Expanding Family

I know I wrote about this before, but I can't find it anywhere. So I guess I'll do it again.

Since Elizabeth turned 1 in June, Randy & I talked about having another baby. We wanted to have the baby close in age to Elizabeth.

Anthony & Sean 14months apart. Sean & Riley 4yrs apart. Riley & Elizabeth are 5 1/2yrs apart.

August 11, 2011 I was in a lot of pain & was bleeding really heavy. I had been bleeding heavy for 2days. The pain came that morning. Aug 12 went to my Drs & my suspicion was confirmed, I was having a miscarriage. (My blog titled Aug 12, 2011 talks about this)
I was hurting, but knew that God had a different plan for His special child.

Nov was my yearly check up & my Dr noticed my uterus was slightly enlarged, so he ordered an ultrasound just to make sure things are ok. The following Fri Nov 11, was my ultrasound. Mon my Dr called me. He told me there was nothing inside the uterus but I had some cysts & my uterus was tilted. He then said it was tilted that having another baby would be slim would probably take awhile. My thoughts "Oh ok took awhile to get Elizabeth." My feelings disappointed.

Between Oct & Dec 2011 I knew 3people who were having little girls, so I went through all my girl clothes & divided it into 4, the 3 & me. Shortly after my niece was born in Dec I just kept saying to myself "Just give it all away. You're not gonna.need it. & give all boy clothes away too." (I had saved 3bins of boy clothes from birth to 3yrs). I said something to Randy he said "are you sure?" I was like "Yup it's not gonna happen. Might as well make room for other things." Well I didn't do anything with the clothes.
Shortly after that I watched my new niece while my sister-in-law went back to work. Seeing how Elizabeth was with the baby & the boys & of coarse Randy, it got me thinking "We do need to bring a new baby into this word." So I asked Randy "You wanna do this again? Have another?" He said yes (little did we know 1 was growing inside me)
The next wk I was so tired & started to feel sick. I was thinking my stomach issues were flairing up again (had been since Sep) That following Tue while Randy & I were at dinner I was talking to him about how I was feeling. He said "Maybe you're pregnant." You know I was a wk late so good chance I was.

Wednesday January 25, 2012 We found out I was indeed pregnant. I just loved the look on Randy's face when he saw it was positive. Made me even more happier.
I did the calculations & the due date was around my Mom's Birthday August 30, 2012. Oh that made me so happy.
A dream I had while pregnant with Elizabeth, I dreamt I had a baby on her Birthday. Went to the Dr that Fri. He was even excited for us.
We waited til after my Feb appt to tell people. A few were excited/happy for us & a few others were like "Oh really? Wow." I think those weren't to sure what to think. But then I did get a few who were kinda negative "I thought you were done?" "Now you're done after this right?" "I thought 1of you 2 were fixed. You're gonna get fixed after this 1right?"
But you know what.. they all don't matter. What matters is how Randy & I feel & our boys (EJ to little to understand) I'm excited & a little scared/nervous. Randy is excited. The boys are excited. Anthony is already rubbing my belly & kissing it (even though the baby isn't that high yet but would rather him rub & kiss there then where the actually baby is at)
It's sad that people questioned Randy's feelings. Almost like they didn't believe me he was Happy. I just say "You had to be there to see his reaction to know he was Happy." But then I started to feel like he wasn't happy/excited like I was, but then I tell myself "remember the look on his face?" Then the feelings go away.

We talked & we were gonna find out what we were having but not say anything til the baby was born. Well a few family (both sides) didn't like that idea. So I guess we'll tell family.

My ultrasound was March 30, 2012 18wks. After the appt had a few text wondering what it was. Well the baby didn't show us so we have No idea what it is. This coming Mon I'll find out if I'll get another ultrasound. The didn't see all 4chambers of.the heart so more them likely I'll have another 1 done.

So I am 21wks along. I had bad morning sickness, just like with Elizabeth. Right now have pains my ligaments, thighs, hips, lower back & every now & then feel contractions which I was told was normal.
The babies movements are harder & more noticeable then before. I can't wait for Randy & the boys to be able to.feel the movements & what Elizabeth's reaction will be towards mommy's tummy moving.

Anyways it's late so I'm going to go. I was half way through this when my web crashed & phone froze so I had to go back & write what didn't get saved. I knew if I didn't now I'd forget.

Oh yeah.. Randy says it's a Boy, Anthony says Girl, Sean says Girl, Riley says Boy, I'd like another girl but I think it'll be a Boy
