Guess what! Baby #2 is on it's way! I have known for several weeks now, but of course have been hesitant to post about it incase I miscarry. If you're reading this, please keep this on the DL. I am mainly posting about this as a journal entry. I am 10w & 4d today. This was our first month "trying," too. I've had 2 appointments so far with the OB. Well, I guess 3 technically. That additional appointment was just a blood test that was given because of when I was pregnant with Damon having gestational diabetes. They like to test earlier just to be cautious for patients with it in their history. Fortunately, I passed with flying colors. So, they will test me again at the regular time in a couple of months to see if it onsets later on. We heard the heartbeat this last appointment which was this week. The heart rate was 170. I feel like for some reason this time around that I am more worrisome about miscarrying. For some reason I had this gut-wrenching feeling that I was going to miscarry before we could hear the heartbeat, but I'm glad everything seems to be perfect. I am hoping it's just my motherly instincts which are stronger this time that just got a little bit out of control. I have felt a bit of morning sickness, but nothing that eating doesn't help. I don't know if I just forgot, but I think I've been more sick this time. Between my first and second appointments, I actually lost 5lbs. I actually weigh less now than I did before getting pregnant. My appetite is crappy and I don't eat as large of portions as normal. I gained more than I would like when I was pregnant with Damon though. So, helpfully this time is different. We'll see! I'm not TRYING to lose weight though. That wouldn't be the best idea while carrying a baby.
