I haven’t been able to stop the tears of happiness
They made us wait in the waiting room for about 30 minutes before taking me back. In that 30 minutes I became a basket case. When they called us back to the u/s room I was gripping MrZ’s hand so tight I feared I’d break it. When we saw the heartbeat? I immediately started crying and have barely stopped. I’m trying not to cry since I’m at work and that’s just embarrassing – but the tears are right under the surface. I’m just so unbelievably happy. They still saw some blood but are not concerned and just asking me not to exercise (well…if you insist) and to “take it easy.” We are 7wks along and our official due date is February 1st. Clear your calendars.
Thank you for being so nervous for me. Seeing all of your well wishes and notes of excitement just make it that much more awesome. I’m so proud of my intraweb friends I could kiss you all. Can you believe we’re doing this again? Time to sit back and relax – We’ve got a lot of boob sweat to discuss.
i’m so happy for you!
Great news! A big hug.
and? i was first! am NEVER first!
Congratulations… I’ve been worrying for you all day!
Woo!
Yeah!!!! So happy for you guys!!!

Congratulations!!!!!
YAY! I’m so happy for you guys. Congrats!
That is wonderful news!!!!! Congrat’s Zoot Family.
There will be way less boob sweat since you won’t start to get big until after the heat of summer has past. Plus, you have A/C in your car now.
Congratulations! I would try not worry about the bleeding, I had HEAVY bleeding for the first 12 weeks my pregnancy and was diagnosed with a Subchorionic Hemmorhage. I took it easy and I now have a happy, healthy 7-month old baby boy!
I am so excited for you!! I’ve read your blog for a few years now – I “went” through your NikkiZ pregnancy, I was pregnant at the same time- and like you- nervous- I have a thing w/ miscarriages to- my son was born a few months after NikkiZ, every entry you wrote, I felt like you were “right there w/ me” Anyways! Congrats..I enjoy your writting- and thanks for letting us have a small peek inside of your life! Tell Miss NikkiZ that she has an admirer – his name is ZachZ. (Yep-our last name starts w/ Z) that lives in Chicago!
Oh, honey, I am so happy and can’t wait to hear about your boob sweat!!!
And ass sweat, right? Please tell me there will also be ass sweat!
Yay!
Yay! I’m so happy for you and your family!
Hooray!!!
HOORAY!! We’re all so happy for you. How exciting for your family to have another little boy or girl.
Yes!!!
YAY!! Oh my gosh, I am so happy for you. Wow. Does this mean I can start knitting you some baby loot? And like, what colors, since you don’t know the sex yet?
WHEEEE I am so glad you got good news!!!
WEE! Best news I’ve had all day hands down. I know how that wait feels and I’m so glad you got to see that awesome heartbeat. Bring on the boob sweat!
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’ve been checking back all day and I’m so THRILLED for you all!
Eeeeee! Our ultrasound is next Friday, but I’ve been feeling better about this pregnancy than with Alliclaus, so I’m totally motivated by your good news. Yay!
Congratulations!!
Luckily, boob sweat is like one of my most fav topics ever!
Hoera! Gefeliciteerd! I’m so happy for you!
Break out the Anti-Monkey Butt! We’re havin’ a baby!
Congratulations, Zoot. I could not be happier for you and MrZ!
Oh Zoot, I am so happy for you and your family. Looking forward to the boob sweat entries.
Congratulations to you and the whole Zoot family. I’m ready to read about the roller coaster again!
Wooooooooooooooo! *BWAAAAAH* and any other conflicting and multifaceted emotions you want to throw in, you know, just for good measure. I’m so excited for you, and the heartbeat! Yay! So what do we call this little one for now, do you think? MiniZ? EmbryoZ? WeeZ? heh. Yay!
CONGRATS ZOOT!
Okay, you got your fun naming Lil Z and Nikki Z – I think we need to name the newest zoot – and I think it’s middle name should be “blog”
Wooot! Congrats, this is wonderful news. I’ve been worrying about you all day. I’m so incredibly happy for you. You, MrZ, LilZ and NikkiZ deserve it! I can’t wait to hear all about the boob sweat!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sooooo unbelievably happy for you MissZoot. It brings hope to me, in my quest to have another child.
I will continue to send good juju your way!

That’s wonderful!
Congratulations!!

I’m crying too now. Yay for tiny heartbeats!
Hooray! So happy for you…
Thrilled here too. February 1 sounds like a great day for a new baby!
Crying here too- youve been on my mind ALL day..
Hugs from Wisconsin!!!
Bring on the boob sweat!!!
I fell in love with your website when you were preggers with NikkiZ and I can not wait to follow your journey with Zoot child #3!!! So happy for you!
I’ve been lurking about without commenting (here and everywhere lately), but I had to break the silence to scream WOO HOO for the Zoots!!! I am so happy for you, and will continue to keep you all in my thoughts and prayers! I NEEDED this news today — I’ve heard nothing but bad news for two days now, and then I see your post. YAY for you! Yay for Zoot v.3. Just, YAY!!!
Yay!!
I’m SO happy for you!! Awesome news! Looking forward to following the progress of this Zooty pregnancy!!
I can share in the boob sweat imagery, but from the opposite end of the spectrum! I’m still hot – it just comes in flashes!
I kept waiting and waiting for you to update!!!! I’m so happy about the news. Take care of yourself….You have an excellent reason to lay about and take it easy!!! AND NO GUILT!!!
That is TOTALLY awesome!!! I hope you continue to feel good and things sail along. Blessings!
dori, who puked throughout all three pregnancies…. ugh.
WOOHOO DOGGIES!! My boys and I send you all the lovies you can handle….I’m so excited for you and your beautiful family….
I was thinking about you all day, but just got a chance to check in now!
YAY! YAY! YAY!
I’m so happy for your and your (growing) family.
I did the same thing the day I FINALLY saw the heartbeat of Baby O. I bawled. The Ultrasound gal bawled. Mr. Flinger bawled.
It’s so wonderful to know this baby is already bawl-worthy loved, too. Congrats to the Zoot fam!! Can’t wait to follow this new one’s entrance in to the world!
Congratulations! That’s awesome news!
This is such good news!!! I’m so excited for you & your whole family!
And hey- we share a due date! (Its my 1st after trying for a year). Cool!
Congrats!
Absolutely thrilled for you! I am hoping that every day of this pregnancy is as happy as this one. Congratulations!
AHH! Awesome news!!! I am so absolutely-outofmymind-happy for you!! I’m sending you all my positive energy girl.
Great news! And the ride is just as wild and fantastic with the second child, believe me.
That’s wonderful!!!
Did they say anything about me???? Did they insist that I not exercise???? It is supposed to work like that, isn’t it? I love all of your boob-sweat writings, and that’s just one of the reasons I’m stoked for us!
I love the Zoots!
CONGRATS to you and your family! So excited for you:)
So, you just got doctor’s orders to lie on couch, catch up on Tivo and have the other Zs wait on you. That’s what you heard, too, right? (Hopefully that’s what Mr Z heard!)
This is such great news! So many congratulations to all of you! Yay and more yay!
Congratulations! I have big smiles for you.
Also, I’m 15 weeks along with my first baby, due around December 10, and so far I’ve experienced NO boob soreness. You mentioned being concerned about that in your last entry, so I thought I’d ease your mind a bit.
Big big congrats coming your way!!!
I’m with Frema, the previous commentor. I never had boob soreness with either of my pregnancies. And I only threw up once during my first pregnancy and I think that was due to some exotic cheese sampler thingy I got into at my office during the holidays.
CONGRATS again!!!
Oh I’m so excited to read your update
I was really rooting for you! I’ve been stressing like you over my new pregnancy and think it will be a lot of fun to watch your pregnancy as I go through my own. Not that it wasn’t fun just following your pregnancy with NikkiZ, that was pretty cool, but this time I get a baby too. Sounds like BONUS to me! Best of luck to you, I look forward to all of the updates, boob sweat and all. How about heat rash ass? Yeah, love that.
Yay! What awesome news!!
Hey Lady, I just got all caught up with what’s going on with you ! BIG CONGRATS are in order! I’m so glad today went so good – I read this and you were on my mind all day.
Bring on the boob sweat convos and the updates! I can’t wait!
Shash
And breathe….
and YAY! Congrats!
OMG.. one day without internet and this is what i miss. So happy for you all, Zoots!
I am beyond thrilled for you!!!
I look forward to the boob sweat posts. You always keep me laughing.
I’m crying for you. So very happy.
Sweetie, that’s wonderful! I’m so very happy for y’all!
Ohhh Zoot I am so damn happy for you!
Congrats
Hey! The kids and I are thrilled for you! They are sooo excited that LilZ is going to be a big brother again!!!
Much luck! If any family deserves a healthy stress-free pregnancy it is you guys!
We love You!!! Hugs to you, MrZ, LilZ and NikkiZ from the Rummel Clan!!!
Wooooooo! Very exciting! Congratulations and I hope its all going well
YAY boob sweat! Congrats to you and your family!
I am so happy for you. I read you consistently when you were pregnant with NikkiZ because you were so darn funny! the boob sweat and ass sweat rule posts rule!
Still will be praying for youthough, I know its scary. Take care of yourself.
I am also very happy for you – and I am 10 wks right now, due January 15th, and while I had some MAJOR boob soreness that still is not really gone, I also have had bleeding for the last four weeks and was told the same thing you were.
I am looking forward to following your blog and “going through this” with you. I am pretending we are friends who are pregnant together!
Oh, I’m so glad everything looked good!
yay!
So, so happy for you!!!
The boob sweat is horrible. Especially if yours are as gigantic as mine, and you end up with lots of trapped CRUMBS in there by the end of the day. Yum.
go, you!
(boob sweat and crumbs – wasn’t that a band back in the sixties?)
De-lurking to say OMG I just about cried when I read this!! Congrats!!
I’m so happy for you guys AGAIN! I’ve been wishing the best and was a total nervous wreck for you this morning! (I gotta get off the internet more!) I know everything will be just fine and I couldn’t be happier about it.
Congrats!
Delurking to say hooray! And? Feb 1st is my birthday, too! So double Hooray!
7 weeks. Heh, heh. So basically after finishing the marathon, you drove home and…uh…celebrated?
YAHOO!!!! YIPPEEE!!!
Aw honey. Big hugs. Here’s a hanky to wipe that sweat off your brow.
You can use it for the boob sweat too, but I don’t want to know about it.
Congratulations to you and your family!
De-lurking to wish you congratulations!!!
I’ve been holding my breath everytime I see a post from your blog pop up in Google Reader. I am so happy for you and the rest of the Zoots!
