Baby H
well, I went to the doctors last week and it wasn't a great appointment but I guess in a way, it wasn't terrible either. We couldn't really "find" the baby. We saw what could've been it but it was really small. We did however hear a heartbeat so that's always good news. I go back on Thursday for another sonogram and bloodwork and I'm praying Sitch (I'm calling it the situation, cause it's the situation I got goin on yo) is fine and I just got my dates all messed up! I'll definitely be updating on Thursday.. not that anyone is reading this yet but still. Keep your thoughts and prayers for Sitch please!

1st Doctor's Appointment
So on Monday we went to our first appointment with Dr. Nadell. He was surprised to see me, but then laughed. I'm measuring a few days behind what I originally thought, but thinking about it, it makes sense. I definitely thought I ovulated a couple of days later than the calendar said, so I was 5 & a half weeks pregnant on Monday. There wasn't a fetus, just a yolk sac which is normal for that stage of pregnancy. Normally, he'd ask me to come back in 2 weeks but to ease my mind, he was nice enough to let me schedule to come back next Wednesday. It can't come soon enough! I'm sure there aren't any problems but of course I'm nervous. I just want to see Baby Haas' heartbeat. I'll know on Wednesday my due date too. He'll have a better idea of where the baby is at, growth wise. I did get a sono. All you can see is the yolk sac but what a cute baby right? looks just like Declan haha just kidding.
Morning sickness decided to start Monday morning. Everytime I wake up, after a few minutes, I dry heave. It sucks so much! I'm sure I'll be full on puking by next week. But puking is always a good sign!! Less of a chance of a miscarriage. My doctor said once I hit 9 weeks, the chance of miscarriage reduces DRASTICALLY.. I think I'll tell everyone around 8-9 weeks. That's so far away!! It's so hard to keep my damn mouth shut. Oh well. Till next time, have a great day :-)

5 Weeks
Today, I'm 5 weeks pregnant. The more and more I read about what is going on inside, how my bean is developing, makes it more real and I get really excited. I can't believe I'm growing inside of me, something that will turn out to be, just like Declan is! The female body seriously amazes me sometimes! Right now, Baby Haas #2 is the size of an appleseed! How cute!! It's developing it's brain and heart and other organs which is amazing. A week from tomorrow, I'll be seeing my doctor and hopefully see my baby's heartbeat. Pretty amazing stuff.
No new symptoms have developed. Still having terrible sleep and excessive amount of urinating! I went to Babies R Us yesterday to buy a new pregnancy pillow to hopefully, allow me to have better sleep. This is what I got..
it's pretty comfortable, I just have to figure out how to move it around for different positions. I'm going to post some pictures of my belly when I get home. I'm really not happy about the way I look so please excuse my fat. I decided to go on an ice cream binge the 2 weeks I probably got pregnant with Declan (well you know what I mean) and even though I'm only 2 pounds heavier than I was pre pregnancy with Declan, I look COMPLETELY different. oh well. there's always next time right! Well, till next time :-)

Leggo I'm Preggo!
Rick & I decided we would go for baby number 2 last month. I started to take my prenatal vitamins, bought Mucinex (it's supposed to help with the baby making process) and started charting. I guess I ovulated later than I originally thought because I thought there was no chance we got it right the first try! I did definitely feel pregnant (constantly peeing, MAJOR cramping, enhanced sense of smell, etc) but every test I kept taking said negative. I got really discouraged, stopped testing. 2 days later I figured what the hell, and used a digital. I swear, I never expected to see "pregnant" I was fully prepared to be disappointed. When those magic words "pregnant" came up, I nearly had a heart attack. I couldn't breathe, I was hyperventilating, crying, laughing (basically the same reaction when I found out I was pregnant with Declan). It was unreal.
Of course, the first person I called was my mother. She started freaking out too! I talked to Rick before and he told me he didn't want to find out over the phone so I had to keep it from him! I couldn't keep my mouth shut though. So I let a few really close friends know, and my family as well as my sister in law. I figured, god forbid something happens, I have a support system. I wouldn't want to go through a tragedy like that by myself! Right now, I'm only 4weeks2days so I am of course super paranoid and scared.
According to www.babycenter.com, I'm due April 10th, 2011! That will put Declan 2 days before he's 22 months! 2 under 2. What was i thinking?? haha I do look at Declan and panic a little, thinking I'm taking something away from him but everyone I talk to that have kids that close in age, don't regret it and say they are best of friends. That's all I want for Declan is someone to love him and for him to love as much as we love him. I am going to savor every moment I have with him before this baby comes. He's my life and I am a little worried how I'll possibly love another child as much as I love Declan, but I know my love will just grow!
I made my first appointment with Dr Nadell (LOVE him!) for August 16th so I can't wait to see him and hopefully get a sonogram. I'm going to cry when I see that beautiful little heart beat. It's becoming more real the more I read about what's going on with the baby's growth. I'm growing another human inside of me!!! That's just so strange and amazing at the same time.
I've already had some symptoms which surprised me a little bit. I didn't think I'd feel anything so early on, but I have major cramping, got a little nauseous last night, non stop peeing, sore breasts, and this is how I KNOW I'm pregnant, my sleep SUCKS now. I remember when I was pregnant with Declan, my arms would feel tingly and fall asleep real easily if I was laying on one side for too long. Well, that came back the day I got my BFP (big fat positive) looks like I'll be buying a pillow today!!
Well I hope to continue blogging throughout this pregnancy and maybe do some things I didn't do with Declan that I regret (like keeping track of all the dates of special events, or getting maternity pictures!) I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoy writing it.
