Baby should be making its grand entrance around July 10. . which also happens to be our 5 year anniversary. Kinda crazy.
The story..
The few months before I found out about baby, all I could think about was when to get pregnant again. I know it's so soon, but for some reason, it was always occupying my mind. We decided it would be best to TRY and plan it around Mathis' school schedule. (I know, I know). But he's so busy, and we never see him, so I thought if we could plan for the baby to come around November, that would be perfect. Mathis gets three weeks off in November, and 2 weeks for Christmas. Around the 1st of October, I decided to go off the pill, thinking it would take months to get pregnant. I didn't want to try, but thought we just wouldn't prevent it. About 2 weeks later, I had the strongest feeling I was pregnant. I decided I was probably crazy.. Why would I think I was pregnant 2 weeks after going off the pill? obviously I wouldn't be having symptoms yet, so I talked myself down. Well, my period was 1 day late, and I decided I'd take a test just to see.... and it was POSITIVE!! oh my word. I walked out of the bathroom, and showed Mathis. He couldn't believe it. . I couldn't believe it. I feel sooooo blessed to be carrying another baby. Sometimes I just start crying when I think about it.
It's crazy how when something is supposed to happen, it just works out so perfectly.
I could not be more excited... or nervous! Cros and this baby will be 16.. ALMOST 17 months apart. Part of me feels really guilty (for Crosby). I'm going to miss my one- on- one time with my baby boy, and I'm nervous about how he'll cope. Any thoughts?
With my pregnancy with Cros, I wasn't very good at documenting it. Looking back, I really wish I had so I could compare, and just have something to remember the whole experience by. So, this time I'm going to be better.
How far along: 16+ weeks
Total weight gain: about 2-3lbs.
Maternity clothes: Neg, but with my tighter jeans I have to elastic the button or I'm super uncomfortable.
Stretch marks: nope, and hoping it stays that way. I was lucky with Cros.
Sleep: 9+ hours errrynight
Best moment of this week: After weeks of only seeing Mathis for 2 hours before bed, we were able to go on a date! Yes, we went car shopping, but we also went to eat... all without the mini. I thought someone would have to pinch me. Also, mymorningALL day sickness is gone. Hallelujah
Miss anything: working out without wanting to die!
Movement: I've been feeling flutters, but this week I think I actually felt it move. ha
Food cravings: um, chick-fil-a. Seriously, I could eat it everyday.
Anything making you queasy or sick: not really anymore, but I've been getting major heartburn.
Have you started to show yet: /yeah, but I'm mostly in that awkward in- between stage where I just look like I'm getting fat, with no real bump. perfect
Gender: Not finding out!
Labor signs: noo
Belly button in or out: in
Wedding rings on or off: On, when I remember to wear them.
Happy or moody most of the time: So happy. I know this sounds so cheesy but I honestly find myself laughing and smiling more than ever lately.
Looking forward to: planning Crosby's birthday party!
sixteen weeks
and one of Cros for good measure because 1. I am completely obsessed with him, and 2. We adore Arizona winters!
