10 Week Photo

 We are expecting another baby, due date is February 28, 2012(its a LEAP year, so hopefully this little squirt will come right on or a few days early), and we are excited! Kind of, sort of, not planned, and kind of, sort of, planned. Took about 7 months with Julie, and this time, just once, didn't think I was ovulating, but apparently we were wrong. I think Heavenly Father was like, here is my chance! Wanted a spring baby, but getting another slightly winter baby. Which is fine, because then I can use all my pregnancy clothes from before.

This pregnancy has definitely been different, I started feeling sick around 6 weeks(with Julie it was at 7 weeks and lasted a week and a half), and never have thrown up but have to eat something every 2-3 hours or I feel like crap(which isn't awful, but not a feeling I like to have). And I am now 11 weeks and feel the same way, maybe a little less crap feeling though. Although, it really isn't bad. My mornings are super slow and if I sit down on the couch, I am bound to end up there for a while to take a little rest or snooze. Julie usually just sits there right with me reading a book, playing with her toys, or whatever. I love that she wants to be so close even though I am not doing anything with her. And in the evening I have been getting awful gas bubbles that get stuck right under my ribs, SOOOO not fun. I feel huge already, I feel and look like what I was at around 17 weeks or so. 11 weeks with Julie I didn't look pregnant at all. 

Had my first doctors appointment and everything looks great. Heartbeat was 177, I am measuring right on, and we even got to see the baby. With Julie I got an ultra sound because they couldn't hear the heartbeat, but I guess they do it for the first appointment at my doctors office now. Here is a good profile shot of the babe, the babe was moving around quite a bit and doing somersaults. We only get pictures, so this is a picture of a picture.

 It was so fun to hear the heartbeat while seeing the beats on the screen also. She also told me to drink a gallon of water(liquid/milk and juice is included in the total), that is like drinking a cup of water every hour of the day I am awake. There are 16 cups in a gallon, I don't think I have quite hit a gallon a day, but I sure drink when I think about it, and leave a full glass on the counter. Drinking, drinking, drinking, oh and peeing, peeing, peeing! I wake up once a night to go pee, and this started pretty early in my pregnancy. With Julie I think it started around 13 weeks, and I actually woke up from wetting the bed(so NOT cool), so from then on I set my alarm to wake me up during the night to go pee, so that would not happen again. But, this time I am happy to say I have not wet the bed, but I sure pee a LOT during that night time bathroom trip.

And now, here is my 12 week photo.

Here, in the start my 12th week, I think my nausea is starting to fade a little. And I got a hair cut today, just a trim, but it is nice to get rid of all those split ends.
We announced it to our parents over the 24th weekend by sticking a "I am going to be a Big Sister" shirt on her.

 Made it pretty easy, I am not good at making announcements. We got the shirt from zoeysattic.etsy.com, ours was the whimsy bird style shirt, they have lots of fun big sister and brother shirts on there, I will have to post a picture when I get her in it again, keep forgetting.
