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.
