So here goes nothing....
I love reading my friend's blogs and since we now have a little one in the picture I figure I should at least try writing one myself. Even if no one reads it at least I can go back and remember all the small fun things in Michael's childhood (or that's the hope at least!). Time is already flying by and I wish I would have started long before him but there's no time like the present.
Michael is quickly turning into more of a kid then my little baby. He's 7 1/2 months old and I don't know where that time has gone. He's so independent I know I should be thankful but it makes my heart a little sad. He is more than happy to sit on the floor and play with his toys alone until he gets hungry, needs changed or it's nap time. Unless it's in the middle of the night or he's not feeling well he no longer just wants to cuddle. He'd rather be exploring or having fun. I love how his personality is blooming. He is quiet the flirt and loves to laugh. He has so many facial expressions and is very good at moving his eyebrows which I find quiet funny. It's funny how a little one changes your life so quickly.
Speaking of life changing we found out we're expecting baby #2 on January 12th. It wasn't exactly planned but a very welcomed surprise. Baby Z should be here sometime in September. I'm hoping for an all around easier and less stressful pregnancy this time around. This is my 4th pregnancy since Dan and I got married in October 2009 so as would be expected we are anxious and a little nervous that things continue successfully. We went to see my Dr for the first time yesterday and it was not exactly the visit we were hoping for. I'm seeing a new Dr. and I absolutely love her (for now) and she seems to be very knowelgable in my high risk blood issues. I started on blood thinners yesterday which makes me feel a little better, although I hate giving myself shots. We also had an ultrasound and while we were hoping to see a heartbeat we really didn't see anything. I go back in another week to see how things have progressed and go from there. The Dr. suggested that I probably wasn't as far along as we had thought (since I'm still nursing Michael full time it's thrown things off a bit) and I'm hoping that's all it is. The thought of loosing another baby puts me in a very bad place. So for now I will keep praying, try and stay hopeful and kiss Michael a little bit more than he probably appreciates.
That's all for now....
