Dr.'s Appointment

Hi! I had my second doctor's appt. I lost 5 pounds. Everyone I tell says "Good for you" I'm not trying. My doctor didn't say good for you though. He didn't like it. I think it's the first time I've ever been told to gain some weight.  Anna went with me to my appointment. It was on her birthday. I had to bring her on the table with me and my doctor talked about princesses with her. We got to hear the baby's heartbeat. Yea! I am relieved. My pregnancy seems more real now. Anna was grinning when we heard the baby.

Anna's 2nd birthday was the 9th and mine (28) was the 11th. Anna's party was yesterday. It was alot of work but it was fun. Nick and I bought her a Barbie Jeep that she can ride in. She loves it. She kept saying Thank you. It was adorable. She got alot of nice things from everyone. But best of all, there was cake left over.  I'll put some pictures from her party up this week.

My belly is so big now. That's what I heard yesterday. Everyone thinks I'm having a boy. I think so too. But I could be wrong. Nick still doesn't want to find out what the baby is. He said I could but that I couldn't tell anyone else if I find out. He really doesn't want anyone to spoil it for him. He said he knows that someone will end up spoiling it for him. But I really want to know. Because if its a boy, I don't have anything. If its a girl. I'm all set. So we'll see. Well I need to get to work. Take Care! Love, Laura

Sew My Mouth Shut!
I went to my first doctor's appointment yesterday. I am 9 pounds heavier than I was at my first visit when I was pregnant with Anna. When I was pregnant with Anna, I didn't want to eat for the first 3 months. THis time I just want to eat and eat. I am going back on my diabetic diet. I really don't want to gain a ton of weight.   I didn't have to get a pap because I had one in September. Yea! I was excited about that. My uterus is getting bigger so thats good. The doctor said that means the baby is getting bigger.  I asked him about my moaning in my sleep. He said it is probably from my dreams. I got my order to get my blood work done. I get to do a fasting glucose test too. So I don't have to drink that stuff. He said if it comes back normal than I don't have to take the normal glucose test until 28 weeks. So everything was nice and normal. Which I will take any day. I had my first bout of morning sickness last sunday. I was sitting on the couch drinking tea (decaf) and all of a sudden I knew I was going to be sick. That was not fun. Since then I have only been really nauseous in the morning usually. So I think thats it for now. Talk to you later - Love Laura

What did he say?

So last night I am nagging Nick for putting not only a empty Milk container back in the fridge but also an empty lemonade container. Jerk!  So Here I am going on and on. Listen what he says to me "Why don't you just cry and get it over with" It did kind of make me stop and laugh. I can't help the emotions. I am way more emotional now with this baby. Maybe its beacuse I am more tired. Anna gets up early (530) I think she is getting her 2 year molars too. FUN! I was driving home yesterday listening to music and the song made me cry. Oh well, If I can't be emotional now, when can I be? Nick's lucky I didn't throw a roll of duck tape at him like I did when I was pregnant with Anna.

What is going on?  I am 7 weeks pregnant and I already can't button my jeans. I bought some maternity shirts already. By belly is pouched out. OMG! I lost 3 pounds ( I stopped drikning pop) and my tummy is growing already. Everyone keeps telling with the 2nd baby that everything comes alot faster. I'm cool with that. If I'm pregnant, I want to look pregnant. But right now I just look like I couldn't pull away from the Buffet. I need to get some maternity jeans. Right now I am sitting here typing this with my pants unbuttoned. Did I mentioned how enormous my boobs are? Once again OMG! I guess it goes with the territory. Everything just seems so much different this time. I feel pretty good. I am so exhausted though. At 7pm I am falling alseep sitting up. Anna doesn't go to sleep untill 8pm. I can't wait for 8 so  I can lay down.  I feel nauseous sometimes but for the most part good. I get to go the doctor on March 11th for the first time and hopefully hear the baby's heartbeat. I will relax a little bit then. I was anxious with Anna but since Jen had a miscarriage last year, I think it is making me nervous.

I guess I should put in here how we told everyone I'm pregnant. Yes we already told everyone. I don't think I could keep it in until 12 weeks. I found out on Ferbruary 8th.  I wasn't going to take a test until the 9th because that is when my period was due. I took a couple of days before and it was negative so it bummed me out. I was determined to wait until the 9th. But Jen (best friend) told me to just take a test already. So I woke up friday morning really early because I has been thinking about the test all night long. And it was positive. I was so excited. I couldn't stop smiling. It sucked that it was so early because I couldn't call anyone and tell them. Nick was already at work and he doesn't get good reception where he was at. So I told the dogs.  I told Anna that she was going to be a big sister. She's only 23 months so she was like okay. I ask her where my baby and she points to my belly and gives it kisses. She's so damn cute.   My sister-in-law gave birth to twins on the 7th. So we were going to the hospital to visit them. I had gotten Anna a t-shirt that says" My mommy is pregnant and all I got was this T-shirt" It made me giggle. We went to my mother-in-law's house first because she was going to watch Anna so we could go to the hospital. Nick called me when I was there and kept asking me questions about whether I told his mom yet or not. So she was suspicious. When I got off the phone she asked me if I was pregnant. She was so excited when I said yes. I can always count on Re to be super excited about a baby. The family is going from one (Anna) to four (Anna, Emmy, Nicky & new baby). So then Nick and I went to the hospital. We weren't going to say anything to Sue & Ed yet because they had just had their babies the day before. But I was hold Nicky and he told his sister that Nicky was meeting his cousin right now. Susie and Ed were really happy for us too. We asked Ed to be the baby's godfather. Ed teared up. He's such a softie.  The we told Nick's sister Lea on the phone. She just told us that we are so fertile. It only took us the one try and it only took two tries to get pregnant with Anna.  Thank God! Something has to be easy right? Then we told Nick's sister Megan on the phone and she didn't believe me. She kept asking me if I was kidding. Why would I joke around about that? Silly. We were going to go by my mom's and tell her and Mike (step-dad) but they said they were going out when I called. So I hung up and asked Nick if I should tell them on the phone. Most of you know Nick, he said he didn't care.  So I called her back and told her I forgot to tell her something. Then I told her I was pregnant. She was very happy for us too! She said how could I forget that.  I called my brother and told him. He said congratulations and that this summer was going to suck for me. He's so sweet. So thats how we told everyone.  Okay so does everyone think I rambled on long enough? Take Care and write to you soon! Love Laura & little baby
