A Post on Being Pregnant

So. I realize that I haven't said much, hardly anything, about being pregnant with baby number two. I suppose that it is time I sit down and share a few things.

I am due on the 16th of July. I have something like seven weeks left. I imagine it will be sooner than that though. This pregnancy has kicked my butt, although it just could be that I have a one year old I spend my day chasing around. 

Seriously though. My family is growing so quick. It makes me so happy. I also has me terrified. Two babies... I used to think that I wanted twins. I take back all those thoughts and wishes.

Baby number two is a boy. I'm happy with this. They are going to be best friends being so close in age, fourteen months apart, and both being boys.

I found out that I was pregnant just before Thanksgiving. I was obviously late but didn't think much of it since I had just visited Krista in DC. Big trips seem to through me off a bit. Brett and I had made plans to try to get pregnant starting in January, but we decided to not get back on birth control. It makes me a bit crazy. TMI. Anyways, bam, baby number two. I was at the store and started to feel a bit light headed, which totally gave me a flash back to mornings being pregnant with Isaac. Then I thought about it some more and realized what was really going on. I took two tests. Both were positive. 

I have a great doctor. If anyone is looking for one. I see Dr. Greyson Guzman. I absolutely love him. He is normal and has a great personality, not the doctor kind that seem to not care. He says the funniest and strangest things. But my favorite thing is that he is totally upfront and doesn't beat around the bush about anything. 

Most days I am totally worn out. I was doing really good until about 28 to 30 weeks. I didn't really feel too pregnant until then. Now, at like 33/34 weeks, this baby literally had nowhere else to go. I am not kidding when I say nowhere. Every time he moves it hurts. My bladder, my back, my lungs. My lungs... I can't breathe. Ever. I can't sleep either. I don't like being pregnant. So I am whining a bit. But seriously I don't think I will make it to 37 weeks, but we will see. I know for sure I am not going to make it all 40. I feel like labor is just around the corner.

On that note. I have been trying to get things ready around the house. Get things organized, buy a few things. We plan on keeping the baby in the pack and play for a month or two. Then we are moving Isaac out of the nursery into the toddler room. I have great plans for this room. Stay tuned for that. I have most of the things we need already since Isaac was only just a newborn a year ago.

But that is all I guess. So far it has been a normal pregnancy. Lots of blood work. Lots of trips to the chiropractor. But I am just waiting for this baby to come.

Talk later...
