesterday I slept at 9pm with Ellie. It's so funny because we both woke up in the middle of the night at the same time...Ellie wanted her blanket...I had to pick my nose...as my sister will testify, the membranes in your nostrils can swell and make it difficult to breathe for pregger women. And Jae will also testify that I've become much more moodier than normal. He's got a long road ahead of him.
Ellie is also feeling the effects of my pregnancy. Today, she craved popcorn for some reason so I asked my husband to buy some popcorn on the way home...along with some banana milk. Of course we have bananas and milk, but no blender. We are becoming that sort of family. Gads!
I'm beginning to wonder if I'm having twins. Double gads!

Breaking News
A minor Peanut gallery drama has allowed us to break the news early to our parents. This is a good thing. I hate holding on to 'secrets'.
My mom told Wany to "treat me like a slave" or in Korean "boo-rhuh-muk-yuh". This is the same mom who told my three sisters, "Two of you can hold him down and one of you can beat him up if he gets out of line."
"If you have a son then you have one of each so you don't have to have any more kids. But then again, it's really nice to have many kids when you get older even though it's hard when you are raising them."

The Appearance
My husband and I decided to break the news to our 2 year old daughter as soon as we found out.
"Guess what? You're going to have a baby sister or brother!" Ellie looked around the room hoping to see a little baby boy or girl gurgling drool on the floor. Disappointed, she glazed her eyes over to us. She looked terribly confused. To ease her mind, we quickly asked her another question, "Would you like to have a baby brother or sister?"
Her response, "Yeah!"
The pink line had made its appearance on the pregnancy test this morning. Although I took one last night which resulted with a very faint pink line, I knew I really really really wanted to see pink so the faint pink line could have very well been a figment of my imagination...like a mirage in the middle of the desert. I was thirsty...so another test was due this morning.
My thirst is quenched.
