So when I found out I was expecting this time, I swore to Chris that I would not read into, or invest in symptoms that were different from my last two pregnancies.
I don't want to get it in my head that I am having a girl and then be surprised to find out we have another boy!! I am being honest when I say that I will be elated either way, but still part of me wishes for a girl..so I am fighting the urge to read into these differences in this pregnancy from the previous ones.
I feel great, I had maybe a week of morning sickness, well it was more like all day sickness, but that's not been present for a few days now. I am having some odd sleep issues, I have never really had trouble sleeping, but now, I would rather sleep all day, and stay awake all night.. hard to adjust to, let me tell you what.
I have no other physical symptoms, the boobie fairy came and visited with Owen, but not this time. And aside from the fact that I am due February 9th, which puts me at roughly 8 weeks, I am already wearing maternity clothes, since NOTHING else fits..well unless it is equipped with an elastic waistband. I look MUCH more pregnant that I really am!

I am getting more and more excited, I have many plans for this pregnancy , such as staying more active, really paying attention to my body, and taking care of myself. I talked with Chris last night about my tentative birth plan. I hope to go all natural this time, as I had planned to do with Owen, but they augmented my labor with Pitocin, and that really intensifies contractions. So my plan is to go natural, no pain relief unless they have to give me Pitocin. If they do, I will for sure have an epidural, as I would rather be able to focus on the birth, not the pain.
But as all good plans go, this is just a plan, and when it comes time, we will go whichever way we need to.
I have a picture from the ultrasound I had on Friday, but to be honest, the picture is not great quality, I will post it here later.
The good news is there is only one baby, not twins!! And everything looks great!!
I will continue to post regular updates.
Until the next time,
