LONG Overdue For An Update!!!! Forgive Me???

Oh my goodness has this blog been neglected! But really, I have good reason for it! There has been a TON on my mind and millions and zillions of things to write about... but I was holding off on posting for one pretty big reason: I'm preggo! Surprise! haha I think half of you know this by now... but for the other half, there ya go!

Sooooooo where to begin? How about 2 months ago when I decided to take that test- I was feeling fine, just thought I should test because I hadn't taken one in awhile and you never know... sure enough it popped up positive. I don't think I slept for the next week. The emotions for this one have been SO different than the emotions I had with Maeve. This time around, instead of having pure excitement, I am really concerned about life with two kids... yikes! I was just getting a handle on being a momma to Maeve... now everything has flip flopped and we've got to learn how to juggle a 2 year old and a newborn. Needless to say it took a LONG time to get adjusted to the big surprise of having another baby.

I am happy to say today was my first OB appointment and everything went BETTER than expected. I am actually measuring 2 weeks ahead (which according to my midwife means I'm either 12 weeks or havin' twins! haha) AND we heard the beautiful sound of a heartbeat- in the 170's. I still don't have an official due date... I have an ultrasound tomorrow morning (tuesday) and they're going to date the pregnancy. SO tomorrow I should be able to say officially when I'm due. Anyways, that's the big news around here! And now I will be able to update you all with my lovely stories of morning sickness and stretch marks! Hopefully you guys will forgive me for abandoning the blog for a few weeks!!!
