For Mother's Day, Two

Faintly positive EPTs as of yesterday evening and this morning. I am going to the doctor's ASAP to confirm, but from the way that I have been feeling the past few days, my hopes are pretty high. Why am I announcing so early? Well, for one, I think that like 2 people read my blog, and if things were to go wrong, I would want to talk about it.

I have some things to think about. First on the list of things that I can immediately do to help my sea monkey is make yesterday's my last cup of coffee for a long while. No more ridiculous amounts of candy, either (those who know me know that I generally can polish off a bag of Good and Plentys daily).

I want to be healthier this time than I was last time. When I was pregnant with Lea, I gained close to 60 lbs. I had so many people telling me in the start that I was too skinny and unhealthy looking that I quickly developed the habit of overeating. The weight made me hurt in horrible ways and it was a bitch to lose. I will be happy if I gain 30 lbs (give or take)this go around. I will not obsess over not gaining weight, but I am not going to stuff myself "for the baby". It's really not good for anyone.

I have a little one who just woke up, so I will leave off here. If you pray, please send a prayer our way. Happy Mother's Day to you moms.

  3. Hey, we just got internet back up, I am glad to see that you are doing well in Germany. I didn't even know that you had left and didn't get to say goodbye. I know Lea was sick though and it was a lot to think about for you. I miss you guys so much and think about you often. I am so happy for you being pregnant again! How exciting!!! Well I hope that this finds you well... Brittney
