Yes it's official. I am pregnant. Pregnant again! Wow what a strange concept to do all over again. Two kids! I don't know why but I'm a whole lot more nervous this time than I was with my first.First of all, what a shock. After trying for nearly a year to get pregnant with Landon, this baby was a first timer. Scott and I had just decided that when the babies would be two years apart we'd start trying. After coming home from my all girl trip I found a nice little surprise waiting for me. Scott paid a little visit to Victoria Secret and bought me a nice little something to begin the trying process. Too much info? Anyways, little did we know I was already pregnant- sorry hon, I guess that article of clothing will have to wait about a year- or longer.
We couldn't' believe it. I didn't think it would take another year but I thought at least 5 or 6 months. Now these kids are going to be exactly 2 years and 1 month apart. That seems so close! I have had such a wide range of emotions running through me. I know they are all normal but I feel bad for Landon having another one. I mean he's totally my little one and only right now. I know I'll love another but is it anything really like your first? How amazing the love that one person can hold.
Basically I've been feeling like crap for about 3 weeks now. I thought I might be prego when I was at work and couldn't stop thinking about ruffle potato chips with sour cream and onion dip. How bizarre! The funny thing is when I was pregnant with Landon I had the same craving early on. It's like it pops in my head and there's no getting it out until I satisfy that craving. The weird thing is I never eat that normally it's totally random. My other symptom came when my family wanted to go to cafe rio and the thought nearly sent me running to the bathroom. That's my two things. I crave chips and have a huge aversion to cafe rio.
I tend to have really strange things happen to me when I'm pregnant. From the obvious weird cravings to a huge tendency to want to gag at just about anything and everything. Smells really trigger the reaction but it happens where ever and when ever. Landon has totally even started mimicking the noise. He hears it so often he thinks it's a game. How sweet huh?
I also normally have really clear skin but not when I'm pregnant. That adorable pregnancy glow everyone talks about turns into oily skin for me which means bad breakouts. The gross thing is they happen on my chest and back. How sick is that? Scott wouldn't even pop any last time. I had to resort to my mom and brother who all happen to be obsessed with pimple popping.
I also start snoring about 7 months on. Not stuffy nose snoring but loud bulldozer snoring. Scott even slept on the couch a few times because it would get so bad. How inconsiderate huh? I've put up with snoring for the past 4 1/2 years and he can't handle a couple months during a rather difficult time.
I also developed a couple skin tags and even had a really weird mole appear on my head last time that was so big and ugly I had to have it removed. My chest size about doubles and lets not even talk about stretch marks and weight gain.
So here I go again. Scott wanted to correct me by saying here we go again. Isn't that funny! As if he has any part in the next 7 months. I think it's hilarious when couples say we're pregnant. Um correction I"M THE PREGNANT ONE! Lets be very clear on that. You're not the one going through all these freaky body changes and you're not the one that has to push the baby out. However, Scott is very helpful during my pregnancy. On occasion he will rub my feet and he's pretty open to eating whatever my little heart desires. I love you hon!!
Well enough griping. I just got back from my appointment and had the chance to hear the rapid 176 heart beat. How amazing only 1 1/2 inches long and 1 oz in weight and there's a little heart beat. Truly amazing! How crazy how fast your body changes. The doc told me while doing my exam that my inside is very pregnant. Whatever that means! I already feel different and I'm convinced I already look pregnant. Anyways it's official I'm 9 weeks almost 10 weeks pregnant due around March 17. Almost 1 month after Landon's birthday. Totally excited!
Any advice on more than one child? Is my social life really coming to an end? Will I ever make it out of the house showered and ready before 2:00. Help!!
