We're Expecting!!!

It is so hard for me to keep good news to myself. As many of you may know, I am NOT a patient person. It's something I work on everyday. I kept this secret however, for 4 weeks! That's a big deal. I was trying to hold it in until Thanksgiving, but I just could not wait anymore!!! Yep, WE'RE PREGGERS!!!

Several weeks ago I was feeling really under the weather. I wasn't due for my period yet, but I've felt this way once before :) I decided to grab a little $1 pregnancy test at Dollar General one day while picking up some diapers for James, just out of curiosity, not really expecting it to be positive though. Well I got home, took the test and immediately got two VERY dark lines!! There was no squinting trying to see some very faint line, no the test line was darker than the control line!!! I told Jed and I'm pretty sure he thought I was joking at first, HA!!

IT'S POSITIVE!!! (sorry it's sideways, I could not get it to turn!)

I called the doctor the next week to make my first appointment, and we set it for when I thought I would be 6 weeks (according to when I'd had my last period). In the meantime we couldn't help but tell a few close friends and family and everyone was so excited! They all told me this one had better be a girl. No pressure!!

I went to the doctor on November 6th. With James for the 1st appointment they really just wanted to make sure I was really pregnant. This time she went ahead and did a full exam and an ultrasound!! Yippee!! She warned me I might not be able to see the baby this early, but you know I was hoping I would. I got my wish! I got to see my sweet little baby (I was 4 days further along than I thought I was) and hear it's heartbeat. It was 146. Now you know they say above 140 means a girl, and under means a boy. Well James' heartbeat was always in the 150's so I know better than to believe that ;)

Our 2nd Little Miracle :)

I go back to the doctor on the 28th. I will be 9 weeks and 4 days. I also get to have another ultrasound, and Jed will get to go with me this time! He didn't go to the first appointment because we thought it was just a confirmation. I hate he missed see the baby for the first time with me, but am so happy he will be with me this next time!

We are so excited to be expecting baby # 2 in June 2012!! James is going to be a great big brother!!
