Some stages of my growing belly!

I am pregnant with boy number two. I am due April 7th. My doctor is telling me I will deliver early. So I am thinking an Easter baby if I even make it that far. I have an almost 5 year old boy now, who is very excited.

Just a little bit about my first pregnancy...My AFP test came back twice high. That was very scary because my husbands sister has Spina Bifida. I went through a detailed Ultra and I got the Amino done. Everything was fine. I was told that my belly was measuring small about 28/30 weeks and I had to go for another Ultrasound. The baby was the right size. I am 6ft tall and skinny. (well was) so I have a long torso for the baby to hide in. I was put on full bedrest at 32 weeks because they found out I was already dialated. Every week after that I was another cenimeter dialated. I was taken off bedrest at 34 weeks because they said if I have the baby at that point they won't stop it. I made it to 38 weeks. My water broke at 9am on MEMORIAL DAY (thank God everyone was home, LOL). I started having contractions 15mins later and when I got to the hospital they said I was 7 cen and they could make me 10 if I wanted to start pushing. HA HA HA Well I pushed for an hour AFTER I got my meds and he was born at 1:34pm. So not a long labor at all

My doctor tells me I won't be in labor more then 20 mins which really scares me. We live about 20 mins from the hospital. She said I will sneeze and he will come out. Needless to say I actually try NOT to sneeze now. LOL I was taken off of work because of how far down the baby is. I am taking it day by day. Something I don't remember with my first is the baby kicking in my crouch so much and being able to feel it. Also, my pelvis hurting just crossing my legs is getting old.

A little bit about my family and I. My husband and I got married when my son was 1yr old. My husband was in the Army at that time and he served a year in Iraq. Now that he is out of the Army we moved back to our home state MD from TX. We bought our first house in November of '06. I was working at the MVA and he now works for SSA. We are very excited about this new baby coming and it feels like we are starting all over. For now that's about all I will write...
