The Cat's Out Of The Bag!!

In case you haven't heard....Brent and I are expecting baby #2 on October 14th! I thought I would rip off my sister's idea and do a little Q and A.

How far are you along? 10 weeks exactly
Have you been sick? Nope!! Just so extremely tired it's unnatural
What are you having? Too soon to know!
How do you feel? Like a fat tired cow! I'm pretty short, obviously, so there is little room for secrecy!!
Have you had any cravings? YES!! I think several cows have lost their lives these last few weeks. I just want meat and really juicy fruit. Think pineapple and melons.
Any food aversion? Bakery stuff. Breads, cake, pie, especially doughnuts.
Have you been to the doctor? Yep!! Twice!! I've been to my awesome OB and my specialist. He has all the cool equipment!

On the verge of giving out too much information, Brent and I weren't sure we were going to be able to have a baby #2. After a million tests and too many drugs, we discovered last fall that I have a few...situations! First: I have PCOS. If you do not know what this is, I'll give it to you in a nut shell! It basically makes you have too much of the wrong hormone, and your body goes haywire. In bad cases you turn into a man. Ok, not really not really. BUT you loose your hair, gain weight uncontrollable, possibly deepen your voice, and can give you terrible acne. SWEET!! This is awesome don't you think? It also makes it really hard to get pregnant. On the coat tails of this happy news, the same ultra sound revealed a septate (or septum) uterus. That means, it is divided by a muscle wall into 2 separate parts. Also hard to get pregnant, and gives an 85% chance of miscarriage. It also carries a high pre term labor rate. ALSO causes: swelling, bleeding, pain, etc. Yeah, I had a hard time with this awesome news and was terrified to even attempt getting pregnant again. But I really wanted another baby. So we hope for the best and sure enough!! We are now VERY EXCITED to welcome #2 into the world next fall!!

Sorry I gave all that crappy medical info. I just felt it need to be said. I had some really unkind people say some really stupid things to me when I gained 20lbs from one of the treatments I tried. I'm usually pretty private about this stuff, but I felt like maybe someone else out there needed to hear it. So there it is!! We are SO EXCITED and I am so happy. Hopefully we'll know next month some time what color the new room needs to be!!
