, and I cant believe it, it is almost like it hasnt really sunk in yet... I am very excited that I will be having two children to grow up together and be friends. Although, this is the very beginning I have a long way togo. I am hoping to take more pictures of me then I did last time just to see my belly grow.

5/7/08- I took a hpt and it came up positive. My baby Ayden is going to be a big brother!! My husband is excited and nervous too, he really wants a little girl.. (thinkin it will be daddy's girl lol)

5/11/08 Happy Mothers Day :)
We celebrated mothers day last night. Josh made an appointment for me to get my hair done all by myself with no children. He also got me a very nice digital camera, which will be nice for my weekly belly shots and taking 338478962 pictures of my Ayden.

On another note, the crampiness I had felt a few days ago is pretty much gone now. I am still pretty irritable, but the worst is I am hardly sleeping. I went to bed at 1130 last night and got up today at 530 and I dont get to nap during the day. Im the type of person that could sleep til noon if I ever had the chance lol..

6/3/08 Week 8
Nothing very interesting, no morning sickness still, I do get heartburn quite frequently, i spose ill invest in some tums. I do feel tired most of the day and I take a nap too when the kids go down for their daily nap.. lets just say kids that dont want to sleep are in big trouble lol.. when I do sleep it isnt very good sleep, kinda like I am awake thinking about all the stuff that needs to get done, prolly why im so tired..ALso my back has been achy right in the middle...still eating blueberry bagels with peanutbutter and honey about every morning, switched my tea bags to decaff and cut out my pepsi to sprite.. sometimes I still have a few drinks of pepsi... oh oh oh.. I tried my heartbeat thing today and I am pretty sure I was hearing a baby heartbeat and not my own, hubby got to hear it too, very cool.. I just cant wait to see this baby and know what it is!

8/22/08 Week 19
So I havent done a very good job posting week to week about my pregnancy.. oh well... I have taken more pictures of my belly then I did last time though.. I found out 8/20/08 that we are going to have another baby boy! I am excited about that because we move quite a bit and are not around family so hopefully they will be friends. On the ultrasound they found some cerebral fluid in/on his brain they said it most likely isnt a problem but we are going to have a follow up ultrasound and I did some genetic testing blood work.. But I trust that everything will be fine :) I am a little dissapointed that I will not be allowed to go home for Christmas because it is too close to my due date :( Other then that I am almost half way there! I cant wait :)

11/12/08 week 31
Things are going ok at the moment. I am going to be staying with my mom til the baby is born, and possibly til my 6 week checkup I dunno yet. My new baby doctor is Doctor Federer and she wants me to meet at least once with a high risk doctor in Columbus since the baby has a single artery umbilical cord.. after all the ultrasounds that I have already had though, I feel that if she has any worries that another ultrasound showing that the baby is growing is more then sufficient.. I am getting excited about all of the upcomming holidays, getting the bills finally paid, and moving to texas.. I have started buying super cheap summer clothes for the boys since stores have shirts and outfits marked down from 1-5 bucks right now! I also got myself a little part time job for Christmas at the UPS store.. I am so happy that things are looking up!
