2ns Ultrasound

I had a 2nd ultrasound done a week ago, it was part of some testing they do called a First Trimester Screening. This is a panel of bloodwork and an ultrasound that they do in the 1st Trimester to screen for things like spina bifida and other neural tube defects. This testing was not available when I was pregant with Gabriel, my how things change in 3 years. It was so neat to get to see the ultrasound. Baby Moore was kicking and punching like CRAZY! Good thing the baby is still so small that I can't feel all this action! I am thinking I have got another wild boy in there but I guess we have a few more weeks before we will know for sure! Two nights ago I dreamed I delivered the baby OUTSIDE at mom and dad's and it was a little boy! The dream gets even weirder, later on in the dream, the baby was a boston terrier puppy and was running around the yard playing with Rocky!




This one is my favorite, you can see the legs stretched out in a FULL KARATE KID KICK!



All in all, things are going pretty well so far with this pregnancy. I am over the nausea and am not feeling quite as tired. Heck, last night I was up past midnight which is VERY late for me, even when I am not pregnant. I am really hoping that I am not going to have the swelling and high blood pressure that I had with Gabriel. I have a little anxiety about having baby number 2, mostly I am just having the same type feelings I had the last go round...Although I was very excited about Gabriel coming along, it is a BIG change and it made me nervous. I remember laying in bed with Cedric saying "it will never be just the two of us anymore"...Now I can hardly remember when it was just the two of us! Now I feel like "it will never just be the three of us" anymore and that makes me sad. I guess I feel like Gabriel has just grown up SO fast and this is going to make him even more grown up because I will be comparing him to a little peanut all the time. Does this make sense to anyone else out there with multiple kids? Its like I can't imagine that I could ever love another child as much as I love him, but I know that I will, I just can't imagine how.

Alright, I am off to the pool for the day, hoping this sunshine hangs around! Have a great weekend all!

First, that little brown butt is sooooo cute! As to the multiple kid thing, it takes some getting used to, but you love them just the same. Your little boy is going to seem like a man, until he calls you mommy or gets hurt...then he's back to being little again. They do grow so fast....so cliche but true!

Congrats on baby 2! Melissa told me at lunch a few weeks ago, and I've been meaning to tell you congrats! I'm jealous! I can't convince the hubs to start for number 2 yet. *sigh*
