Here comes baby #2
FINALLY glad I can tell everyone! We are expecting our 2nd baby around the end of August 2014. Still no idea what gender, but I do have a hunch. Here is the cute little video announcement I made on iMovie.
I am also very glad to announce it so I can stop trying to hid it. My belly seriously popped out a week after I found out (4 weeks). People were starting to get suspicious, especially at church. Every Sunday I would try on 10 different outfits, trying to find one that didn't show that little pooch sticking out!
The pregnancy has been SO different than Jackson. With him, I found out at about 6 weeks. I got one really big migraine (and couldn't take anything) and then after that I had NONE until about half way through nursing (6 months old) they started to come back. But they were only headaches. Since I have been pregnant I have had them TOO often. Sometimes every other day for a couple of days, and some lasting multiple days. Thank goodness they aren't migraines but headaches still are not fun! Especially because most the cures I have read about do not work for me. I have found a couple more so I will try those.
Also, I feel sick ALL the time. I have been better since I got prescribed some nausea medicine and that has helped a lot! Thank goodness!
I had my first appointment at 9 weeks and I got to see the little baby in there! We also got to hear and see the heart beat! Loved it! I did express some concerns since Jackson was born with so many birth defects. She said I wouldn't be a high risk pregnancy, but for my 20 week ultrasound I would go to a high risk doctor and they would do a very thorough exam to see what everything looks like. That's exciting and nerve wrecking at the same time!
No matter what happens, I know this baby will be loved with everything we have to give! So excited and freaking out at the same time about having 2 kids!!
