My mood while writing this blog: tired!

Hello my lovely friends!

sorry its been so long since my last update, but i've just been so super busy with everything lately it seems. I felt like i ran around non stop during christmas season- only to have it come and go with the blink of an eye!!! We had my sons 2nd b-day the 7th of Dec.. and then my husbands b-day on the 10th and before i knew it Christmas was here.. and then New Years. It feels like Thanksgiving was just yesterday- and now i have a little bit more than a month til Wyatt is here!

Things have been going good- I'm just so tired. My 2 year old son goes non stop from the minute he wakes up, until the minute he goes to bed. He's in this new kick where he only wants me, and no one else- so even when my husband gets home.. it's still just "mommy"

I had a Dr. appointment yesterday and i was so nervous to step on the scale because i seriously stuffed my face every single day with yummy cookies and sweets from all the different places we went for christmas. I was beyond surprised to see i had actually lost a pound since my last visit 2 weeks before. The Dr didnt seem concerned- i told him i had been eating like a pig. So i still have only gained 11 pounds- which is what i think i gained by 12 weeks with my first son!!! I also told him that ive been feeling ALOT of pressure whenever i stand up from a sitting position lately- to the point where i have to sit right back down because it hurts so bad. he told me it was because the baby is getting ready to drop- if he hasnt already- and that its his head pushing on my cervix. he checked and said the baby is head down and "looking good" I have one more apt in 2 weeks, and then switch to every week. I feel like this has all happened so fast- and that i JUST got my BFP.. its crazy.

I aslo had a Dentist appointment yesterday and told her that everytime i brush my teeth my gums bleed- not bad.. but a pretty good amount of blood. I even switched to a soft brush, thinking that would help- but it hasnt. she told me i have a slight case of pregnancy gingivitis. she said it's from all the hormones in your body during pregnancy, and that it will go away after the baby is born. i didnt have this at all with my last pregnancy- so it goes to show that every pregnancy is different.

My mom is having a mini "get together" instead of a full out shower, for me on Feb 7th. I really dont need anything at all, since Charlie was born in Dec. all the clothes we have are the right size/season for when Wyatt is born. Charlie is in a "big boy" bed, so the baby will have the crib and bedding from before. All i need really, is diapers and gift cards- so i didnt think my mom needed to go through all the trouble and money of planning a huge shower like i had last time... if that makes sense.

Well, thats about all thats going on here- I hope all of you had a fantastic Holiday Season!!

All our love,

Amber, Charlie and Wyatt =o)
