Did it work?

10-15-12

We have gone back and forth on another child for a long time.  I thought I always wanted 2.  Then Rob said he was good with one until I finally thought just having Kailey was good for our family.   I would watch her play by herself and I would see her around babies and felt so sad that she was missing out on a sibling.  Then one day he tells me how he wants to have another kid.  I had convinced myself that we were done and that was it.  But every time I see her play by herself, I wasn't so sure about that decision.

I had gone back and forth about telling Rob about how I was feeling and then this September I told him that I think I want another baby.  He was on board.  We knew we were a little nuts to start trying but figured if it was meant to be, it would happen. 

I knew I was supposed to start my period on Saturday, Oct13th.  The week leading  up to this, all the signs of pregnancy seemed to be there but I didn't want to get my hopes up.  Rob came to bed one night and I had asked him if he just showered.  The smell of the soap was overwhelming!  Then one morning after he went to work, I could smell baby powder like someone had just shot it up my nose.  My sniffer is on high alert.  Because of this, I have also been a little nauseous.  I never had it with Kailey and thought maybe I was creating this in my head.  I finally decided to take a test on 10-11-12.  I knew I would know in a few days but I just couldn't wait any longer.  I did some errands at lunch and picked up a test at Walgeens.  I was going to wait until I got home to take it but when I got back to work, I had to go to the bathroom and was just to anxious.  It didn't even take 3 minutes for the 2 lines to show up.  I texted Rob right away.  We are pregnant!

So now I am just re-reading about what should be happening now.  I know that the thought of ground beef makes me sick.  I am so tired and the nausea kicks in around dinner time.  We decided to wait to 12 weeks to tell everyone which would put us at Christmas time.  My first doctors appointment to confirm is tomorrow.
Now how to get Kailey to understand what's going to be happening should be interesting!
