13 weeks

i am a whole lot excited and equally terrified...ha. eig, vol 2 is due out late spring 2010, approxy april 27ish. i most likely will be having a planned section 2 weeks before the due date. i go see the gyno at 30 weeks to discuss.

i knew something was not normal back in aug. about 5 days after the big c, i started waking up and for the life of me could not get back to sleep, this went on for about 5 days, then the night sweats started. finally, thinking i may have a thyroid problem i decided to go to the dr and get checked out. i knew something was not normal. i quickly did a stick test to rule that out ( i knew they would ask) i promptly forgot about the test and later was stunned to see a teeny, tiny, ever so light line....i freaked. shocked. stunned.

i had my first ultra sound at 4.5 weeks. we saw the heart beat at 4.5 weeks! i then had an internal ultrasound to try to hear the heart beat. i told god that i wanted to hear it. after about 30 seconds, we heard the heart beat and recorded it!

i had my 3rd ultrasound at 9 weeks and everything is peachy-keen. this one is sticking and staying and it's time to share. wheee!

i have had 5 prenatal appoints. everything is good. my weight gain is wonderful, heart beat is strong, my blood pressure is down, no swelling. i am also not working out, not even walking. i am told to take it easy and i am! (really dad, i am!)

i am being plagued with this redic night sweats. i soak my sheets nightly. it's got to be the biggest annoyance in the world! i wake up 2 or more times every night, soaked and shivering. there is nothing i can do, it's just the hormones. it's worth it and this too shall pass!

so there ya's go. baby # 2 is on it's way!
