Baby # 2

We moved into our new house on February 26th and just a week later found out I was expecting baby number two. My period was a few days late but I didn't think much of it since we weren't trying and they were sorta all over the place before Brooklyn was born. I decided to go get a test at 11 pm to ease my mind and let me sleep better. So it was quite a surprise when there were two little lines instead of one. I was hesitant and took the second test in the morning that revealed the very clears positive. I was in shock. We had just miscarried in January (another unplanned pregnancy) and here I was pregnant again. Two months later. With the recent series of events I was hesitant if I'd carry this baby past 7 weeks or lose it again. This is my 4th pregnancy and the only successful one we've experienced was with a lot of help from doctors. I made some appointments for blood draws and ultrasounds to make sure things were progressing. At 7 weeks they detected a faint little heartbeat and I started considering this might happen. We might have another healthy baby growing in my tummy. A week later we went back to make sure the beat got stronger which it did! With great relief I then just tried to wait and hope nothing happened. I've been incredibly nauseous and exhausted which as terrible as it feels is a nice reminder that the baby's in there growing and taking all my food and energy haha. I have my first regular appointment Tuesday and I am anxiously waiting to hear that little heartbeat again. And get some reassurance things are well. Babies are such miracles and we couldn't be more thrilled with the news and to watch Brooklyn become a big sister. She's been so sweet to the baby in my belly and already talking to it, singing and trying to show the baby her toys. She'll lift up mommies shirt and say "hi baby in momma belly is me, bookin, I your big sissa" what a blessing she is right?! Let's hope she's just as sweet when this little guy or gal makes their arrival in November! ❤️❤️❤️
