Hello hello hello. I know it's been way too long, I'm a serious slacker.  Okay, here's what's been going on in the past month: I had another OB appt this past Monday and fetus is looking great!  Heartbeat was in the 170s and he/she is growing good.  I'll be 12 weeks on Monday, so I'm almost out of the oh so lovely 1st trimester.  I have 8 more weeks to go before I can find out the sex and I'm anxious lol.  Kenzie is so sweet.  Every morning she has to give the baby (ie. my belly) a kiss.  I think she's excited.
On Tuesday, March 22, my younger sister, Jessica, gave birth to her first child, a son named Jayden.  He is so precious!  Kenzie just adores him and so do I.  Aunt Kristie will definitely spoil him :-)  Here's my gorgeous nephew:

Jayden Robert. 7 lbs 7.1 oz and 21 in long <3

Here are some pics from our visit last night:

I'm a proud aunt, as you can tell :-)  Mackenzie's been doing well.  We tried to start potty training.  She's peed in the potty a couple times.  A few weeks ago she told us she had to poop.  We sat her on her potty...

She sat there playing on Steve's cell phone.  I asked if she was going to go potty.  She said "No."  I said "You don't have to go poopy?"  She said "No."  So we let her stand up and...you guessed it...she pooped on the floor...right next to the potty.  Toddlers...so much fun lol.  So I don't think she's ready yet, and she still just plays in her diaper after pooping.  Sick kid.  Hopefully she can get the grasp of this whole potty thing before her sibling arrives.  I'm not ready for double diaper duty. 

Well, that's what's been going on around here.  Hope you enjoyed this crazy, all over the place post.  Talk to you soon :-)

Ultra-safe and-Sound

Yesterday I FINALLY got the ultrasound we had been waiting for.  Turns out, I was right on the money on the due date...October 10, 2011!  But, due to repeat c-section, our little bean will be here Sept. 27th or 28th :-)

Here's what he/she looks like now:

 

Heartbeat was 148 and everything looks a-okay!  Now,  fetus bean is okay, but mama is not.  My nausea's been through the roof!  24/7...never a break.  Started about a week ago and hasn't let up.  I haven't thrown up, yet, but I kinda wish I would instead of just feeling like I'm going to all the live long day.  With Mackenzie, it was the "perfect" pregnancy.  I only had slight nausea at night for a couple weeks in the beginning, no big deal, and the usual wanting to sleep all the time, but that was nothing compared to how I feel with this one.  It's really kickin' my butt, that's for sure. Well, I'm heading off of here. Hope you're all doing well :-)

Quite Possibly TMI

Reader discretion is advised.  So, while I was pregnant with Mackenzie I had NO morning sickness.  Just a wee bit nausea at night for the first couple weeks, but that was it.  Well, this pregnancy is a whole new ball game.  I'm not throwing up and I'm not feeling too nauseous.  I'm just stuck on the toilet ALL day and ALL night.  I think you know what I mean.  This has been going on for over a week now so it has to be the pregnancy.  Has anyone else dealt with this symptom?  I can't think of anything I ate that would cause it...especially to go on this long.  I'm eating much healthier this time than last.  It's an extreme annoyance, but I think I prefer it over the throwing up. 
If you've experienced this, or know someone who has, please give me advice on how to control it lol  Thank you much :-)
