An exclusive for my loyal blog readers!!! We had a doctor appointment today and it’s official…..we are expecting our second baby!

I’m almost 9 weeks along and my due date is September 13th.  We are really excited!

I didn’t have morning sickness with Katie but I am having some this time.  I am not vomiting but I am nauseous most of the day.  The doctor said they could prescribe me some drugs but I’d rather not take any.

When we told Katie that mommy had a baby in her belly she said, “No…can the baby be in dada’s belly?”  It was so cute.  She’s ready to be a big sister and wants to kiss the baby all the time.   We even took her to the ultrasound today.  I’m not sure she understood the picture.  Pish called the baby a chocolate chip but the ultrasound tech corrected him and said gummy bear. 

I did have a slight scare at 5 weeks though.  I started to feel some muscle tightening in my lower right abdomen.  It was not a cramp but just a tightening when I moved certain ways or coughed.  I called the nurse but luckily she said it was completely normal.

It was the ligament that holds up the uterus.  As the uterus grows a person might feel some tightening of the ligaments in the left, right or center.  She asked if i had a child before because i would not have felt this during my first.  It is most common after you’ve already had a baby before.  I would only need to worry if I have spotting, dizziness, and shoulder pain (then it could be a ectopic pregnancy).  Luckily I have NONE of those symptoms.  phew!

I started blogging in September 2006 when I found out I was pregnant with Katie.  Here we go again! 

Every parent thinks/wants their kid to be genius.  We are so biased!  Well, ever since I visited Katie Montessori classroom, I always felt the work they were doing was too easy for her.  Basic puzzles, sorting colors and shapes, etc.  So at our last parent/teacher conference, I asked the teacher if Katie could be moved up the the primary class where they do more in depth work.  She informed me that they didn’t have room plus they usually don’t move kids up until they turn the age of 3.

Katie doesn’t turn 3 until April so that means this school year would be almost over anyways.  Oh well…we’d have to wait until next school year.  Then yesterday we had a surprise!  The teacher came up to me and told me that she thought Katie was ready to move up to the Primary class and they wanted to do it immediately.  Not sure what the big rush is (they probably just needed Katie’s spot in the toddler class) but we aren’t complaining.  Katie will get to learn more and will interact with the older kids.

The only change is that the Primary class is 5 days a week (currently she only goes 3 days).  I think she’ll transition fine but she won’t get Mondays with my parents anymore and Pish will be golfing a lot on fridays now.  Don’t worry mom/dad! We’ll still be coming over for dinners like we did last night.
