So if you have been living under rock for the last 5 months we have some very exciting news!!
Yes yes yes, i do realize that it is February 5th and i only have about 10 weeks left till baby #2 comes, but I thought better late then never to document this pregnancy. Also we have finally entered into the world of Internet at home! That's right ladies and gentlemen we just got home Internet. Anyway, i am hoping this makes it easier for me to remember to document fun/crazy/stressful/beautiful things that go on in our everyday life. KEYWORD : hoping.
I thought I would do a little background on where we come from as a family. So here we go. I met my husband at church camp. ( everybody together now "awwwwwww") I knew from the moment I saw his face that this was the man God had sent for me and he would someday be my husband. That someday happen in March five years later. Best decision ever! We have had our ups and downs but nothing that God couldn't bring us out of. I knew from the moment that I could create a thought in my brain that I was going to be a mom. Even in pre-k I would draw pictures of all my babies. When asked what I wanted to be when I grew up it was either a princess or a mom. I like to think I achieved both of these life goals.( Thank you Chase for treating me like princess) So I knew it wouldn't be long till we decided to start a little family of our own. And in early october 2009 my bubbly, active, total clown of a son was born. Becoming a mom was the scariest most beautiful thing I have ever done. Like seriously what was I doing with my time and engery before this little creature busted into this world?
So lets fast forward to May 2011 and the "lets have another baby" talk popped back into our daily conversations. So we planned on getting pregnant soon so we could still make our family cruise in October with out going over the allotted weeks set by the cruise line.It would be perfect! HAHAHAHA this is the sound of Gods laughter. So come to find out our plan and Gods plan just didn't line up. Almost exactly a year later , four rounds of clomid and the discovery that I have hypothyroidism we got pregnant! Let me tell you it was a long hard year but small compared to what other couples go through.
Pregnancy #2 is different. Pregnancy #2 has been hard. Pregnancy #2 has gone by too fast. so lets play catch up since I have been MIA on this blog since I got pregnant. When I was pregnant with Bashman it was glorious! I felt beautiful, care-free, and like I could do anything! Baby number 2 ughhh not so much. From the moment I peed on the stick (to much info?all well) I felt extremely sick. Morning sickness? um no. ALL DAY SICKNESS. Which is really hard to manage when you have a very active three year old running crazy around the house. So I was hoping that this was just going to be a couple weeks of sickness but my body had other plans. Lets just guesstimate that this lasted about 10 weeks. All is good now except for the occasional heartburn, slight nausea, a case of the icky stomach bug, and a terrible bladder infection. I don't want to sound like a total wah wah but I am a total wah wah. I thank God for my sickness, pain and state of being uncomfortable. I am thankful that while I suffer my baby m is growing strong and healthy. I am thankful that while I was throwing up everything including water my little baby pnut was smiling. I am so thankful for this pregnancy and what it has done to our little family.
The most precious thing about it is the Bashman. He has transformed into this baby loving, nurturing mad man. seriously it is beyond precious. He has multiple babies that he changes, feeds, and loves on all day long. he is always rubbing, talking, singing, and kissing baby in mommas belly. I am melting just writing about it. Ever since we told him about baby number two he insisted that it is a girl. whenever he would talk about "baby" it was her, she, my sister. Well the little stinker was right! His little sister will be born sometime mid April and we couldn't be happier! It is kinda scary to think that God has in trusted me with another little human to guide through this crazy beautiful world. It is kinda scary that I will have a girl. when I was pregnant for Bashman I knew just knew that he was a she. When the words "its a boy!" escaped my doctors lips I could not control the water works. A boy?!? What was I going to do with a boy?!? I could not even imagine my life any other way. He has expanded my heart more than I knew possible. Now a girl?! Lets just say I am freaking. Freaking because I know one day we wont get along. One day she is going to be so over her mom. I know this because I was that bratty, snobby, preteen girl once. For that mom, I am so very sorry. But I have a few years till that time so I am trying to push these thoughts/memories far back in my brain. I am enjoying the sights of everything pink, glittery, and leopard. I am loving the over flow of bows, headbands, shoes, tutus, and clothes! I am so excited for the girl toys and dolls. I am so excited to see how Bash and Chase are going to react to this small baby girl. I am just so excited.
So I think I have written more than enough for this first entry on baby number 2, lets just call her baby E. Sorry if my sentences run on or I misspell words or misplace commas. I am not a writer. I am a talker. Thanks for listening to my rambles. till next time. Grow big and strong little E. We cant wait to kiss your little perfect round face.
