Baby #2 Update

So i went to a doc today and finally got everything confirmed and an ultrasound. I am between 12 and 13 weeks pregnant and he gave me a due date of August 22nd. Finally! It feels so good to have a couple details and know a little more. I have being dying to know how pregnant I am so it's great to know that at least.

I had actually went to a different practice last week and had a pretty bad experience. I just really was not comfortable there. Granted, their office was in "transition" as they are moving to a new location this spring, but it was kind of dirty and really unorganized in there. They had about 6 doctors and 4 NP's and it was pretty much a guarantee you would never see the same person more than once. You may never meet the one who is going to deliver your baby. Things like that. I went to my appt. last week expecting an ultrasound and was very disappointed when they told me they would have to order one and it would be at least a week away. And to top it all off, the nurse I got was flat out rude. So, bad experience, and after not LOVING my doctor that I had with Tula, I knew I had to switch. I swore to myself after Tula's delivery that the next time I would try and find someone I really liked so it could be the best experience possible.

I am really excited about this guy. He is the only doctor at the practice, so I will only see him. And he delivers the babies as well. If he is out on delivery they will call and let you know not to come in or to come in late for your appt. He seemed really cool. He is pretty young though, and single, which is kind of strange. I asked him if he was married with the intention of the next question being, "How many kids do you have?" Assuming, I suppose. When I asked if he was married he looked at me and said, "No. Does that matter to you?" Seriously wondering if I was going to walk out right there or something. I was like, "I guess not." But I was kind of thinking about how strange that was. Like, what the heck would make him want to get into that field. Hopefully he is not one of those creepy frat boys who thought it would be "cool" to get to "stare at vaginas all day". He seemed really nice and did an ultrasound for me right away to confirm everything and get me a due date. The annoying part was the ultrasound said I am between 12 nd 13 weeks along and when i went to that other practice last week they felt around my stomache and told me I was between 14 and 18 weeks. So I was expecting to hear I was a little farther a long than he said today. I knew I wasn't 18 weeks, I was huge with Tula by then, but I was really hoping I was at least 14. Oh well. Two more weeks and then I will be!

I am feeling great and the tired spells have pretty much passed completely. For me, that is the hardest part of the first trimester is the sleepiness. Thank Goodness I don't have to deal with anything worse than that. And I know with Tula I had a great 2ng tri and so far it's looking to be the same. This pregnancy is very similar to my first, so I am wondering if that is an indication of another girl? Often times people say their pregnancy with their son was completely different with that of their daughter, and so far everything feels the same. So maybe a little sister is on the way? Only 7 more weeks till we find out. I can't wait to know.

So that is the update on Baby #2 and the pregnancy so far. I know I still need to do a Tula 7 months update but SO MUCH has happened this month for her I don't know when I will have the time to sit down and write a post that long. I have had Tiffany staying with me for the last week so I haven't been on the computer as much. She leaves tomorrow and I will try and update you all after that.

If you don't hear from us tomorrow, HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
