I am pregnant for the second time. I became pregnant once before while on birth control (yes, it really does happen.) But, I had a missed miscarriage in February of 2007. Now I have graduated high school and got married. We decided to try for a baby. We took a late honeymoon and the day we got back I took a pregnancy test and here we are! I found out December 14, 2007 that I was pregnant with a healthy little girl.

My little girl had the hiccups for the first time today! It was the coolest feeling ever! I lifted my t-shirt and started watching my belly shake with each hiccup. So cool....

Friday, 8 Feb

I went to the doctor this week and she is doing fine. She was moving on the u/s and we could even see that she had chubby cheeks :). She weighs 1 pound 14 ounces. I am dreading next months appointment because I have to drink that sweet crap. I am afraid I will puke lol. I can't wait until I actually start to look pregnant. You would think being 6 1/2 months that people could tell no problem, but not here. I am still getting stared at and people are afraid to ask if I am. I was teasing my mom the other day that I would have kept it a secret longer if I would have known I could get away with it for this long lol. Anyway, shes kicking and I am exhausted so I am going to lay in bed until she wears herself out so I can get some sleep.

I went to the doctor last Friday and my little girl weighs 3 pounds even. I had to take that glucose test and I actually liked it lol. So for those of you who still have to do it, it tastes just like orange soda without the carbonation. I thought it would be thick like cough syrup but it wasn't so not worries ladies. Anyway, the baby is gaining weight well and we FINALLY got to see her in 3D. I might be partial, but she is adorable! Her dad had chubby cheeks when he was a baby and hers are definately chubby lol. She does have my nose though and the poor kid has my thighs too. She will hate that when she gets older :). We are happy and healthy above all. I have been having more Braxton Hicks than usual though. I talked to the doctor about it and he said just drink more water and if they get regular than to go in. Hopefully I can hold out a few more weeks. She's a little chunk right now, but I want her to gain some more weight before I actually have her! I want her to be as healthy as possible. Now I have to start going to the doctor every 2 weeks. I'm getting really close and really anxious.....
