15 Weeks With Baby #2 and lots of questions.

How did you find out you were pregnant?  By taking a home pregnancy test, of course. It was a complete surprise and I was not expecting it to be positive. 

What kind of Pregnancy test did you take?  Shoot, I don't remember the brand. Probably EPT?
How many?  Just one.  The second line was VERY dark as opposed to when I found I was pregnant with Madi and the line was very faint. 
What were your 1st symptoms?  Exhausted. That was the only thing that prompted me to take a test randomly one night. 
Who did you tell first?  My husband
Who was with you when you found out? I was running a bath for Madison when I decided to quickly take one. When the second line instantly popped up and freaked out and  then ran out to tell Zach, who was bringing in groceries. 
My 1st reaction: Complete shock. Was not expecting it and had a total rush of emotions. I cried. 
Was your baby planned?  We had been trying but with no luck for several months. 
When was the baby conceived? October 4th. 
How far were you when you found out?  Just barely 4 weeks 3 days. 
How did your parents react?  My parents were excited for another grandchild. Zach's parents were happy for us but the uncles didn't care. haha. 
My baby
Due Date:  June 22
Do you know the sex?  Hopefully find out next week. 
Any names?  We have lots that we like but don't think we will decide anything until delivery. 
Any Ultrasounds?  One at my first appointment (7weeks).  Hopefully one at 16 weeks (to find out the sex) and one at 20 weeks for measurements. 
Have you heard the heart beat?  First heard it at the 7 and 12 week appts. We will hear it every time we go it. The heart rate was 164 so they are thinking its a girl. 
Who do you think it will look like? If its a girl, I hope shes just as cute as her sister. If its a boy I'm sure it will be a nice mix of us. 
Will the baby have siblings?  Big sister, Madison who will almost be 3 when the baby is born. 
Have you felt the baby move?  Not really, this kid kinda lays low. Every once and a while I might feel something but nothing big. 
Miscellaneous
Did you have morning sickness?  I was really nauseous from about week 7 - 12 but I am feeling fine now. I didn't take any medication this time around either, so I'm sure that made it worse then it could have been . 
Did you have any cravings? Raspberry lemonade with no pulp & Fish Tacos.  
Did you have any mood swings?  Maybe? I'm trying to be really good this time around because I always have a toddler watching. 
Are you a high risk pregnancy?  Semi - high risk. Because Madison was born early, they are keeping an extra eye on this pregnancy.. and when I'm told to take "bed rest" I need to take it more seriously this time. 
Any complications?  None yet. 
Formula or Breastfeeding? I'm flexible. I will attempt to breastfeed again, but if it does not work, I will not stress and just do formula. 
Have you bought anything for the baby yet? Nothing just yet. I'm sure the shopping will start when we find out the gender. 
When did you start to show? I think around 9 weeks I had a little pouch. Most people don't know I'm pregnant yet but I'm sure in the next couple weeks my tummy will round out. 
How long could you wear your regular clothes?  I bought a few maternity things at 11 weeks for the sheer comfort factor.  I definitely didn’t have a baby bump that early, but I was bloated and opted for comfort.  Best decision. I can still fit in to my jeans while buttoned so that's awesome. 
Will you keep the baby’s clothes?  We did with the first, so I don't see why not. 
Home or Hospital?  Hospital. I want drugs, doctors and everything else.
Natural or Medicated birth?  I want the epidural and any other medication they want to throw my way. I want to enjoy labor and delivery. 
Who will be in the delivery room with you?  My darling husband and maybe a photographer this time. 
Do you think you will need a C-section?  I sure hope not.  I also hope that it all happens when the baby is ready to come out.  Not a fan of being induced either but we shall see. 
Will you cry when you hold the baby for the 1st time?  Of course I will. I have a lot of emotions. 
What’s the 1st thing you might say to the baby?  Hi baby. I'm your mommy. 
Will you let anyone video tape the birth? No. Gross. 
Are you excited? Kind of. I fear a lot more this time around. Will Madison like her little sibling? Will I survive the no sleep newborn stage again? Can I handle being a mother of two? Will we be able to afford everything that comes with having two kids? But deep down. I am excited. 
Who will help you with the baby after the birth?  My mom will come in town for about three weeks to help with things, but she is staying at my grandmothers house so we will see how much help she is. 
What is your favorite thing about being pregnant?  Feeling the baby move.  I love it!
What is the worst thing about being pregnant?  Heartburn. My sweet acne face. 
What’s one thing you miss doing since being pregnant?  Nothing, I really haven't changed my lifestyle too much.   
Any days you wish you were not pregnant?  Not yet. Maybe when I'm really large and sore I will wish for it to be over. 
Are you ready for a baby?  Nope but we still have several months.
Do you have insurance?  Yup 
How many kids do you want?  I think two is good for us. 
Do you talk to the baby?  Eh, not really.  I rub my tummy and say Hi!
Do you still feel attractive? Nope, I feel fat. My face looks like a 15 year old. I definitely don't have a beautiful pregnancy glow. 
Have you had your baby shower yet?  Nope, don't know if I will get one for this kiddo
Do you like kids?  I like MY kid 
How far along are you now? 15 weeks
