And the fun begins

Well, I'm typing this post while Monkey is screaming like a maniac. He's in his crib crying like someone is stabbing him to death. All this drama because he doesn't want to take a nap. Wait, let me correct that, he doesn't want to take a nap alone. He wants mommy next to him at all times. Awake and sleeping. I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to manage this with two children.

All I want to do right now is lay on the couch, eat something yummy, and watch tv. Oh and maybe fall asleep. I'm pregnant, exhausted, nauseas, and cranky. I just want a few minutes to myself, but NO.

Monkey and I went to the hospital lab today so I could have 52 viles of blood taken out of my arm. That's a little bit of an exagerration, but seriously, when you're pregnant, they test you for every freakin' disease in the world. Oh and i had to pee in a cup also. Wasn't expecting that so I hadn't saved up any pee. I can usually pee on command, but for some reason I had no reserves this morning. So there I sat on the probably disease infested hospital toilet, trying to squirt a drop of pee into a cup. Oh and did I mention Aidan is sitting in his stroller next to me, watching the whole episode. Lets hope I gave them enough pee so i don't get called back for a do over.

There's a bun in the oven!!!!!!

Yup. You read that correctly. I'm PREGNANT!!! DaddyG and I decided that this summer would be a good time to start trying for another baby. Little did we know, it would happen the very first month we thought about it. We're definitely a fertile pair. DaddyG has some amazing swimmers and I can drop an egg with the best of 'em. Now all we have to do is hope and pray that this little baby hangs on. I'm only 7 weeks pregnant, so we're still in the danger zone for a possible miscarriage. I've had some spotting over the past couple weeks, which has really gotten us worried. However, yesterday we had an ultrasound and there was a teeny, tiny baby with a strong heartbeat. Isn't it amazing to think that at only 7 weeks along there is already a heart beating. WOW. Even though I've been through this before, it still amazes me. So it's looking like my due date is around February 25th. Since I had to have a c-section with Aidan, i'll need to have another with this baby. The neat thing about that is, we'll kind of be able to pick the actual birthday. That is assuming I don't go in to labor early. With my luck, I'm sure things won't go as smoothly as planned.

As you've probably noticed I've been slacking on the blog lately. Monkey has really been keeping me busy (and crazy) and this whole growing a baby thing is pretty exhausting. I'm going to do my best to keep writing. I'll try not to be to graphic with the pregnancy details, but take this as your official warning. Future blogs may contain gory pregnancy related details. For all you men out there who are currently without child, consider this blog your pregnancy preparation course. You will learn things here that will prepare you for your future wifes pregnancy. Feel free to ask any questions. =) Just remember, i'm very honest and BLUNT.

Until next time....

P.S. So far, morning sickness hasn't been too terrible. Only puked once. But I pretty much feel like shit ALL the time. Oh and I'm craving Burger King French Fries. YUM!
