Since I've finally broken the news of Facebook, I can blog about Baby #2!
The test was positive so fast I didn't even have time to pull my pants up. Needless to say I wasn't emotionally prepared for that result so the first thing out of my mouth was, "Holy s**t." I hadn't been feeling very good the past couple days but we had been snacking on chili queso so I figured my sensitive stomach just didn't like it. That was partly true.
I sent this picture to Hubs with the message "I guess it's not the queso." to which he responded, "Um what?" and then "Well that complicates things."
We decided around our anniversary trip to Oregon in April that it was a good time to start trying. We tried for about 2-3 weeks and then found out that our health insurance was going up by a lot starting in July so we stopped. I got my period on time so I figured we were good to go! Negative.
We are at 14 weeks right now and I'm feeling much better than I was. I was nauseous all the time and was having a problem with my throat feeling closed up and it made me gag so I constantly felt like I was about to throw up. I had a dizziness problem when I was pregnant with Peyton. It would just hit me suddenly and I would almost pass out. My head would cloud up and go black and spotty and I would get hot and have tunnel hearing. It sat me out of a few concerts while I was still in school. I'm having that problem again but it seems to be more frequent. It's worse when I don't get enough sleep so I'm trying to go to bed by 10 since Peyton wakes up around 7. I also try to nap with her most days.
I have had two appointments with my fabulous midwife Nancy Spencer. I'm thrilled to be delivering with her again. My experience with Peyton was so amazing! My "Guess Date" is February 22nd. The funniest thing is that the day I found out, my friend Lara in Texas sent me a message with a picture of a positive pregnancy test and said, "Here we go again!" I sent her mine in response. We are due the same day! Of course it probably wont happen the same day, but how funny!
Apparently I'm not allowed to be pregnant alone. Soon after I announced my pregnancy with Peyton, my younger brother called me saying he and his girlfriend were expecting too. We ended up delivering the same day. Twin cousins :)
Here are the two ultrasounds I've had so far:
8 weeks
12 weeks
It didn't feel real until recently. I've started to feel little movements, but once you've had a baby every little gas bubble feels like baby kicks. And I've had a lot of little gas bubbles. Ugh.
Hopefully this will give me cause to update more often!
