I've been meaning to write about our exciting news, I just haven't had the time to sit and type... but ready or not...
HERE COMES BABY #2!!! :)
We are super excited and feel very blessed. Meredith seems excited about it and knows there's a baby growing in mama's belly. She swears it's a girl, but who knows. :) We found out in Mid-October... I found out while Billy was in New York for training for his promotion and could barely contain the news while waiting for him to get home the next day. I baked pink & blue cupcakes and wrote him a letter thanking him for working so hard and for allowing me to be home with Meredith and now another little one, coming in June. He was shocked, and super excited to say the least. :) I got his reaction on video, too. [This time was a lot more fun than last time... when I found out I was pregnant with Meredith I was SHOCKED and SCARED since we weren't trying and I wasn't supposed to be able to have children... and I was crying so much when I called Billy to tell him that he thought I'd received bad news at the doctors that day and raced home because he couldn't understand me... only to have me tell him, still in tears, that we were pregnant, lol.] Yea... much more fun this time.
We are 13 weeks pregnant now and baby seems healthy with a strong heartbeat. The ultrasound we had at 10 weeks was amazing and tear jerking. I had been so nervous prior to that... I wanted to hear the heart beat so badly... and before I could count to 10, there it was... loud and fast and fluttering on the screen. Amazing. God is so amazing.
I've had a wonderful first trimester. No major food cravings although greasy foods sound gross. I haven't had an aversion to Mexican food this go around... :) I love salty foods (not chip salty... rather Chinese food salty) and salads (Panera's chicken Caesar salad is a new fav!) and haven't had any sickness [minus the day I took my prenatal vitamin in the morning... won't make that mistake again]....just exhaustion... which is starting to fade. I'm feeling great and am super, super thankful to be home this time around. I nearly die at the end of the day when I sub at LRES... I don't know how I did it last time [I guess not having a 3 year old to chase after probably helped, lol]. Regardless, I'm thankful and blessed and loving life.
I'm not wishing this pregnancy away. I did that with Meredith and since this may be my last pregnancy [not sure if we want more than 2 kiddos...] I'm going to attempt to enjoy it... all of it.
