OUR BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!!...and our BIG scare!

Yes, the rumor is true! We are expecting Baby #2!!! Woo hoo!!! Brian and I started talking about #2 last summer! Brian would have been happy having them like a year apart I swear but I needed a little more time! We decided to get pregnant in the fall. I don't mean to sound selfish but I was really enjoying my life being a mother of one child at the moment and was just enjoying our one on one time. I kept pushing the months back to when I was ready cuz I just couldn't imagine not having it just be me and Annie anymore! That and after talking to pretty much every one of my frinds with two kids...they said closer to three years apart is a million times better than closer to two years apart for obvious terrible two reasons! ha ha Then it hit me like a load of bricks. I woke up one day and finally felt ready! Just like that! So I thought about it and before we could even say start trying, I had an announcement! It was crazy! Glad that switch flipped when it did! My good friend, Posey had bought me a test as a joke and had me take it at her house one night. The ONLY reason I went foward with it was cuz I SWORE there was no way I could already be pregnant and it was a little early to tell anyway! Didn't matter...after a little persuasion, there it was. A faint positive line. I thought...piece of crap! Posey informed me there are never any false positives so we got a first response and wow...o pretty quick, dark second line for detecting early I must say! We were laughing and freaking out! I was so excited! We tried to keep it from Brian for two weeks till Christmas but ya right, I couldn't do it! I atleast had to tell B! So I told him two days later and decided not to tell our families for a bit. Brian didn't agree and told them that night!!! What a poor sport! ha It was fun to tell though! I am SOOO glad and thankful for how perfect everything turned out! We are very blessed to be able to get pregnant so easy! It came at the most perfect time! I was ready, I am ready and Anaston is very proud she's going to be a big sis!

Now for the scare...I decided not to blog about the baby till I was about through the first trimester! Now that I'm only about a week away from that, I decided it was ok. I'm driving to B's parents house and started losing large amounts of blood very quickly out of nowhere! I freaked out, called Brian and was balling thinking I had a miscarriage! I got to his parents and paged the doc and layed down. I got some advice but had to lay low all weekend and felt like absolute crap till I could find out for sure on Monday! My mom and sis Jade drove me home. I had to lay down in the back of her car! It was nuts! Talk about a long three days to find out whether you're still pregnant or not! It was an awful weekend to say the least but our families were ALOT of help and saved me! Yesterday finally came and I, along with the doctors and nurse after thinking my symptoms didn't sound too good, were extremely suprised and happy to see EVERYTHING was ok! Baby and all it's surroundings! Heart beating fine, etc. It was a huge relief to see that sewwt baby instantly on the moniter with it's heart beating! Dr. Beck is guessing with the placenta growing, it must have been laying on a blood vessel funny and made it burst! Whew! So I'm laying low for the week. I had to get a DEEP Rhogam shot to take precaution with all the blood I lost but everything looks great! I go back in three weeks and will give an update! For now, I am 11 weeks and due August 19! Salads, water, swimming pool, and dresses with flip flops...here I come! I am not nervous at all for a summer pregnancy! I see alot of pluses now actually! I have an excuse to be fat in the summer instead of akward trying to lose baby fat body and get to cover up in winter while I lose my weught! I get to sit in the pool all summer! And my new born wont have to be in the dreadful hot it's first 4 months of it's life! One manth and cooler weather is on it's way! In the future...birthday pool parties! (Something I always wanted with a January birthday!) VERY EXCITING!!!
