On October 6, 2011 I took a pregnancy test, fully expecting it to be negative for serveral reasons, first and foremost because I was on birth control and had been for the last few months. Secondly, because even if I wasn't on birth control, it took months and months, with a side of medication to get pregnant with Sam, and thirdly, because we weren't even thinking about having another baby anytime soon. Lo and behold, 3 minutes later, I was looking at a positive pregnancy test... needless to say I pretty much freaked out, took about 5 more tests just to be sure, then called AJ...
A few days later I was finally accepting that we were going to be parents again a lot sooner than we expected. We were happy and even starting to get excited. I had an OB appointment on Oct. 13, we had a little bit of a scare at that point, they did an ultrasound and couldn't see anything, and I had started spotting... as we weren't sure when I had gotten pregnant, we were thinking that maybe it wasn't meant to be and that things would just go back to the original plan... So we spent a little over a week in limbo, I had blood drawn every few days and then finally on Oct. 21, I had an ultrasound. We weren't sure what to expect at the ultrasound, but as soon as we started we saw our new little bean right away, got to hear the heart beat (128 BPM) and this new adventure started!
We were apprehensive at first, but now we are so happy and excited. My estimated due date is around June 9th, so another Summer baby... we should find out the sex in January. Sam has no idea what is going on, but I'm going to enjoy the next few months with just us until the new one comes. My next appointment is on November 23rd, hopefully we'll get another ultrasound!
Here's a few recent pictures of Sam, he's getting so big and so fricken cute!
