Girl! We found out on Oct. 1st that we are indeed having another girl! Very excited to have another little princess on the way! I was for sure that this one was a boy because the pregnancy has gone a bit different, but no, its a girl. I am so excited! My first daughter is so much fun its going to be GREAT having two! I can't wait for them to be able to play with each other! My first daughter likes babies already, at church if the other babies in the nursery are crying she tries to take them toys to get them to stop! How cute is she?!?!

Well, sorry this is short, just an update to let you know, I'm still alive. Just over half way there, 21 weeks down 19 weeks to go!

Thanks for reading dear followers!

Sorry about that... a friend of mine was going to be late getting home and asked me if I would wait for her grandson to get off the bus... they live just at the corner so I drove our golf cart down and waited for him to get off the bus... so I had to take a pause from the blog, but I'm back :o) Ok, now what was I talking about before... oh yes, my disappearance and being pregnant... everything seems to be going soothly, but I did have a minor scare. I went to the doctor at about 12 weeks because I wasn't feeling good. Well the doctor was trying to use the doppler to hear the heartbeat and couldn't find it... he had his nurse try and she couldn't find it either. So, they had be sent to another room for an ultrasound... they wait was horrible, I was trying to stay calm and not panic... I was afraid that the baby was dead because no one found the heartbeat. Good news however, the baby was fine and moving around, had a strong heartbeat, the little booger was just very far back and moving around. It was cool to have another ultrasound earlier than I was supposed to, I'm supposed to go in Sept. 28th to find out if it is a girl or boy (although for some reason I FEEL like its a boy). Unfortunatly though the contrast was off on the machine's printer so the picture she printed came out all funky so I didn't get a picture to take home. Well, its getting close to closing time so I'm going to get things together!
Have wonderful day dear followers and I will try not to stay away so long anymore!

OK, so I mentioned that I'm pregnant with baby #2... and then disappeared. I was sick! Morning sickness and nausea SUCK! Finally, I was put on a pretty good antinausea medicine that seems to be working well. So far I'm 15 weeks and 4 days along. I was really super tired the first trimester and now I am finally getting a little bit of my energy back, not all, but some. I have to admit this time around its been much better than with my first baby. I couldn't function until I was about 18 weeks. This time I am up and much more active, it does help to have a one year old walking around as well, she keeps me on my toes. And, I don't seem as paranoid as I was with my daughter... paranoia used to keep me up all night with here and this time around I only get it every once and a while instead of all the time... HOLD THAT THOUGHT I'll be back.....

Ok, so last Friday night I was a little late so I took a pregnancy test... it was positive... I'm due about or around Feb. 14, 2011 (I'm calling it our "Love Child"). We really weren't trying to have another baby at the moment seeing how things have been super busy, but evidently God said NOW is the time, so here we go, again! I was somewhat shocked when I read the big pink + on my EPT, I honestly wasn't expecting it. I called my dear sweet husband and asked him if someone was there with him. He said "Yes, why?" And I said "because I don't want you to pass out and hurt yourself and no one be around when I tell you that we're having another baby." And the giggles began, he was SO excited, shocked too, but excited. Well, as I thought about it, more and more things that were going on with me were making sense... I was extremely tired, and in the mornings I would have to sit up in bed, and wait a few minutes before I got up or I would be extremely dizzy or my eyes would go black. I just thought it was the heat, I guess not!

Well, on Wednesday night I was extremely tired, but we needed to get groceries. So, we are coming out of the store and I'm having major buyer's remorse, over groceries, which we obviously need, but still... when we get home I am still exhausted and trying to put groceries away, finally I give up, I NEED to eat right now! My stomach thought my throat had been cut! As I ate some maccoroni salad I just started crying,  Pregnancy Melt Down #1 or P.M.D. #1. All these thought cam rushing to my mind. How can I have another baby now? Are we really ready for another baby? Am I ready for another baby? Is having another baby selfish? What are we going to do? Is Katelynn going to feel like I'm replacing her with a new baby? The thoughts just flooded my mind and the tears flooded my face. My dear sweet husband, who he is, gave me a hug and said go to bed, I'll finish the groceries... but being the Control Freak that I am I told him not to because I needed to know where everything was, hehe, but I did allow him to take the cans down to the basement and put them away, hehe. I love my husband, he is too good to me!

So far, this next baby is giving me a run for my money. I'm so tired its obnoxious, and I HAVE to eat, all the time. If I don't eat I'm dizzy. I'm crossing my fingers it isn't twins, lol! Plus side, I get to start looking for newborn cloth diapers, I don't have any since I started Katelynn at around 7 months old! Any suggestions on the best brands of newborn cloth?

Anyhow, thought I would give you an update dear followers!
Have a great day!
