Yesterday we went for our fetal assessment scan. Because I have been so sick, there were days I wasn't able to take and/or keep down my prenatal vitamins. Therefore, I have been terrified for weeks that the baby wouldn't be healthy. I wasn't worried about Weston's ultrasound, but this baby has been different. He or she is perfectly healthy. Everything measured well and looked great. Praise God! That made me a very happy mama!
I will be 21 weeks on Friday and I am due on August 24th. We do not know if we are having a boy or a girl. We didn't find out with Weston either. I have documented how much I would like a girl, since I already have a boy, but if I have another boy, I don't have a doubt in my mind I will love it like crazy.
When you have an older child, you don't need as much "stuff" as you need when you are pregnant with the first one. When I was pregnant with Weston, I was dragging Doug with regular frequency 45 minutes each way to the closest Babies R Us from about 8 weeks on. Of course, now that we have a Babies R Us 10 minutes away, I've only been once. With this pregnancy, I didn't feel like it for a while and since I have felt better, I've found better things to do than be sucked into the baby store. Because we didn't know what gender we were having the first time, we bought a lot of gender neutral things. We plan to re-use Weston's car seat/stroller combo, swing, bouncer, pack n play and crib. Those are the big items that cost so much the first time around.
Congratulations!!
