Let's Talk All About Baby #2
Thank you again for all of your sweet comments on my blog, facebook, and instagram! You sure know how to make a girl's day!
Okay, so I promised to answer alllll your questions....
How far along are you? I'm 15 weeks as of today! I have a feeling this pregnancy is going to go by super fast.
When are you due? June 10! I had to have a c-section with Hudson but would really love to have a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) this go around. So we'll see!
How are you feeling? Well, I've been feeling all sorts of awful. When I was pregnant with Hudson I felt mildly nauseous basically the entire 1st trimester, which was zero fun. This time around it's been a lot worse. I've been really sick, throwing up, you name it. And I've had just about every other sickness too, including two stomach bugs, and a sore throat. Luckily, I am starting to feel more and more like myself, and thanks to some Zofran, I'm not throwing up anymore. I also had to pay a little visit to the ER in the middle of the night a few weeks ago. I woke up with really bad chest pains and was having a hard time breathing. The doctors thought I might have a blood clot in my lungs so they recommend a CT scan...and of course I'm assigned a resident who says the risk of a CT is "fetal demise." AND THAT WAS ALL SHE SAID. So basically, you need a CT, but your baby might die. So of course I lost it. And luckily my mom works with my doctor and knew that he was on call and actually in the hospital, so she walked upstairs to talk to him and he came down to the ER to let me know it was totally safe to do the CT scan. And that my baby would be fine. And that residents are scared of pregnant women. So...long story short, I had the CT, they didn't find a clot, silly resident wanted to do more tests, I said no, they sent me home, and I'm fine.
Are you going to find out if it's a boy or girl? We found out with Hudson because there was NO WAY I could wait one more day to find out. But this time around, we are thinking about letting it be a surprise. With Hudson we knew he was a boy and we knew his birthday (thanks to a breech baby)....and I guess it took some of the fun and excitement out of things. So we might be surprised this time around. We still have a few weeks to think about it, so we might changed our minds!
Do you want a boy or a girl? We would love for Hudson to have a brother. We would love for him to have a sister. We really do not care either way....we just want a healthy baby. I know everyone says that, but we can see ourselves having a boy or a girl...and we are excited by either one! Also another reason we might wait until delivery day to find out the sex.
What does Hudson think about all of this? Hudson has no clue what is happening. I think Wrigley knows more than he does. Hudson says "NO baby" when we ask him if he wants a baby. He also thinks he has a baby in his tummy just like mommy. Hudson will be 2 years old and 9 months when this baby comes, so hopefully his feelings will change by then!
Will you do weekly bump updates? Probably not. Sorry. You can see my weekly updates with Hudson here. I really loved do them...but they were SO much work. I hated that stupid chalkboard towards the end. I can't imagine having time to do that this go around. I'll post pictures every now and then so that you can see (because there's nothing cuter than a baby bump, am I right?) but probably won't be updating it every week. (p.s. dang, I was cute last time! And tiny! I already look like I am 20 weeks....hope this bump slows down a bit!)
