And one month later....
It's a BOY!!!!!!
We, especially my hubby, were so surprised! He was convinced it was another girl. We are thrilled and would have been either way. Everything looked great. We are both healthy and everything is right on track. We feel very blessed.
Baby girl is becoming such a big girl. She can repeat almost everything and is just becoming such a young lady. Time is flying and we are a sea of busy and happy. The fact that it is Christmas time and we are enjoying our little girl AND the little boy growing in my tummy is amazing. My life has really come full circle.
I would like to say I will post again soon...but....yeah. I'll try to post again. At some point. :-)

8 More Days
This pregnancy is speeding by! It's been very uneventful so far and I am very grateful for that. I'm 19 weeks tomorrow and I have the "big" ultrasound in 8 days! I can't wait to find out if it is a boy or a girl!
My pregnancy has been pretty easy. Very little morning sickness in the beginning, no weight gain, excellent blood pressure. Yay! This little one is very different from my little girl. I felt constant movement from her, starting at exactly 16 weeks and from every day after. I've only felt very slight movement a couple of times from this baby. I'm wondering if maybe I have an anterior placenta that is blocking movement? Maybe this is just a laid back baby. :-)
I AM tired, but I think that has more to do with the fact that I have a very active 14 1/2 month old. How could I not be tired? I think that is the name of the game for the next couple of years at least. Oh well, I'm lucky to be sleep deprived. :-)
I better end this before Baby Girl wakes from her nap! I'll update after my ultrasound!

I Suck
You would think I could update a little more then this! I don't know how the mommy bloggers do it. I can barely get in on the computer anymore for more then two minutes at a time. I do almost all my checking on my phone now and blogger won't let me post from there. :-p Blah, blah, blah, excuse, excuse. Suffice to say, I suck.
On the pregnancy front everything is fine and dandy. I will be 14 weeks (!) tomorrow. We had our NT scan and everything has come back with very high odds of things being perfect and normal. Yay! I still haven't wrapped my brain around this really happening again, but am hopeful that everything is going to work out great.
I have a new OB from my last pg and it is going SO much better! Wish I would have gone to him the first time around. I still have blood pressure issues (turns out it is chronic, not pregnancy related), but I am on a pg friendly dose of meds and my blood pressure is now a lovely 100/60. Yay!
In other news my little girl is now 13 1/2 months! My gosh how time flies! She is becoming such a little person. More words every day. She is sweet and charming, along with her share of tantrums thrown in the mix. She is my little angel.
I think in my last post I talked about night weaning? We ended up having some major breastfeeding problems. I don't know if it was from being pg, her teeth, or a combo of both, but I ended up with massive, deep sores on my n*pples. So as of last Friday morning she is officially fully weaned. She still wants to nurse at night, but it is getting better and I think she is starting to understand that we don't do that anymore. I have such mixed feelings. I know it needed to happen. I was in so much pain. Still, it makes me sad to not have that bonding time with her anymore. Sigh.
That's all for now. I will TRY to post updates more often.

Patience is not my thing...
Thank you ladies for your congrats! You are always there for me.
So, I called the OB (a new one from last time), and they don't want to see me until I am 10 weeks! AHHH! That is 5 more weeks from now. How will I survive that? I'm trying to go with the flow, but it is hard not knowing what is going on. I just pray everything is okay.
Evidently I now am an the "fertile" category and I will absolutely never feel fertile. Aww, to be blissfully unaware! I just recently had a "social network" friend announce on said site that she was pregnant right after she took the test. Really? I mean, good for her, I guess. It would be nice to be so sure. Other then my mom and you ladies, nobody is going to know until after my appointment at the earliest.
I hate this beginning stage where you don't really feel pregnant and you certainly don't look it. It's so hard not to be nervous. I'm feeling a bit bloated and just slightly nauseated. I guess I'll cling to that for now. And half a dozen pee sticks.
On the Mama front, my little girl still nurses all night long. We started co-sleeping at 4 months when I was literally getting up 10+ times a night. Now I am desperate to night wean her and get her into her crib. I don't believe it cry it out. Any suggestions? I am so desperately sleep deprived.

A Year Later
***If you are in the IF trenches and having a tough day, please note there is potentially sensitive news below***
Wow! It has been almost a year since I last posted. I am certain that no one checks this anymore. I have been busy with all things baby and mothering. It has been a whirlwind year and I have loved being a Mama to my little girl. I can't believe she is almost a year old!
My "baby" started walking at 8 1/2 months! (!!!) She loves music and dancing. Loves her dogs. She is starting to talk. Right now she can say, "Mama", "Dada", "Dog", "Eyes", "No", "Uh-Oh" and sometimes mimics a few others. She is so sweet and funny. She STILL doesn't even come close to sleeping through the night and I adore her. :)
This last Thursday something happened that I would have never been able to imagine. Not even in my wildest dreams. I'm stunned. Stunned! I got a surprise + pg test!
Without giving massive TMI, this has got to be a one in a million shot. I'm shocked. (Did I mention that?). It happened in exactly the kind of way that would have so pissed me off back in my IF days if I heard someone got "surprise" pg. I am shocked, humbled and thrilled. Of course I am also scared. I wouldn't be me if I wasn't. I haven't seen or called a Dr. yet. I think I'm a day or two from being 5 weeks so I have a long way to go. I pray that everything works out.
Can you believe it? I am just so shocked (I know, I know)! I really, really want this! If you pray and wouldn't mind sending one up for me I would appreciate it. God is good.
I hope to post more often. I would love to chronicle this pg too. (How's that for being positive?) I hope everyone out there is well. We've missed you.
