Layla says...



So it's a little hard to read...but it says that she's going to be a big sister! I'm due February 6, so hopefully this baby comes some time around then and not TOO much earlier than that! I actually found out on Layla's birthday so I quick took her pic by this sign (which clearly she was not all about holding nicely:D) and told Joe that Layla had a pic to show him when he got home. The sign has a sad face because Layla was not real excited about having to share her mom and dad--she is over that now and really looking forward to being a big sis--haha:-). We are very excited for baby number 2 and are just praying that the pregnancy keeps going well!
Bedrest is a possibility again as well as the drugs and such that went with it, but I'll know more as I approach somewhere around 27 weeks. Right now I'm only 13 weeks. We'll be more aware this time around of what is normal, I'll get checked earlier, and hopefully we'll be able to keep this baby in as long as possible (well, until full term that is:D). We are not sure yet if we'll be finding out the gender ahead of time. Last time I didn't care either way and Joe didn't want to find out so we didn't find out. This time it's my choice:-). For awhile I was thinking I didn't want to find out--I have my little girl I always wanted, I really don't care what we have next and I really did like the surprise at the end--but it would be nice for planning things ahead of time. So we'll see! So far this pregnancy is flying by. I feel awful most of the time--which I think I really did forget just how bad it was last time--but at least the weeks go pretty quick and hopefully in the next month or two (or sooner) I start feeling better! Last time I think I stopped throwing up around 20ish weeks, so hopefully it's not any longer than that this time. Sorry if that sounds like I'm really down about it, it just isn't super fun especially since this week I've been sick with a cold and cough on top of it. It is easier though being at home sick (6/7 days) this time rather than at work every day!! I really don't hate being pregnant--I just don't like the way it makes me feel, but I'm excited for the little life that is growing in me! Well, that's all for now, just wanted to update about our news!
