2nd trimester!!!

Baby Deuce and I are now in our 2nd trimester!!!  Which seems impossible considering how incredibly looooooong my 1st trimester seemed to last with Paisley.  It was like I could hear every single clock in the nearest 100 miles ticking second by second.  Days seemed to last 3 times as long as they do now.

Partly, this makes me happy because I'm calm and relaxed and just enjoying my pregnancy.  But then there is a huge part of me that adores being pregnant and I know this is the last time.  So, I don't want to rush it at all.   I look forward to the point when I can feel the baby move (which didn't happen until 22 weeks with P, so I may still have a while).

My NT scan went great last week and they called me today to tell me that my bloodwork was perfect.  I had to call them back to get exact numbers because I'm obsessive about these kind of things!  I go back at the end of the month for my 2nd set of bloodwork and then March 3rd for my anatomy scan!!!

I went into this pregnancy weighing slightly less than I did when I got pregnant with Paisley, but I've only gained 3 pounds in the 1st trimester which I'm thankful for.  I gained 34 with her and I'd love if I could be a little closer to the 25 mark when I have this one.  Bad thing is that I have August heat to contend with again which inevitably leads to August swelling....

We finally started weekly pregnancy photos last week so I'll post my new one once we take it today.  I had a TON of early bloating so I seemed to "show" a lot sooner but that seemed to disappear a week or two ago and now I'm looking similar to my last pregnancy at this point.   My PA workplace still doesn't know I'm pregnant, but I'm planning on telling them this week.  Even with my labcoat and scrubs on, it's going to become pretty obvious soon!

It has been WAY too long since I’ve posted here and I’m eager to rejoin the blogging world!!!  The kids are 5 and 7 and super fun, I’m working at a medspa doing injectables and lasers full time and I’m 14 years in to marriage now.   But here’s where life has now lead me!  I have been driven to do a medical mission trip over the past few weeks and I’m very set on Haiti.  Yes, they are currently having a temper tantrum over the increased fuel prices which they definitely can’t afford, but that country needs help!!!!!   So, I’m here to tell my story of how this all goes!  I’ll need lots of prayers and support in this crazy endeavor!

Meet Our Little Miracle, Paisley Kate

The post I have been waiting 2 years to write is finally here and I can't really believe it. On Saturday, I woke up at 8:30 a.m. with BAD contractions. By the 2nd one, I knew I was in "real" labor. They were SO different than the braxton-hicks. I got out of bed and decided that I'd take a bath, until water ran down both legs. The pain after that got pretty unbearable immediately and I was having contractions every 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. So, I called Aaron at work to tell him it was "the big day". He decided I was kidding until I nearly leapt through the phone to wring his neck. :) We got to the hospital an hour later and I was dilated to a 4 and having very active contractions. They quickly got me moved to an L&D room. I got my epidural ( AMAZING - we'll talk about this in its own post soon) at a 6 and then my doctor broke my water. (Apparently at home, it had just leaked a pocket of fluid). After he broke my water, labor started picking up ...

Blogging Failure

The fact that I blog less than I exercise is not a good sign.  I miss you all.  And I'm glad to be where I'm at because the problem is that my cup runneth over.  Life is crazy.  The kids are growing and becoming real people and exploring and I'm still struggling to figure out how to parent a VERY challenging 3-year-old. Dear Paisley is actually quite a joy to raise.  She is spunky and energetic and funny.  We desperately struggle to stifle our laughter as we discipline her for things that I never expected her to do or say.  She is the center of attention and loves her baby brother like there's no tomorrow.  I've never met a more opinionated and divalicious child though.  She picks every piece of clothing she wears, which toy she brings in the car, exactly what she is willing to eat, how her hair is fixed, which door she uses to get in the car, etc.  I hear you out there judging me.  I would have to until I gave birth to Whitney ...
