Just a cute picture I took of Chels last night.I know the first trimester drags by for anyone who has ever been pregnant. And it has for me too. It seems like Dec. 29 was about a year ago! (that's the day I got my positive pregnancy test) But, thankfully, today is my first official day of my second trimester. I have a Dr. appt. on Thursday where I will hopefully schedule my Nuchal Translucency test (which is basically just a really detailed ultrasound to measure the neck to determine the liklihood the baby has downs syndrome or not). Since I'm assuming I won't be able to get an appt. with the ultrasound tech for a week or two from Thursday I will be 15-16 weeks when I have this test done and my hope is they will be able to make a guess on the gender! I am so glad I wasn't alive 50 years ago having babies because just the 4-5 months of waiting to find out kills me!
I don't have any belly pictures to show yet. Sorry. I honestly don't think my belly has grown yet at all. I feel like I'm bigger but I haven't gained any weight and my stomach is still measuring the exact same. So I'm still waiting for that day when I wake up and I have a cute little belly staring back at me! It took me a long time to show with Chels' pregnancy too. But once I started showing I was HUGE!
I have been thinking about the upcoming arrival of our new baby and it's kind of been scaring me! I can now totally understand why people choose to have their babies close together. It's weird to think I'll be changing diapers again when I haven't changed a diaper for well over a year now. I'll be getting up in the middle of the night again, and feeding the baby whether through a bottle or nursing. It's just weird for me to think we'll be starting all over again. Chels is so independent now and we'll be going back to the first when a helpless little baby will be totally dependent on me. I think I'm more scared to have a newborn this time then I was when I was pregnancy with Chels, because now I know all it intells. But I couldn't be more happy. I am so excited for the new baby to come. I'll just have to brush off my newborn parenting skills once again!

OMG! I cannot believe you are already in your 2nd trimester! It seems like you just announced your pregnancy! That's so exciting! And I'm sure Chelsea will be a great help as a new big sister! So she can help change a diaper or two! haha
Oh I wish I was close enough I'd let you borrow my baby and practice anytime you want!
