Precious Pumpkin

Well after some precious bumps in our road and one angel in heaven we are happy to announce that we are having another baby. I had a feeling I was pregnant and since I had MLK Jr. day off from work what better day then to test when I am home with Rob. I got up early took my pregnancy test and got a great positive (YAY!!!!) took HB to school went to the store got a nice card for Rob and some breakfast and home it was to surprise him with our new addition news.

 

We decided not to tell everyone, as we just wanted to keep this our little secret for a while to make sure all is good with the baby. It was very hard for us to do, so yes some people knew before others, but we really tired our best.

 

Well at the 5 week mark I am sick....nauseated all day and all night and sometimes actually getting sick in the evening. This little pumpkin surely must be growing good because I was nauseated with HB, but when I would eat I would be ok....not with this little one. We are very excited and can't wait until March 15th to see our new little one.

 

Well March 15th is finally here and we are off to our 9a.m. doctors appointment. Anxious and nervous the whole way there, but with Rob by my side I knew everything was going to be good. We got in and were so excited to see our doctor again and his nurse, they are really great people. We did our usual joking around and laughing together and then it was time to get an ultrasound and see the baby.

Once in the room and all prep and ready a glimpse of the baby came up on the screen and the nurse, student dr. and our Dr. were all like "there's the baby!!!!" Needless to say I started to cry with tears of joy. The doctor was learning the new ultrasound machine so we got the chance to just watch the little one move all around for almost 20 minutes. The baby was sooo active, shaking his/her little hands above their head and kicking and just moving all about....we were all in amazement. Every time the doctor thought he had the machine figured out the baby would do something cute and distract us all, it was a lot of fun to say the very least. We even got some great pictures....if you look close you can see little ones eyes, nose, mouth and ears...so in love we are already!!

 

Once we were all done with our running around we went and got HB from school and brought her home to tell her the big news. We got the pictures out and her new Big Sister shirt and talked to her about the baby. She is bashful about it all, but is warming up to the idea. If you ask her about being a big sister she just gets shy and doesn't want to talk about it, but she is interested in my belly and what's going on in there so that is all good.

 

We are all very excited and I couldn't have made it through these sick weeks without my mom coming over to entertain HB while I get sick and sleep and also without Rob. He stayed home with me a couple of days just to make things easier and has done so much around the house and with HB that without him helping I would be miserable and we would all be wearing dirty clothes...Lol

 

Love in one Very Happy Family
