Guess what....:)

Well, I have been super bad blogger lately. I didn't have my compuer for 2 weeks which was so crazy to me, but it was actually a nice little "break" from my obsession! Plus, I have been tired, no energy, etc. etc. because I am PREGGO with number 2!!! So, I guess that is a pretty good reason, huh?

So, I am 10 1/2 weeks pregnant with a due date of March 12, 2010. We were really wanting a spring baby, so this works out just perfectly! I have had a little bit of a bumpy road so far, but now everything looks good (so hesitant to write that!) so I thought I would announce it to the blog world!

I found out like 5 days before I missed my period - anyone that knows me well knows that I am obsessive over HPT (Home Pregnancy tests, for you newbies!) and I always try to find out as soon as possible! So, I got a positive when I was barely 4 weeks pregnant. That sure makes the time go by slowly when you find out that early, but oh well! I had all of my hormones checked (with Addyson I had low progesterone, which can cause miscarriages) and all of that looked good. She wasn't going to check my levels again for like 3 more weeks and I asked if I could check them again in a week and she said okay! Not that I am a fan of getting blood done, it's actually one of my very least favorite things. So, when she re-checked it, my progesterone had gone down to like 11.2 and it has to be at an 11 to sustain the pregnancy. So, I started on injections that I have to get once a week for 12 weeks. That's been fun! But again, you do what you have to do!

So, then at 7 weeks I had my first sono and everything looked good, I thought! We left for Colorado the next day and on the following Wednesday I got a call from the doctor saying she had been trying to get in touch with me and leaving messages at my house. I was like, Well, I'm in Colorado this week! So, she said Dr. C was looking at my sono and noticed that I had 2 small tears in the placenta and that I needed to be on modified bed rest for 3 weeks. Nice- I had just hiked up Mount Crested Butte the day before, carried 34 lb Addyson through DFW airport for 30 minutes running to our gate, etc. Not good ideas for the torn placenta! So, no more carrying Addyson, no more being on my feet a lot, no more standing for long periods of time, just rest. Hence my fun Colorado trip- I couldn't do anything!! But again, you do what you have to do when you are pregnant!

I also was supposed to go to Miami for a week for my sales meeting and I wasn't able to travel due to this as well. Last Friday I went in for another sono to check things out and everything had healed! Yea! I am back to business as usual! :) Although looking back it was kind of nice to be like, I can't clean house, go grocery shopping, etc and I just had to lay around! What was I complaining about??? :)

Addyson has been super sweet about all of this and is VERY excited (for now!) to have a new baby at the house. She kisses my tummy about 500 times a day and is constantly talking about the baby and how she wants to help. Tonight she said- "Mom, when the baby gets here I am going to give it a bath, change it's diaper, give it a bottle and then do TICKLE MONSTER on it!" as she laughed really hard! I said- Okay!! I really do think she'll be a good helper- she's very motherly!

So far I've been craving any kind of fruit! I was up at 3:30 AM the other morning eating Watermelon and that always sounds good to me! So, that's better than hot fudge sundaes that I was wanting last time. The other day we took Addyson to get ice cream and I didn't even want any! That is super weird for me! Oh, and Chicken Mini's at Chick-Fil-A- mmmmmm! I was so mad today I got there at 10:33 and they were out! Darn!

Anyways, that is it for now! I'll keep you all posted as things progress!
