The dr’s visit went well today. I played as clueless as I could about the date of my last period. I really am unsure, but I was thinking it was one of two Sundays. ANYWAY. It was enough to convince the nurse practitioner to give me an ultrasound. Yay! AND I get another one in two weeks. The tentative due date right now is November 26, only 6 days after Emma’s birthday. And Emma was early. I know every pregnancy is different, but it’s definitely possible they have the same birthday and also possible we have a Turkey baby. Not good. They took lots of blood today and that’s what they want to go over in two weeks when I’m there. No more nausea since Friday. My stomach is finally all better from that yucky virus. This pregnancy is so different already. I feel so unprepared. Last time, I walked in the dr’s office with 3 months worth of temp charts and knew exactly the day I would be due already. I already had a name picked out and was ready. This time, I feel sort of taken by surprise, no due date, no names picked out. It’s just a weird feeling. One thing that I really don’t want to be different with the second is how many pictures I take. Mom always says the second one never gets any pictures and if they do, it’s with the first. I really want to try to take lots of pictures of the new baby too. As far as baby names, we are still kicking around Vance Montgomery from the first time around for a boy and are SO clueless on girls. Neither of us have any idea. I know we have plenty of time though!
Congrats on the pregnancy! Looks like you and I are once again having near-parellel pregnancies. Whereas with Emma you were 3 months ahead of me, this time I’m 3 months ahead of you!
We found out yesterday we are having a boy this time around – and what’s funny is that we had chosen the GIRL’S name, but have no clue as to a boy’s name…
It’s quite ironic isn’t it?? That’s so cool you are having a boy!! That’s what we are hoping for. Of course, I love my little girl and would be perfectly happy with another one!
