I have been a huge slacker when it comes to documenting this pregnancy. I almost feel as if I am neglecting this little girl- but I promise I'm not! Even saying that every moment I was pregnant with Hunter I knew how big he was what he was doing that week and every little thing going on inside my belly. I followed thebump.com like it was my job and was fascinated about everything pregnancy. In saying that maybe it is just that I "know" what is going on because Hunter will just be 1 in two weeks!! Well baby girl Mills (her name is a secret for now) I promise your Mommy loves you and is taking good care of you and your brother did not get more ice cream than you are! Anyway I can't believe I am 24 weeks-- still at the same time it seems so far away. I am all for our little girl to stay as long as she wants even though once I get into the 9th month I may feel a little different. My biggest hope for this pregnancy is that I get to experience what real labor is like. I almost felt that I was robbed of that with Hunter because of the PIH
(pregnancy induced hypertension) and I had to be induced at 37 weeks. I want to be able to experience all the "fun" I didn't get to with Hunter because who knows- this could be my last pregnancy. Speaking of that- I always wanted a large family. At least 4 kids. I just love the time you can spend with family and what would be better than having lots of people to share your love with. Now that Hunter is almost a year (crazy I know!) and baby girl Mills will be here in just 16 weeks or less I almost feel that our family is going to be complete. We will have the perfect little family a Mommy, Daddy and a boy and girl. People have asked me if I am going to get my tubes tied after this pregnancy- I can't help but think are you freaking crazy??? First of all I am only 26 why would I do something so drastic at such a young age? I would still like for the option to be there if JJ and I decide to expand our perfect little family. So nosy people of the world-- even though I think the question is pretty inappropriate- no I am not getting my "tubes tied”. You know I don't know if I have ever wrote about this--- especially since I have been very absent in documenting this pregnancy- okay I just forgot what I was going to write- ugh pregnancy brain. Oh yeah now I remember. We found out we were expecting another baby on Valentine's Day. The days prior to this- maybe even an entire week before I had taken a few (um about 7) pregnancy tests. The problem with these tests is that they would show up negative and for some reason after taking the first few I decided to look at them again the next day and they turned positive--- very faint line-- but positive nonetheless. Well because I had been on this saving money kick-- which I still am-- I was buying my tests from the dollar store because they are expensive everywhere else. So I bit the bullet on Valentine's Day on our way home from my amazing brunch at my favorite restaurant with JJ and Hunter and asked JJ to stop at CVS so I could buy one of those fancy digital tests. Two test and $25 later it was clear I was pregnant and I knew from that moment it would be a girl. This little diva was high maintenance already apparently she was too good for the dollar store tests-- lol. Well anyway this pregnancy has kicked my butt for the most part- I try to stay positive because I find if I tell people that I in fact feel pretty good my days seem to go better. In reality thought I am scared to take my pregnancy vitamins because they make me sick and I am so tired all the time. As long as my little girl is healthy I will tackle all of this- I know it is all worth it! I have my Dr. Appt on Thursday- I don't know yet if JJ will be able to go because of work so it may just be Hunter and I. The good news is that we will get to see baby girl Mills again! At my last ultrasound they could not get a good picture of her heart so they are having me do another. Not that I mind at all! Well I guess that is it for now- I really need to make more of an effort to document this pregnancy I owe it to my little girl if anything. So that is my goal for now- Once a week updates- on both of my kids!
