We Have News!!!!

Well its been a long time coming but JV and I are finally going to add another precious baby to our family!!! We are so so so excited.  My due date right now is some time in January, around the 23^rd, but they keep changing it so we will see.

 I found out the day after Mother’s day (another weird coincidence, I found out I was pregnant with Aly on Oct. 27^th which was the day after mom died and then with this one the day after mothers day, its nice to have an angel looking out for me!)

 

I have had a very different pregnancy this time compared to last. I was sick from about week 3 till 14, just about everyday. I still am sometimes but it is much better. The sleepiness wasn’t as bad this first trimester though. I’ve had the same sinus issues as last time, but I have been using peppermint oil and that has really been helping.

Right now I am 20 weeks, ½ way there! We have decided to find out what we are having for a few reasons. Aly was really against the idea of having a brother and I was really worried that if she came to the hospital to meet her new brother she would be disappointed and with her age, I really didn’t want her to remember it that way. She has come around and she is ok with either now but still really wants a sister. Also with it being right after the holidays, we are going to be crunched for time getting everything ready so it would be nice to have that done. Lastly, I’m not getting full paid maternity leave a work so I will be doing a lot from home and couldn’t really deal with the stress of not having the nursery done too, and besides it was my turn to decided this time and I just want too!  J

 I go to the dr. on Sept 9, we will have them write down what it is and put it in an envelope. On Oct. 12 when the Deegan’s are in town we are going to have a get together and all find out together what we are having. JV’s family will all be out of town then, but we will do something special to tell them the news as well the following week. It was hard to get a day when everyone was here and I really wanted to do something fun to find out. I have a friend at work who is making us a pink or blue cake and we will let Aly cut it and see!!!

We are so excited for what’s coming for our family and looking forward to finding out if we are adding a brother or sister for miss Aly.
