week9

So this is week 9 of our pregnancy. hehehe I am still giddy. This preg has been so different from Zack's. I have had ALL the symptoms. I didn't have any with Zack. Some say that I will have a Girl and some say it is just because it is my 2nd. Well we will only know who is right when the baby is born. I have been better this week I am able to eat meat again just carefully and it is more smells and taste that bother me now. I am still tired and want to sleep all the time, but then I look around my house and YARD and see how bad things get when I take time off. This pregnancy has gotten in the way of my spring cleaning. I have so many things that need to get done and that I want to do but, I let myself think oh what will it matter if I go pull last falls weeds today. No one has said anything yet and it will probably snow again any way. Well lets hope I get off my tush this weekend.
I also wanted to say that it is really cool that I have so many friends that are due around the same time as me. I am excited to have my sis and sis in law prego with me but I also have 3 other friends who are. This kid will have plenty of buddies. Zack is so excited to have a brother or sister. I think we talk about it every day. Last night I showed him some pics on line of what the baby looks like now and how big is it. It is funny to see his face and hear his expressions. He said "He it looks like an alien baby!" and "Why can i see thru him?", "Where are his ears?' he is so fasinated with what the baby can and can't do. He wants to know when each sence is developed I think he wants to know the baby can hear him so he will know him when he gets out. (or she...)

Expecting

I am trying not to be to over the top but I can't help it. I AM HAVING A BABY!!!! AGAIN!!! We found out on Wednesday that we are expecting our 2nd child. What a surprise. As you may well know it has been a long hard journey for us to conceive a second child. I finally was ready to try some more drastic measures. On Friday the 6th I had called my Dr to have a procedure done that would hopefully render a child. They wouldn't let me buy the kit to do it with because they were upping the price and they didn't know what it was yet. Sop they were going to make me call back Monday and pay for it(you have to pay in advance as they are so expensive and not common). Well I for got to call Monday and Tuesday I was thinking why haven't I started yet?.... I have had all the symptoms for over a week now an Nada....so I got to thinking that I should take a test. The first test I took only colored half of the vertical line. So I wasn't sure if it was yes or no. The next one was a digital test (no screwing that one up), it came back as "see leaflet" R U KIDDING ME!! Well now I had to know so I called my DR. The next day I went to his office and the nurse said as soon as it hit the stick it went blue. "You are definitely Pregnant!" I was so happy to hear that but as soon as I left the office I was horrified that something might go wrong like the other two times. So I went back and said I really need to speak with my Dr. He saw me with no apt. and said that everything should work out this time. The problem was more in the conception part not the caring part. The last two must not have been good enough so my body kicked them out. But this one seems good. My hormone levels are high and I am having a lot of symptoms that I didn't have last time. With his reassurance I left the office. I called Brad right away and gave him the news...He is elated and still has a contact high....We were planning on waiting till I was thur my first trimester. We lasted one day. He wanted to tell one friend and I as well. Then He wanted to tell Zack and I gave in. All we had to say was"Zack we have a secret" and he said "YOUR ARE PREGNANT!!!" Looking right at me. Then he said "are you going to keep this one?" Break my heart kid. He has had so many questions and wants so badly to be in the room when the baby is born. I had to explain that I will probably have to have surgery and so he will have to wait outside and Dad will bring it out to see him. He has been asking so many questions Here are a few:
"can I name it?" he wanted to name it CUTIE
"can it hear me now?" he continued to ask about seeing, smelling etc.
" what is it going to eat?"
"when can it run"
" can it watch wrestling with me?"
I am so happy for him to be able to be a big brother. When he found out he wanted to tell his Teacher at school as we were going to parent teacher conference that night. So I thought sure no harm right. She gave us some really good advise, she said that we should make allot of this about Zack and not so much the baby, (the baby will get attention any way). Have a Big Brother Party for Zack instead of a Meat our new addition party. Zack doesn't strike me a jealous but hey I am willing to try anything to prevent that as long as possible.
