Tummy Tuesday

It's BAAAAACK!!!!

No bump yet, just bloated....

Frequently asked questions:

Was this a suprise?: Yes, and No... Yes we had been "trying" but my last cycle ended in a miscarriage so we were letting my body heal for month before trying again, and well.... I took a test a few days after Christmas and it was positive, but the doctor said it could still be residual hormones and they wanted to see me to confirm the pregnancy. Because of New Years I could not get an appointment until after the first of the year when they confirmed I was pregnant but had no idea how far along "could be anywhere from 4 weeks to 9 weeks." A week later I went in for an ultrasound and confirmed that I was just over 8 weeks. They also said my progesterone was VERY high indicating I was at a very low risk of miscarrying again.

When are you due?: Official Due date is August 28th, but the ultrasound measured the baby as due Aug 30th... so anytime the end of August I guess... Either way I am going to be VERY HOT.

Boy or Girl?: Definitely have a girl feeling this time. Chase and I both keep referring to it as a "she." But I think that may just be because that is all we know? We will see... I would love to have a little boy eventually but Chase would love a house full of girls. Honestly though, we don't really have a preference. Mary Claire points at the ultra sound picture and says "baby sissser" apparently if she is going to be a sister so is the new kid.

How are you feeling? I really can't complain. I get a little queezy now and then and am very tired (not sleepy tired like I was with Mary Claire, but just I-wanna-sit-and-be-still-and-quiet-all-day kind of tired)

Oh--- and meet the pinnacle of Parenthood

That's right folks! We are the proud owners of a mini van. Yes, I am eating all the unkind words I ever said about mini-vans. It ROCKS!
