Here we go...

Ok, so this Tuesday I should be 5 weeks, according to my records. I've tried getting my due date, but I'm not sure exactly what it is. 40 weeks from the first day of my last period is July 29th; however, all of the sites are giving me different days. Most of the sites are saying August 3rd or 4th, the reason being is that my cycle isn't the normal 28 days, it is 33 days. I'm not sure that it will make a difference in the due date, but according to these sites it does. Well, I'm going to call the doctors office on Monday to make an appointment. I'll see what she says.
Well, I have been very tired lately and extremely hungry. I have been getting so hungry for the last month, even before I knew I was prego. It is horrible, I feel like I'm eating all of the time. Plus, I'm trying to watch what I eat, since with Emma I got put on a carb diet since I had gestational diabetes with her. Of course, I didn't get put on that diet until I was 5 months, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to start it early, plus, I'm hoping it might reduce the baby's size. On my days off, I've been taking naps when Emma is taking hers. I don't remember being this tired this early with Emma. But boy oh boy am I!!!
On top of being tired and hungry, I have a stupid cough and a little bit of a runny nose. Just what I need. And Emma has a runny/stuffy nose. Isn't it weird how she has both, but she does. So far I haven't been sick, which is good!! I hope I can skip being sick this time!! Well, I guess I will have more updating once I make it to the doctors.

Guess what???

This is the shirt that I wore out to my parent's house this afternoon. Yes, you are reading it correctly, I AM PREGNANT!!!!

This morning I got up, peed on a stick and then jumped in the shower. The whole time I was in the shower I was praying my brains out!!! I got out and only saw 1 line, but after I got my contacts in and looked closely there was a faint pink line. I was so excited!!! I jumped onto the bed and woke Matt up. All day I had a huge smile on my face, I was just so happy!! I got home from work and took another test just to be sure, and sure enough it was positive again. I just can't tell you how happy I am!!! It has seemed like an enternity since we started and finally we are prego!!! Anyways, the posting begins. I don't know if I will start with a begining belly pic or not, but I will def post a belly pic when I get a belly. Woo Whoo!!

Playing Catch Up!

Ok, let's see... For like a month, Emma wasn't eating but oatmeal in the morning and then wouldn't sleep all night. I was really getting worried, because she had always been such a good eater and sleeper. Well, finally I had enough and decided to call the doctor's office and talk to the nurse. Well, she talked to the doc and said that it just sounded like normal toddler stuff, but if I wanted to I could come on in. Well, I decided to stick it out a couple days and glad I did. After about 2 days, she started eating 3 meals a day and back to sleeping her 10 hours a night. I was so happy. I took a look in her mouth and she was getting both of her bottom 2 year molars in, so I am chalking it all up to that. Now we have our little Emma back to normal and back into everything!!

I think in the last month or so, Emma has grown mentally so much!! She says so much. When she wants something she will tilt her head to the side and say pa pa pa please. It is just too cute and so hard to say no to. She can now count to 4, can show you the color blue and sings her ABC's. She grown even more affectionate. I thought she was quite loving before, but now she is loving to everything. We will be leaving the store and she will by to the trucks and everything she sees. Whenever I open the fridge she will see her milk and say "hi milk" and give it kisses. It is just so funny. Christmas is gonna be a blast this year!!

Onto baby news, well there isn't baby news yet. I will find out later this week, but I was in at my doctor's office yesterday and she told me that it takes the average woman 12 months to get pregnant. She said I just got lucky with Emma (since it only took us 10 days). We are now in our 6 month of trying, grr. Well, since Emma was such a big baby (9lbs 2oz) she said that she will do an ultrasound at 36 weeks with my next. So, if the baby looks big then that means I will be induced around 38 or 39 weeks. Which is absolutely fine with me, as long as everything looks perfect with the baby. And since 38 weeks is the "safe zone" everything should be fine.

I think that is all the updating for now. I will let everyone know later on this week what the test results are, so keep your fingers crossed!!

Some Pumpkin fun..

Emma and her pumpkin!

Mommy and Emma!

Daddy and Emma carved pumpkins a week ago or so. Well, ok, Daddy carved the pumpkins. Emma helped me separate the seeds so that we could bake them. I don't know what she really thought of it all, she seemed to like it. Everytime she sees a pumpkin now she actually says "pumpkin". She is saying so much now.

Emma can sing a majority of her alphabet. She can sing Patty Cake, Twinkle Twinkle, Old McDonald and The Itsy Bitsy Spider. She also knows the hand motions to them and also to The Wheels on the Bus. It is just too cute!!

She is now sleeping in a toddler bed. We put her into it about a month or so ago. She loves it!! When she wakes up in the morning you hear her run into the living room and then run for our room. She will stand there and say "Mommy?" and then giggle. It is so funny. Emma is just so much fun to have around. We love her so much!!

I will post some pics of her in her costume later.

Yet another month...

and still no luck! I thought getting pregnant the 2nd time around would be easy! We got pregnant with Emma in literally 10 days. We have been trying since the end of June and still no luck! I am starting to get discouraged! I'm just not sure what to do, but I guess like my Mom says "It will happen when it is meant to be". I do realize that she is right, but man oh man I want to be pregnant so bad!!

Here's to Emma...

Today signifies the best 21 months of my life! Today our little Ms. Emma is 21 months old. She is an absolute cutie!! She does so much! She has developed from being a baby to being such a little person. When she ws born I could never image her talking, walking, running or anything that she is doing now. She repeats absolutely everything. We are taking our first steps into potty training too. She will sit on the potty, but doesn't do anything, but she still has to take some toilet paper and wipe herself. She will come up to us and say "I pooped". I think she might end up being an easy one to train, Thank Goodness!! lol

When she wakes up in the morning I can hear her over the monitor saying "Moommmmy, Heeelllllooo?" It is just too cute. When I finally make it into her room she says, "Hi Mommy, how are you?" That has to be her favorite thing to say (How are you). I will tell her good and then ask how she is and of course she responds "good".

I think her favorite foods would have to be, grapes, nummies (bananas) and pizza. We have pizza about once a week or every other week, but boy does she like it. Today I asked if she was hungry and she said "eat pizza". So of course, I made her some pizza and she was as happy as could be.

I just can't put into words how much I love Emma and how much I am amazed by her. I never thought having a baby would be so awesome. She keeps me on my toes and in awe every moment. Here's to you Emma, you are the light of my life and I love you so much!!

Where to begin..

I'm gonna try this blog thing out, but no promises.

Let's see, about our little family. Right now it consists of Me (Sarah), my husband Matt and our wonderful daughter Emma. Matt and I have been married for 2 wonderful years, but have been together for 7. We met in high school, he insists that I cheated off of him in Math, but he is so wrong!! lol
Emma is almost 21 months old. She is the highlight of our lives!! She is so incredible and lovable. I can't believe how much she knows at such a young age. It is just crazy how much she can grasp. She currently in the repeat and monkey see monkey do stage. It is quite funny, but we have to be super careful what we say around her. Right now she can say her ABC's up to G, which I think is absolutely awesome!! I can't even begin to say what all her vocabulary includes, b/c there is just so much. I think her favorite saying would have to be "How are you" and of course "Hi". We will go to the store and she will say hi to the same person several times, even if they already said hi back. I just can't explain how amazing she is.


We are currently trying for baby #2. So far no luck. We have been trying since the end of June. With Emma it literally took us 10 days to conceive and now it is taking what seems to be forever!! I've never tried the basal temperature thing before, but I just might have to try it out before too long.

Anyways, that is just a short story of us. As things happen I will try to remember to post.
