Twig looks great. Heartbeat of 128 bpm, measuring 6 weeks 5 days (so I was a couple days off). Which makes me due on Johnny's birthday!!! Which is great, because (and this is according to John) the baby won't be born that day. He doesn't mind sharing his birthday with our son/daughter, but wants he/she to have his/her own special day. (Sidenote: cannot WAIT till I can just say "he" or "she" instead of this he/she business).
First prenatal appointment is March 11. Hopefully it's with Dr. Axelrod. I feel like we know him well since he delivered PJ and all. Of course, any of the others is great too (except the flaky one, who's name I won't even attempt to spell).
Such a relief to know all is good with the little one inside. I bet October is gonna be here in no time!
The O'Gs. No, not the Original Gangstas. But close.

So the Commander is out.
We went to test drive a Commander last night, and as predicted, John didn't like it. I knew he wouldn't but I obliged his need to check it out. We found a Grand Cherokee we like and are going to (hopefully) buy it on Saturday. By the way, have I mentioned Saturday is the busiest. day. ever. Car in the morning, two children's birthday parties, then dinner for Blair's 30th. CRAZY.
I fell in the parking lot today and really hurt my tailbone. I am sure Twig is okay, but you always worry about that. My tailbone is hurting something fierce though.
Oh and have I mentioned that I am STARVING. I mean, not just oh I need a snack, full on starving. And I've decided Mexican is the way to go -- for lunch AND dinner. :)

1st tri sucks
Today was a particularly nauseous day. It was super duper bad earlier, I am feeling a bit better now after lunch. And of course, dry heaving is no fun.
Things I am looking forward to:
1. Seeing Twig's HB on Thursday.
2. Hearing Twig's HB at the 12 week appt.
3. Not dry heaving anymore.
4. Feeling the first movement, flutter, etc.
5. Having a belly. I love having that roundess.
6. Wearing the cute summer maternity clothes I got because that means it's not winter anymore!
7. Seeing PJ's reaction to my belly.
That's just some of them. We'd be here for days if I listed them all.

6 weeks, 4 days?
Maybe. I'll find out for sure on Thursday! My first ultrasound is Thursday morning at 9 a.m. I hate this one though, because I have to drink 32 ounces of water and not pee. I think I usually only drink about 20 because I seriously cannot hold it that long. It's excruciating. But luckily it shouldn't take that long -- but I'll get to see the heartbeat. Yay!!!
Poor little PJ is still having sleeping issues. He wakes up around midnight then around 3, and it seems he'll only settle down if he's laying in our bed, which is a problem. I know I need to stop doing that, but it's hard when I am so damn exhausted. Tonight, I am going to try and get him to go back into his own bed. I just can't bear to hear him cry. I am hoping now that he's gonna be on whole milk, it might help him to sleep better.

Cruising along
Poor PJ is sick. Has a fever since Sunday. I stayed home with him yesterday, John today. Hopefully he can go back to the sitter tomorrow, otherwise I'll be staying home with him again. But he's still his happy self most of the time, so that's good.
I'm feeling okay -- have to go get a third and final beta test. The first one was so early the HCG was only 105, but then it went up to 1692 just 5 days later. Since i have to be at least 6 weeks before I can get an ultrasound or the doctor can tell I am pregnant, I am going to get one more on Saturday and then we should have our first appointment and ultrasound. Unfortunately, this is the u/s where I have to drink all the water and not pee, and it's so hard and painful for me to hold my pee for that long. But at least the doctor's office is understanding about this and usually tries to get me in right away so I can relieve myself! :)
Anyway, I think I'll be 6 weeks on Thursday. I am not putting up a ticker or anything till I get the due date from the doctor, because with PJ I was 5 days off, so I'd rather wait till I get the info from the ultrasound. We told my SIL on Sunday and she was so excited. She seriously had one of the best reactions ever!!
Two under two!!!

Week 4, Day 2
So the nausea is hanging around, I'm just waiting for it to be full blown morning sickness. Going to get a beta test done at the doctor tomorrow, then again on Monday to see about how far along I might be -- in case it's different since I'm still nursing.
So excited to be able to have another wonderful baby in our family. :)

2 Under 2 HERE WE COME!
YUP!!! BFP!!! Tuesday night we were eating dinner, and John goes:
"You know, you might as well just pee on a stick tonight."
"Really? I can."
"Yeah, why wait till morning? Then you'll be rushing."
So we finished eating dinner and I went to pee on a stick -- well pee in a cup, to insert the stick into, because lord knows I am NOT coordinated enough to actually pee on the stick without peeing all over my hands. PJ and I went to talk to John in the kitchen.
Go back in the bathroom. Still an hourglass. Wait a few seconds. Back to the kitchen.
Repeat.
Repeat -- wait. OH MY GOD. It says PREGNANT. PREGNANT. Really? I could not believe it. I mean I wanted it, but I was shocked it happened so fast. John kept saying, "the 'not' just hasn't shown up yet. I just kept staring at it so excited.
"PJ!! You're gonna be a big brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And we have a crawler/cruiser! and we're 12 DPO
So all in the same weekend, PJ decided he wanted to start cruising -- AND crawling on all fours! Funny that when he's about to get ready to start walking he decides he wants to crawl on all fours, but that's okay. I was perfectly content with him skipping crawling and going right on to walking but now it looks like we have a multiple mode transportation PJ on our hands! :)
So I get to POAS on Wednesday. I am soooo anxious. I still feel nauseous, but it could just be coincidence. I've already starting giving myself reason to be glad if it's a BFN. I'll accrue more vacation time. I'll be able to go back to work in end of January instead of right after the holidays. Etc, etc. Wednesday can't come soon enough for me!!
We saw little miss Raewyn last night, and she's just so tiny and little and new. You forget how little your baby was when they've gotten so big and independent. It's easy to forget how there was time where when I put PJ down, he was exactly where I left him when I got back. There was a time when his cry was so little and that was the only noises he made really. And of course there was the time where my boobs were so huge I thought I was going to keep over from the extra weight in front.
But I want it all back. Every second of it.
