Baby #2

These are just some journal type entries that i wrote about baby #2 so far, you dont have to read them if you dont want because they are probably boring to anybody but me. ha ha. Its mostly for journaling sake.

July 4th, 2011

I found out that i was pregnant on Wed June 29th. I had been taking pregnancy test for 4 days and nothing, the stupid negative kept coming up. I was sick of taking them, so i was gonna wait for friday and that would have been a week after my period was due, but it was about 2pm in the afternoon and i decided, what the heck, im gonna take the last dollar store test, its only a buck. So i take it, lo and behold, there is a little line there. I start freaking out and trying to take pictures to e-mail to Nick so that he can tell me that there really is a line there. My camera was being so stupid and i couldn't get a decent picture. I finally got one to send to him, nick then said to wait until i got a better test in the morning. Well i was convinced that i was pregnant. So was nick, he had been saying i was for a week, he just wanted a better positive.
Well i couldn't wait for the morning, so later that afternoon, i went and got a digital pregnancy test, none of this line business, and took it. And it said PREGNANT!!!! Yay!!

We told our families the next day with a cute little plate of cookies. My sister in laws Joni and Lindsay had the best reactions, they were so shocked and excited. It was funny. Lindsay didn't get what the plate of cookies meant, she just kept saying i get it, i get it, with a confused look on her face. Finally my brother says, it means amber is pregnant. Then Lindsay screams, I get it with a super excited smile on her face and she comes over and gives Matty and me a hug. It was so funny.

So far i have felt super good. I am just constantly hungry and going to the bathroom a lot. I have had a headache every once in awhile and i get tired. But so far no nausea or vomiting. I know, its coming, so hopefully im not jinxing myself. I am only 5 1/2 weeks right now and last time the vomiting started at about 6 and 7 weeks. So hopefully i still have a good 2 weeks, that would make me happy. Its nice to feel good and be pregnant. The only time i ever felt like that was in my third trimester last time, and even then you have all the other aches and pains and i was still vomiting a lot, but i had good days.

I'm not sure when my due date is, which means i dont really know how far along i am, because my period is longer then most peoples and every website i try to give me a due date gives me a different one. Super annoying. So right now i am going with March 1st because it is right in the middle of all the due dates i have found. I dont go to the doctor until August 12th ( i know, my dr doesnt see you until your like ten weeks and then i had to go the next week beacuse of nick's day off), so at that time i will know what is really going on in there. : ) Funny fact, with Matthew our first drs visit was Friday August 14th and with the next baby it is Friday August 12th. Funny.

Today I am 6 weeks, 1 day along. I am still feeling awesome. I have to keep eating every hour to keep my stomach happy because it seems to always be hungry. Yesterday I was my sister in laws escort through the temple and then my brother and sister in law got sealed. It was a wonderful, happy experience and I'm glad that i got to be a part of it.

Last night after the temple, Nick gave me a blessing. I have been feeling really nervous about this pregnancy because i haven't had a lot of the same symptoms as last time, so it kinda feels like i'm not really pregnant. He blessed me with comfort and that i would be more physically healthier this time around so that i could take care of Matthew. I find that as a really big blessing and am very thankful for it.

Hopefully me feeling so good means that im having a girl! : ) I can wish. : ) I also cant decided on when i want to tell people that i am pregnant. Sometimes i feel like waiting until i go to the doctor and other days i want to tell people right now. I will probably wait until i am at least 8 weeks, its just hard because i am so excited that we are gonna have another baby.

 Well i found out on Sunday that i don't know how to calculate due date.  Ha ha. Or i don't know how to enter them into the computer. My sister Amy called me and said when is your due date again, and i told her and she told me i was wrong because those days didn't even correlate. So she had me sit down and count 40 weeks exactly from May 21st, and the date that came out was February 25th! Wahoo! So i was super excited about that because that now makes me, 7 weeks and 3 days today. So i gained a week. It will probably change again when i go to the doctor in a month, but i will be happy for now. : )

   I am still feeling really well, as long as i eat. I have been getting a lot of headaches though, and they suck. Even when i take tylenol it like only takes the edge off, so my head still hurts. : ( how ghetto is that? I am very thankful however that I have not puked yet, although i did have to breath alot last night to get out of it. But i did. Thank heaven for lamaze breathing classes.

   Our family got even more exciting news yesterday, My sister Amy is pregnant! Wahoo! She is two weeks behind me, so our babies are gonna be so close it age, what fun! Hopefully they will both be girls. That would be amazing. Matthew and Ellis have so much fun together, it'll be fun to have 2 more close together!

Today I am 8 weeks, 2 days. I'm still feeling good, for the most part. Except for the blasted gas! It's killing me. Seriously. It hurts and it makes me bloated and makes me feel like i wanna puke even though im not that nauseas  I dont know what to do because i never had this problem with Matthew. I feel like it keeps me up at night too because i dont sleep anymore. I just toss and turn and wish that i was asleep. Which is not cool. I cant wait til i go to the dr so i can ask her for something to take care of this. Its driving me insane and in lots of pain. blah.
