Newbaby!

Clearly the 1st trimester is over at the rate I am now blogging. The wind is back in my sails and my mind is awake enough to actually think about the new baby that is on the way!

My due date, after much confusion, has been resolved: April 21. So I will expect a baby on May 5. However, from conversation with my midwife, it's doubtful that they will let us hang out for two weeks post-due date, since I'm trying to not have a C-section this time...I forget all the reasons why. Clearly a second child.

Plus, we had an ultra-sound already! It was a bit distracting, since Heidi was scared about all the things they were doing to mommy so the magical moment was a bit muffled with toddler screams. But it was magical, nonetheless--at only 15 weeks, the baby was harder to see, but like her sister, v. active and jumpy. Here we go.

I'm starting to browse baby-gear again, and daydream about fantastical nursery/girls' room innovations--or maybe a boy's room? That thought just occurred to me. We are going to find out, but the tech and I are fairly certain we are having another girl so I haven't even thought about the design possibilities for a boy...whoa, that just brought on the fatigue.

Remind me to have a purpose when I sit down to blog: oh, here's what it was--I am getting really excited about our second baby!! Not that I wasn't, but you know how it goes; it's hard to remember that sometimes in the throes of chasing the one we have.
