Annoucement

So, I made the announcement to the family and friends.  We sent out a cute Christmas card this year.  Everyone was pretty excited about it.  Now I just need to let the work family know.  Can't decide when to tell the boss.  I have an ultrasound appointment tomorrow, so I might wait till after that.
In other news, the nausea comes and goes and I was really tired this weekend.  For the most part I have felt pretty good.  But I do get sleepy during the day.  Maybe the fact that I have been sitting at my desk and doing nothing is contributing!  Yawning as I write this post!
So far the only thing that turns my stomach is the thought of turkey.  Like a whole bird that you would see at Thanksgiving.  Eeew.  Nothing else is really bothering me.  However I did have a total "diva" moment on Friday. The story goes a little something like this:
Friday for lunch I wanted nothing but a naked chicken burrito from Qdoba.  So, of course, I got it.  We had plans that night to go with Kristen and Nick to Dish it Out, for the kids and then I had suggested Qdoba, but we never really set that in stone.  So, that's where we ended up.  But when I got there, standing in line, I decided that I didn't think I was going to be able to put a single bite in my mouth. I proceeded to eat some of Haven's chips and guacamole.  When we left I asked Kelly to take me to Wendy's to just get a cheeseburger.  I order it and take two bites and don't think I can take another.  Took it home and put it in the fridge.  Couldn't take but three bites of it the next night either!  Then, all I could think about on Saturday was a fabulous glazed doughnut from Krispy Kreme.  I get it and it's so not as good as I had thought it would be.  This baby is either going to be a total diva or I'm being a brat.  One of the two.  I was never like this with Haven!

Confirmation Appointment

I went to get medical confirmation today!  It's legit...we are pregnant.  I saw Dr. Reynolds and he confirmed it.  I got a due date of July 25, 2012.  Blood pressure is good and my internal exam showed everything looks good and as it should.  We spoke about having a VBAC (vaginal birth after Cesarean) this time around and I told him that I was open to it.  I asked what my chances were of being able to do it.  He said that women who are doing VBAC already have about an 80% chance of actually being able to do it.  In my case, he give me about a 60% chance of being able to do it.  So, I'm not counting on it.  But good news is I will get to have this baby a week earlier if I am a scheduled c-section!  So it could  be a July 18th birth date!  We will see.  We also spoke about the possibility of miscarriage related to my IUD removal in February.  For those of you that don't know...my IUD (Intrauterine device) punctured thru my uterus and was sitting in my pelvis.  It had to be removed laproscopically.--yeah, I won't be having another one of those, rest assured.  He decided to do an ultrasound in 4 weeks, just to make sure that everything looks good.  Next appointment is Dec 14, 2011.
BTW...I hear everything starts happening faster the second time around.  I'm already seeing signs of that.  My boobs are already sore!  I just hope the heartburn stays away as long as possible!

Guess What?!

Well it's a new blog and very exciting day.  I'm pregnant.  After three months of trying to conceive, I finally got my big fat positive!  I was at work and I just felt like something was urging me to take a test.  I had this same feeling when I was pregnant with Haven.  So I hopped in the car (I was at work) and headed to Rite-Aid.  My heart was pounding the whole ride there and back to the office.  I go in and get a Clear Blue Easy pregnancy test.  Same kind I tested with last time.  Seems to be trustworthy!  So I go to the bathroom and pee on the stick and stick it back in my purse (gross I know, but I was at work...can't walk around with it or leave it and come back!) and back to my office I go.  I literally got back up the stairs and sat down at my desk, pulled it out of my purse and BAM!!  There it was in plain English: "PREGNANT".  I was shocked.  I really didn't know what to expect.  I knew something was up...my cycle was different this month, for sure.  But I was convinced a few months ago that I was pregnant and my test was a big fat negative.  So I was skeptical this time around.  But SUPER excited for the new chapter that we are about to embark on.
