Michael, Karis, and I are excited to add a new member to our family. His or her estimated due date is December 13, 2012.
Ultrasound at 5 weeks The baby is hardly big enough to see. |
Q: Was this planned!? A: Yes. Michael and I both enjoyed growing up with siblings close in age, so we thought we'd plan our family the same way.
Q: Aren't you breastfeeding? I thought you couldn't get pregnant? A: Some women don't start their menstrual cycle while breastfeeding, and therefore, they can't get pregnant. Once I dropped Karis's night time feeding, I started my cycle and was able to get pregnant.
Q: How far apart will Karis and baby be? A: 17 months
Q: How are you feeling? A: Great! I had a lot of nausea at the beginning, but no throwing up. I also had some cramping from a cyst, but I hardly notice it now.
Q: Are you crazy? A: Of course! :) Anyone who knows me well knows that I love children, and I've always dreamed of raising my own. It will be hard at first, but it will be fun. Plus, we are very blessed with a lot of support from family, friends, and our community. Also, once our kids are in school, I look forward to going back to teaching.
Ultrasound at 9 Weeks and 4 Days |
It's different because during the first trimester with Karis I had no appetite. This time, I'm always hungry and craving anything with cheese (nachos mostly). With Karis I threw up a lot in the mornings, but I haven't experienced that yet.
Here we go again...
