Surprise!

Oh baby baby! Baby Lude number 2 is on the way.  I knew there was a small chance we could be pregnant but hadn't thought too much about it.  My period was already a few days late but this had not been uncommon since having Bran.  But deep down I think I just felt a little different.  As a matter of fact in hindsight I had had some spotting (which once again not unusual since having Bran) that must have been implantation bleeding. And my "period" symptoms were just a little more intense.  And the slight nauseated feeling lingering around was what really threw me.  Wednesday evening I mentioned to Joe I thought I could be pregnant, but was convinced as soon as I peed on a stick I'd start my period.  He suggested waiting until Friday or Saturday to take a test then if I was unsure. Thursday morning we were both getting up early to go to work.  After having to eat pretzels before going to bed Wednesday evening, I knew I needed to take a test.

Joe had already snoozed his alarm a couple times, so when the big "Pregnant" quickly popped up, I opened the door, waved the pregnancy test, and said so what do you think it says?!  To which his reply was "pregnant" and "wow that was fast".

So based on my last period I am officially 5 weeks pregnant today.  I called to make an appointment with my OB and we'll go in a couple weeks for an ultrasound (the same day Bran has his 18 month check up).  I feel calmer this time around because I know what we are getting into.  I also feel a little nervous because I know what we are getting into lol.  I am excited and sad for Bran to be a big brother all at the same time.  I just have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that he won't be the baby anymore.  My last pregnancy flew by, and I feel like this one is going to go by even faster.  I am going to try to cherish this time, because in the blink of an eye everything will be different. I think I am most excited to feel baby kicks again!
