My little olive

My little love is 1 inch and about the size of a medium green olive!

                       I'm very bloated at the time of this picture and have a baby bump already!

8 weeks

As I write this blog, I'm actually 8 and a half weeks preggo! We went to the dr yesterday for my 2nd appointment!  We had another ultrasound and got to hear my "love"s heartbeat....175 beats and beating strong!  He/she was also moving around like crazy!  The baby is about the size of a kidney bean right now and most of the vital organs have formed.  So amazing to me!  My due date got changed from the 28th of May to the 26th...go figure.  I'm pretty sure I won't go to the 26th, my dr is very kind to induce around the 39th week!  My belly has also popped out this week.  I didn't show with Caden until I was almost 5 months, but i'm showing at 2 months already with this little love!

Preggo stuff:
~haven't gained any weight yet!!!
~still wearing pre-pregnancy tops and wearing my normal jeans with my belly band
~morning sickness or all day sickness has gotten the best of me....thank goodness for Zofran or I wouldn't keep anything down
~all i want to eat is cherry or coke icee's and clausen pickles
~have no energy
~had some dizzy spells, but I've read thats completely normal
~Caden still thinks the baby should be here NOW!!

Brandon and I are so goofy, we started doing all these gender quizzes online to see what we are having.  Everything we've done and quizzed ourself on is pointing to a girl!  I did the chinese calendar and it also said girl....so we will see if any of those are correct!  I will post pictures later today or tomorrow of baby b and some belly pics!!!

Big thanks to my hubby!!!

I really do have the greatest husband ever!  Ever since I started working on weekends, he does the laundry and goes grocery shopping for me.  This past week I starting feeling awful.  I drug myself to the dr. and found out I had walking pneumonia, I guess a perk of working with germy kids!  Having that on top of morning sickness, was just plain awful.  Brandon was so wonderful...he did everything!!!  He took Caden out of the house so I could sleep for almost 48 straight hours, he cleaned, he organized C's closet, he ran out and got me take out, rented me a movie, and he stayed home to pamper me the opening weekend of hunting season. Some of you may think "ok whats the big deal with hunting", well he has always gone hunting especially opening day, its a ritual for him.  I told him to please go, we'd be fine and he insisted he needed to stay home!  He truly is the best husband and dad we could ever ask for!  Just wanted to give him some much deserved credit!!  I love you Brandon.

Something besides my kid....

I blog alot about Caden....so I decided to write about my job! I love my job, couldn't be happier working. Even though its time away from B and C, I still enjoy getting away and having some "me" time. I never would have thought working would satisfy my "me" time!!! I work at Huntsville Hospital in huntsville and I specifically work in the pediatric ER. We are a level 2 trauma center, which means we handle almost anything and everything from near drownings to strep throat. We are the only hospital in north alabama to do level 2 traumas for children. We get tons of kids from all over north alabama. We also refer children out to many different place...st. judes, vandy, oncology hospitals etc. The people I work with are super awesome, we know how to have a good time and we know how to kick butt in helping kiddos! The job can be emotional at times, but the good out weighs the bad. I love feeling like I've made a difference in a child's or a families life! Of course, no job is better than being a mommy, so thats still my #1 job!!

A new little blessing....

Will be arriving in May!!!! Brandon and I are expecting our 2nd baby May 28th!!! We are so excited and thrilled! I have known since Sept. 14th I was pregnant but we wanted to wait till after my first dr. appt. to share our news! They thought I was 7 weeks along but after the ultrasound yesterday, we found out I was only 5 weeks and 5 days! I get to go back in 2 weeks for another ultrasound...yipeee...my baby was too small to really see! Caden is super excited he's going to be a big brother and has names the new baby some interesting names!!!
