My Baby is Growing Up!

My "baby" is going to be a BIG BROTHER!!!
This child has been a bit dramatic already however, so I'm scared we are going to have our hands full :)


On Monday, there was some spotting while I was at work, so I left and headed to the doctor. My doctor was not there so I saw the nurse practitioner and she ordered an ultra sound. The ultrasound lady found the heartbeat right away and tears filled my eyes. You don't realize how attached to something you get until you might not have it anymore. It was SUCH a sigh of relief. The baby measured 6 weeks 3 days, which was almost exactly a week off from what I thought, but the doctor said that it was fine... especially since Kayden always measured smaller also. The heartrate was 125 beats per minute which is exactly what it should be for a 6 week baby.
I still had to go back today for my actual first OB appointment, see my doctor, do the lab work, etc. My doctor was awesome and decided to go ahead and do another ultrasound just because she wanted to :) The baby measured 6 weeks 4 days and the heartrate was already beating a little faster. She said there was no sign of active bleeding and everything looked just fine. Praise the Lord! So our sweet second baby's offical due date will be September 14th. 4 days after Kayden's 2nd birthday.... :)

Here's some fun news!!

Well, I have many things to catch up on with this blog! Christmas has come and gone with out even a mention of it on here!! We did have a great Christmas, and I promise a post dedicated all to Christmas (at some point....)

However, there is some important news to announce....


And, it's not really official... and DEFINITELY not facebook official......


But, Very few people read the blog and I felt it only fair to let my few followers know first, before Facebook....


BABY #2 IS DUE SEPTEMBER 6TH!!!!!

It was quite a shock for us. We were hoping another year before having another baby. We really wanted them to be about 2 1/2 to 3 years apart... but God has other plans.
And while I was super surprised and shocked... I am overjoyed!

Nick practically had to force me to take the pregnancy test. I think I was in denial. I've never really had regular cycles and so missing one wasn't really that big of a deal to me. Nick on the other hand kept begging me to test. He even went to the store, all by his self, and bought pregnancy tests.

I haven't really been "feeling" pregnant, like I was with Kayden. By this point I was throwing up every morning, exhausted and my chest hurt something awful! The only thing so far is exhaustion, and I think that's just from teaching and a cold. For these reasons, we aren't really making a big formal announcement for a while, but like I said I felt the need to share with my followers on the blog :)

I'll call the doctor on tuesday and hope to get an appointment this week, however according to a due date calculator I'm only 6 weeks and my doctor won't have us come in until 8 weeks unless there is something that we think is wrong. So there you have it. BABY #2 due around September 6th. AND YES, THAT IS ONLY 4 DAYS BEFORE KAYDEN'S 2ND BIRTHDAY.....
we are hoping this little one will be like Kayden and decide to come 2 weeks early so that their birthday's are at least a little ways apart. :)
