News

So, my good friend Brittney posted a picture of her positive pregnancy test on her blog to announce. Yay for her having twins (Sorry, Brit! I can't help myself...)! I thought it was a cute idea. But if I were going to do that, I'd want to post a pic of all five of the ones I took before I believed it. LOL. We are excited to announce that baby Hegewald #2 will be joining our family sometime in mid-August. My official due date is the 24th (my parent's anniversary) but I'm hoping if I choose to have another c-section that I will have the option to deliver at 39 weeks. We shall see! For now, here are some....thoughts....in bullet point form. Because I can't conjure up a complete sentence these days.
The morning sickness is an all day event, but it's not as bad when I'm at work because I'm distracted. The other days are killer and I think I'm wearing a permanant spot in my mattress from spending as much time as possible on it. Terrible taste in mouth is back (We will forever be bonded, Laura. LOL) as well as a ton of excess stomach acid that makes my belly gurgle all day long.
Cravings so far include: Sour cream and cheddar Ruffles chips, black forest cake, cinnamon rolls, Wendy's chili, and green apples.
Olivia has decided to start waking up three times a night again after two heavenly weeks of sleeping for about 10 hours at a time (those weeks were the best Christmas present ever). Perfect timing. Getting me back into the newborn routine I suppose.
I found an amazing doctor. So grateful for that. Olivia came to our first visit and wasn't the happiest (nap time), but the doctor didn't seem irritated in the least and made things as quick and painless as possible. We had a quick ultrasound to confirm due date. Heartbeat present.
All good things. So fun.
I have so many things to do in the next 7 months. It's in my head. I should write it down, and then maybe it won't feel like so much!
In case you're doing math, my children will be 20. Months. Apart. But I like the idea of them being close in school.
Ryan thinks boy. I think girl. Last time, he was right. We'll see :)

Bah! I am so excited for you! ( and that I don't have to keep a secret anymore, you know me ;) Good luck with them being so close... wait, I can kinda relate! haha. Are you finding out the gender this time?? If my vote counts, I say yes. Glad you found a good doctor! And here's to hoping your ms leaves quickly!! ... And doesn't return, like mine;)
