A few weeks ago, I quietly threw out there the fact that I was pregnant again. Most of you seem to have picked that up. However, I decided to do a proper post about it in case anyone didn't catch it. Well, actually I am doing a post because tomorrow is my 20 week ultra sound and we will be finding out this time what the sex of the baby is. :)

Most of the time I am so busy with Maddie that I honestly forget I am pregnant again. Then other times, it is very obvious... because of being so tired, or irritable, or whatever the symptom might be. The funny thing is that I knew right away this time that I was pregnant. All the symptoms happened right away!! Symptoms like heartburn that I did not feel until the very end of my pregnancy the last time. (BTW, the baby is in there moving around a ton... it is like it knows I am talking about it or something, haha)

I remember telling my BFF at her Mardi Gras party that I thought I might be pregnant again. She told me she had some tests and I could go take one. I told her No because it was a week before my missed period even. And with Maddie I tested negative until the day after my missed period. Even the day and two after the line was VERY faint pink. So, I didn't want to waste the test. And now that we were watching money, I didn't want to buy any until after my missed period. However, in the next couple days the symptoms got SO much more prevalent. I finally put that box of tests in my cart at Target. I got the double pack. Decided I would take one that night- knowing it would be negative, and then have the one in a week after my missed period. WELL, lo and behold, when I took that test that night, it was a blazing red line!! The funny thing is, that with Maddie's test, I had to set it down and wait to see the line. With this test, as the pee went up the stick, I could already tell that two lines were forming. Yikes! I still set it down on the tub and waited the 5 minutes to be sure. :) Sure enough.. blazing red.

You know they always say with your second baby you do not take nearly as much pictures and stuff. WELL, I HAVE to brag that I am proud that this baby already has one over Maddie. I took a pic of the test for this pregnancy, and I never did for Maddies. I will come back and edit this post later to add the picture. I am on the laptop and all my pics are on my Mac.

So fast forward to today, I am already half-way through this pregnancy and it is amazing to me how fast it is going. If I remember correctly the first time (which wasn't all that long ago, haha) that it was the first half that seemed to take so long. The second half went much faster. And I assume it will this time too. After all, we just have to get through the summertime. We have plenty of camping trips and Maddie's first birthday to keep us busy until the date arrives!

SO, tomorrow is the day... Please think BLUE for us so we can have our complete little family of a boy and girl. Not that it matters to us either way, but it would be very nice to have one of each! :)
