!!$#%^&$!!

I keep wavering on whether or not to share some news we recently got, and I figure not a whole lot of people read this blog anyway, so what the hey.  Baby #2 is in the oven!  Please be discreet on FB and other such sites, until we're through the first trimester.

We found out Saturday, August 21.  I had high post ovulation temps for 12 days, and my normal luteal phase is about 12 days, so I took a test in the middle of the afternoon and was happy to see two beautiful pink lines!  After two previous stark white negatives, those two pink lines were day-making.  =)

So anyway, I'm just barely pregnant.  My first appointment was yesterday, and everything looks great.  I asked the sonographer, "It's a boy, right?"  lol...I was 4 weeks 4 days along at that point.  =D  I am thinking due to the timing of intercourse, it may be a boy.  I hope so!

I'm due, according to my LMP, on April 29, 2011.  However, I ovulated on day 18 of my cycle rather than day 14, so I'm thinking May 3 is more like it.  The best part?  My brother in law is graduating high school on May 8, 2011!  My poor in laws, lol.  I'm assuming I'll go a week early, since we will be scheduling a repeat c-section this time around (no judgments, please, I've weighed the risks carefully with my husband and my healthcare provider, and have decided that a VBAC is just not worth the risks), I'll have a little more control over when baby comes rather than laboring for over 30 hours last time around.  I'd really like to keep the little bun in there as close to 40 weeks as possible, but I recall what it's like being 38 weeks pregnant (I went all the way to 41 last time!), so we'll see what the OB thinks the closer we get.  I'll also have 2 under 2 for almost a WHOLE MONTH!  lol  I think I can take it.

So!  In all of my spare time, I've of course been obsessing online over every thing pregnancy related.  Message boards, web sites...all things baby!  I remember that this is exactly how I was last time around, only this time I have time and experience on my side.  =)

Almost time for the tot to get up.  More updates to come!
