7 weeks 4 days
We found out we were pregnant the Friday morning of October 10. We found out we were pregnant with Lilly on a Friday morning too. It's hard to describe the feeling those 2 pink lines give you. We giggled like kids. We laughed and joked about having a baby while living upstairs in my parents house. We hope we are settled into a new house by then, but I guess there is a possibility we won't be, depending on when we sale our house. But right now we are just focusing on the positives!
We had our first ultrasound on October 29. The baby was upside down so it looks like they are standing on their head :) We heard a strong heartbeat of 141. Best sound ever. And just like that I had the same feelings I did with Lilly. It feels weird to think about loving another baby as much as I love Lilly, but I don't think this is going to be a problem. Our due date is June 17. Lilly's due date was April 16, but she was born on the 4th. I wonder what this baby will do? I've already asked the baby to please be born on the last week of school so I can enjoy a nice long summer with him or her. Lilly seems excited and she keeps telling us she has a baby in her tummy too, named Ella Charles!
But holy moly.... I never knew something the size of a blueberry could make me so sick. I guess this baby is already trying to outdo their big sister. I have puked and puked and puked some more. I constantly feel like I drank 15 beers the night before. I've even had throw up parties at work!! One day after school I drove straight to my grandparents house and laid on their couch for an hour. When we were sick as kids, we called their couch the "sick couch" because we would lay on it all day while grandma took care of us. The dr gave me medicine on Wednesday. Thursday was the first day in a while that I haven't lost my food. But the medicine makes me feel funny, very drowsy but jittery. And on top of that, I puked after our trick-or-treat hay ride on Halloween. Boo. This baby better be cute!!

I need to knock on every piece of wood I see.. But... I think I'm starting to feel better. I stopped taking the first medicine the dr gave me and now I just have zofran. I'm only taking it if I feel like I'm about to puke. Yesterday and today I have felt half way normal, just a little queezy. Maybe I will be back to normal by Thanksgiving!!
And can we talk about this baby bump! I guess it is true that you show earlier with your 2nd. None of my pants fit. I never thought maternity clothes would feel so good. We decided to announce my pregnancy now because it's getting pretty dang obvious. And we are excited. And I'm pretty sure my nieces already told everybody they knew. I think we announced Lilly's pregnancy even sooner than this baby. We are horrible at keeping secrets. Babies are blessings... Even if they do make you sick :)
