Here's one for Julia

Ok I read Julia's post tonight about a Maidenform Ad and had to post about this JC Penney's Ad for a NURSING GOWN. Please go look at photo of said NURSING gown. Notice anything odd about the woman wearing the NURSING gown? Oh wait .. is that a BOTTLE she is feeding that baby. Um hello??? Who advertizes for a freaking NURSING GOWN .. with a photo of a bottle feeding baby??? Who was the mental giant who thought up this Ad????

Chip is being soooo sweet about the baby

We are trying to get him used to the idea of mommy having a baby growing in her tummy. And he has been so sweet about it. He will pat my belly and then he says "Baby" then he will kiss my belly. It's Sooooo incredibly sweet. It makes me want to cry!!! Then some times he changes it a little and will pat my belly, say "Baby" and then when I think he is going to kiss my belly he instead blows a ZERBERT in stead. It makes us laugh. He is such a little goober. I love him so much. I can't wait to see him get to have a little sibling to have as a friend and companion. The baby is due the month before Chip hit's 3 years old so I think it will be a great age difference.

My mom and my brother know now.

They were happy. I ended up not doing anything special .. shame on me .. but I have felt like crap lately so haven't done anything much except work and sleep. We were all watching Chip and I was like so do you like him enough that you think you are ready for another one? and My mom looked at me and goes .. are you pregnant? and I said yep. I told her how far along I was and she was like you kept this a secret for this long. I explained to her that I had found out about the baby the day before my granddad died and I didn't think that that was a good time to break the news .. and that I hadn't wanted to tell them over the phone I had wanted to tell them in person. They were excited. Mom told Charles and said he had better had made sure that this time was a girl .. we all laughed and said .. it's probably a boy. She said oh well if he is anything like his big brother he will be the perfect child.

After they left I talked to my SIL on the phone and I went ahead and spilled the beans to her so that mom wouldn't have to worry about keeping it a secret when they went to see them. Not sure how my brother is taking it. He stills see me as this 13 year old girl that I was when he moved out and went to college. He had a hard time getting used to me getting married and having Chip .. and now this is my 3rd pregnancy .. so I am sure it's a little uncomfortable for him to think about. The kewl thing is I got pregnant with this little baby about a week before his son was born .. so Evan and this little baby (either Skyla or Cage) will be about 9 months apart .. give or take.

My new neurosis

Okay .. I go to the Dr. to get my official test and everything on Friday. Not sure when I will actually go in for a real appt. after that. But for some reason today it's been driving me crazy .. what if the pregnancy isn't going well .. what if my HCG has dropped. I kept thinking .. I haven't puked yet .. my boobs aren't quite as sore as they were last week. What if what if what if. It's enough to drive ya batty. So today I ran and grabbed another pregnancy test. THANK GOD for Dollar Tree tests!!! This is the 4th one I have taken so far. So I take it .. I swear that is the fastest positive pregnancy test I have ever seen!!!! I mean the second line was DARK PINK before the first line was even wet. So that reassured me and made me feel like a ninny at the same time. So the news for today .. I am STILL PREGNANT !!! Woo hoo. This is gonna be the longest first trimester in history. I say a little prayer on a regular basis every day. "Please God let my baby be okay. Let him or her be healthy and a sticky baby. Please let me go home from the hospital in 8 months with a healthy baby." This is my daily prayer. Oh yeah and my new favorite friend is GINGER ALE .. This stuff is the only thing that seems to help me get rid of the "I need to yack" all day feeling. And what's with the runny nose and extra saliva? I took a shower this morning and ever since .. my nose has been running like a race horse.

Woo hoo

My last post actually posted!!! YEAH ... I am so glad whatever was going wrong the other day is now fixed.

Be wary of what you wish for

I woke up this morning and was freaking because I wasn't nautious. Now couple hours later I am so nautious I can barely contain myself. But that's okay. I know it's weird to pray for nausea but after having a miscarriage .. any pregnancy symptom is something to cling to.

Today I am 6 weeks pregnant. If I can make it 6 more weeks and everything be okay .. I think I will calm down some. I found out at 11w4d that my baby no longer had a heartbeat, after having had one for 3 weeks, my last pregnancy. So my goal is to make it over the 12 week goal line and hopefully this pregnancy will be a sticky one.

So we told my MIL and youngest SIL tonight
