Our Big Announcement
We are finally making our big news public. We're expecting our second baby! We are all really excited and Ryan is quite unaware of what's going on, although we do tell him about it. He's too young to understand I guess. The baby is due March 29, 2008. I'm hoping to have it around 38 weeks. I am currently 12 weeks pregnant and looking forward to the first trimester being over. I haven't been really sick, so I'm lucky that way. I have been quite tired so it's been nice that I only work in the mornings, I sometimes sneak in a nap while Ryan is down for his.
My blood-sugar has been excellent (14 day avg. 118, A1C 5.9). I've already been to the OB twice as well as the Diabetic Specialist. Both doctors are happy with the way things are going. We had the baby's heart rate measured today and it was 155 beats per minute, exactly the same as what Ryan's was at this point in the pregnancy. Colin thinks the baby is a boy because there are some obvious similarities with the two pregnancies, (lots of night-time nausea, hyper sense of smell etc.). I'm still holding out hope for a girl. We cannot decide on a name for a girl yet. I really want it to end in an "n" or even "an" to go along with the rest of the family. We know the girl's middle name (even though that took quite a lot of arm-twisting on my part). For a boy, we have a first name picked out and a possible contender for middle names. We have an easy time thinking of boy names I guess. And that is the run-down so far. I'll be sure to blog about this pregnancy as I get info in.
Well, here's the first ultrasound image taken three weeks ago at 8 weeks 4 days pregnant.
