Waiting on our next appointment.....

If we were cute... and if we were normal, haha! We would've used a cutesy little announcement like this. So why not, right? <3 

Technically, the due date given to us from Dr Krause at our fertility specialists is August 2nd. My regular doctor, who will be delivering the babies suggested making it until 38 weeks then seeing what  happens. That would put us at the end of July (20-ish) but with two, who knows what's going to happen! We are planning on July for now, unless they are like Lucy- then I'll be pregnant forever. As of right now, we do not know gender! Crazy to think that at this time with Lucy (15 weeks) we knew what we were having and had a name picked out and ready. 

This go round....we aren't scheduling an early gender ultrasound. Also, we have ZERO names picked out. 

I have an appointment February 25th and I will be 17 weeks and 3 days. There is a possibility, since I get an ultrasound at every appointment- we may be able to tell...maybe...if the ultrasound tech is feeling helpful...haha! 

For sure though (as long as everyone cooperates) we will know by March 15th. I have an anatomy scan for my 20 week appointment and they will be looking at all the pieces and parts and counting toes and fingers. We will definitely know by spring break! 

Then the fun begins! Names, another crib, clothes, diapers, all the things! 

Isn't this the truest statement!

As for now, I am done throwing up! My energy is coming back although I love naps so much! I have hit this sweet spot of not yet bumping totally out but also not feeling anything yet. The itching continues! I do feel like it’s much less frequent, but once the hives start- it’s like my skin is on fire.  It worries me sometimes that I can forget I'm pregnant. It worries me when I don't have symptoms but then I am thankful not to be nauseous and totally exhausted. And then I worry some more. 

This is my kind of Valentine. This is for all my TTC friends! <3

When you get to Gran's, you take over Dallas' seat and enjoy your blueberry muffin. 

And in Lucy-ville, all is well. She is on the go, even with a snotty nose. She's constantly singing and dancing around. Remember when she refused to go to bed? Turns out that was just a minor 3 night inconvenience. Tonight she even told me,"See you in the morning!" All it took (as of right now) was one night of ignoring the tiny demands and not going into her room to pacify or respond to her. Since then, no problems. 

She sweetly told me the other day, "When you get widdle, you can sit in the bathtub and I'll wash your hair!" So sweet, right? Hehe! She is SUPER into Daniel Tiger right now..which is wholesome and innocent, so go ahead little lady.  

Still no idea of what's to come and we will see just how long we can let it go. She is super eager to paint the nursery! We got green paint to cover the brown and she's asking every day to help paint! We will see how that plays out as well.... 

In case you didn't know, Zesto is OPEN. Just in time if you ask me!
