Baby #2 Journal entry

Entry # 1: March 8th, 2008.

Mike and I found out that we are pregnant on Thursday February 28th. I took a home pregnancy test that morning and immediately after peeing on it two pink lines apeared. WE'RE PREGNANT! I couldn't actually believe it. I was in a bit of a shock. I went upstairs to show mike. I said I didn't really think it was going to be postitive. Mike was so excited. He was holding lucas on his lap at the time. We told lucas that he was going to be a big brother. (not that he understands). But it was really cute. It took me a while to come around. I didn't really think I was pregnant. But I am!! Now that the initial shock has warn off, of course I am too very happy and excited! It's just hard to believe still sometimes that I'm going to have another child. I'm going to be a mother of two. I love lucas more than anything. It's strange to me to think that I could love another child as much as I do him. But I know I will love them equally. I just think that lucas will always have a bit of a special place in my heart as my first child. So we're welcoming baby #2 with open arms and much love!!

So far the pregnancy is going well. As of March 7 I am 6 weeks along. My symptoms are tiredness, sore breasts!!, and occasional blahness in the tummy. The not sleeping well at night and feeling hungry more often has kicked in the past few days along with feeling like I have to pee every few hours. Oh what fun!! And it's only just begining. At least I know what I'm in for this time around. One benefit, which i'm not so sure is a benefit, of being pregnant with a one year old running around is that I'll get plenty of EXCERSIZE. Probably more than I'll actually want. Lucas is definitely a handful. But we're both very excited and up for the challenges ahead!!
