Had a doctors appt. on Tuesday. He said everything looks good, and that I am 8 weekds along. Got my first "sono" and an ultrasound then as well. Not much to look at when it comes to the sono, heck, I can't even tell what it is, much less that it's suppose to be a baby. Waited, of course, for my husband to come home, to get the bloodwork done, which happened today. Man, I hate having bloodwork done, and I am using the word HATE here. But, its for the baby, I have to keep that in mind.
Not much new on the cravings or morning sickness front. I have my days, I can tell you that. Yesterday not being one of them. I wanted to dig a hole and dive right in. I crave cinnamon as of late, as well as BBQ sauce. Of course, not in combination, good grief!
My next appt won't be till December 1st, but I will be sure to post something sooner than that!
Till next time!

Another week down, many more to go!
Well, it's been another week. Starting to experience some morning sickness here and there, but nothing too major. Yesterday was a huge morning sickness day, I thought it would never end! It seems to strike at any hour, but more so when I am tired, I think.
I started to do some shopping, to get into some sort of mood for this little one. I bought some onesies that I can tie dye later, as well as a soft blanket. Dave wants to know the sex of the baby as soon as we can, but for me, I find that shopping anonymously is much more fun. I am sure that will change very soon, as I am curious as to what sort of name I am looking for, whether it is for a boy or a girl.
No new cravings as of yet, but that could change very soon. I find that I want to eat healthy, eating marinated chicken, mashed potatoes and steamed corn the other day, and perhaps a yummy salad with fresh spinach tonight for dinner and a baked potato would be good. Okay, so potatoes are my new craving, but they were the same with Coop too, so perhaps this is a sign?
Anyway, have a huge drs appt. next Tuesday with my new OB/GYN. I have heard mixed reviews with this man, but hey, if he is the specialist I need, I must go.
Till next time!!
2009-10-30 (6 weeks)
Six weeks and counting
Well, we are pregnant, as most of you know. I didn't think this was gonna happen, to be honest, not after the first miscarriage. We weren't even trying, not even thinking about it, and WHAMMO, it happened. Goes to show that the less you "try" to do something, the better chance it has to occur.
I am scared to death, to be brutally honest, because I want this one to "take". I know it will most likely be our last, and I want to enjoy it as much as I can. Going to school fulltime has been proven difficult, so I might take a semester off and concentrate more on this baby.
Scared because I am in my 30's and bringing a new life into this world. Granted I was in my late 20's with Coop, but that still makes a world of difference. I rely heavily on coffee to get me going, etc. Chasing after Cooper has proven a handfull, but now with an infant too, what am I getting myself into?
I haven't experienced much in cravings or signs just yet. Just fatigue that I would usually combat with COFFEE!! And of course, I can't have any. My appetite is ok, I have to remind myself to eat, or better yet, the morning sickness reminds me to eat. I just have to remind myself to drink plenty of water, which reminds me, must fill up my water jug!!
Anyway, here it is, my second child coming into this world and I am over the moon! I have my first real appts with different people this week, and I promise to blog about them as they come!
Pregnant belly pics to come in a few weeks!! (Not that I am showing or anything, but sort of a before and after would help me out!!)
