6 weeks

Ok, well actually we don't know how far along I am because I don't go to the dr for several more weeks so I am just guessing.

I think these first several weeks are my least favorite, not because of the tiredness and nausea, but because I don't know WHAT you are. Are you another sweet girl? Are you a mommas boy? I love finding out what sex my babies are so I can begin to imagine and fall in love with you even more. Of course I love you now, but there is something so satisfying about thinking of names, and making blankets for you and thats hard to do when we don't know who you are.

We are going to a new OB after all the troubles Dr Judd gave me. He seemed alright at the time, but now looking back and understanding more, he was not the best choice for me.

Since Madison came early, this pregnancy may be considered "high risk" and I would like a Dr that is willing to listen to me. Our first Dr appt is November 10th. They will draw my blood, listen to the heart beat and do a little ultrasound to see you. I can't wait. Daddy will be working and starting fire school so he wont be able to attend this first visit and I think he is very upset about it. However, Mimi will be in town so we are dragging her along so she can see everything and help with Madison. I think she will be VERY excited.

We told Grandma and Grandpa earlier last week and told all the siblings on Sunday at dinner. Madison wore a "I'm the best big sister" shirt and we just kinda waited until people noticed. BUT having 5 uncles, no one cares. Aunt Lindsay seemed to care and of course it sparked her "need for another baby" so lets see if she has one now.

We haven't told My parents yet because we are waiting till they get here for a visit and we will tell them on Mimi's 50th birthday.

I have been feeling waves of sickness so far but I am not taking any medication this time around. Last time it made me so sleepy with Madi I could barely keep my eyes awake. Now trying to entertain a toddler, that won't be possible. I haven't thrown up yet but I do get waves of sickness and food aversions sometimes. We will see how this little bean continues to grow. I seem to have insomnia most nights which has made it a little rough, but I still have enough energy during the day so I appreciate that.
