Knocked Up... Again

So, yes... I am, once again pregnant. We weren't really planning on another baby so soon, but hey... strep throat and 2 weeks of antibiotics happen, lol. I'm 15 weeks today, next week I start progesterone shots, I'm not to excited about learning how to stick a needle in myself, but I have to be able to do it myself since I'll be going to Texas in a month for a wedding and my mom or hubby won't be there to do it for me. :o(

I had my first specialist appointment on April 7th, everything looked good and I get to do my cervical length checks in my regular OBGYN's office, which means only seeing the specialist every month instead of every other week like last time. (Which is good since I almost went broke last time from medical bills and copays, AND only getting 60% of pay while on medical rest) My next appointment is on May 13th, I'll be 18 weeks so we'll have a definate on the sex then. I had an ultrasound at 13 weeks and it looked like boy parts to me but the ultrasound tech said it can't be confirmed until around 16 weeks because even girl parts can look "puffy" while that area is forming.

I feel like it's a boy though. With Deagan I hardly had any morning sickness and it's the same with this pregnancy. I had a few bathroom trips at work a couple of mornings but it never amounted to actually throwing up. Just a nauseous feeling, which prompted me to but the pregnancy test. By then I was almost 10 weeks and had NO idea! I bought the test just to rule that out... but then two pink lines popped up almost immediately, I didn't even have to wait longer than 20 seconds, haha!

1st Birthday Update

Ok, so the pavilion is rented and the cake is ordered. The decorations are sitting in a box awaiting their purpose in about 2 weeks. I can't believe my little man is turning ONE! I know everyone tells me the famous line "It goes by so fast..." but wow, it really does. Not a one of them were kidding, lol.

The theme is Mickey Mouse. Deagan just absolutely LOVES Mickey Mouse Clubhouse when its on. He sees Mickey and has the hugest grin on his face, it's so cute! We watch it on Wednesday mornings when we have our day together.

Tomorrow we're going with my brother and his wife to a Hawaiian restaurant in Atlanta. They have Chicken Katsu, I am SOOOO excited. I need a little taste of Hawaii in my life. I really want to go next summer, but depending on if our upcoming events fall into their desired place we'll have to wait to make a decision.

Wow, it's been a long time...

So I haven't completely forgotten about my blog even though it may seem that way. Working full time on my feet all day and taking care of a little dude on the move has completely consumed my energy. Usually after getting Deagan down for the night I am ready to go down myself.

With that being said, I did make a New Year's resolution to continue my blog and I have a feeling this year there will be lots to blog about. There are some exciting events that are on the verge of happening, however I can't mention anything just yet. Bobby and I are very anxious and just waiting until all the cards have fallen into place before we elaborate on details of these events.

One thing I can tell you that's coming up is Deagan's first birthday!!! April 2nd I will be the proud mama of a one year old! I can't believe it's gone by so fast. We are having his party at Dellinger Park here in Cartersville on Sat. April 3rd, that is if one of the pavilions is available to rent. That's my first order of business tomorrow on my lunch break.

That's all for tonight, more interesting updates coming soon so stay tuned, or save in favorites would be more appropriate I guess...

My Birthday Present!

Well, my birthday isn't for another two months (December 30th), but since it's my big 2-5 that means it's my last "big" birthday from my parents. After this year it's just cards and cake, lol. So this is the present I picked out for myself. I have no time to go to the gym, but I do have space in the garage. So after Deagan gets put to bed at night, momma's gonna be workin on some fitness. Working out is pretty much the only thing that motivates me to eat right. So, hopefully by next summer I'll be about 30lbs lighter. Just in time to start running after a mobile baby!

P.S. I learned today that my bestie from high school is getting engaged, yay! Congrats Kimmy-face!

6 and 1/2 month update:

Deagan had his check up yesterday. Started off with head circumference and length, then got the weight. I posted the percentiles on Facebook, but I did some research and realized that I used a really generic calculator and found one specifically for ages 0-3 years. Here's the stats:

Weight: 15lb. and 13oz. - 37th percentile
Height: 28in. - 97th percentile (Dude is TALL!)
Head: 42cm. - 26th percentile

We had a good rest of the day hanging out. He got two more immunizations so he was pretty needy all day. So the dishes and laundry did not get done. Today Bobby was off with him and they had a good boys day. When I got home from work I was greeted in the driveway with Deagan on Bobby's shoulders. We had a good laugh at the shadow, lol. It was SO funny, Bobby looked exceptionally tall (well, taller than he already is at 6'5") and then Deagan's tiny head poking up from Bobby's head.

I found out Deagan's food limit today. We were concerned that his weight was still pretty low, we figured he'd be caught up by now so I decided to feed him until he stopped opening his mouth. FYI--- NOT a smart idea. So he had a full container of carrots and applesauce, and he still seemed like he could eat more. So I pulled out a veggie blend and started with that. We got the last bite of that one in and I was just telling Deagan what I big boy he was eating so much food. And then it ALL came back up!!! Carrots and all. It really scared me at first, but I calmed down when he looked at me and smiled. So for future reference... Two 3.5oz containers of food is enough for my little man for now. We both needed a bath tonight. Lol.

Oh and he's learned to vibrate his tongue on the roof of his mouth. I have a video of it. As soon as I upload it and figure out how to post it I'll get it up here. It SOOO cute!

Ok so I've been busy... I'm a mom. Sue me. :o)

I realize it has been quite some time since I've updated. The only time I have to get on the computer is at night after Deagan is tucked into bed. And after I get done checking email, researching various topic that have popped into myhead that day and catching up with friends and family on Facebook, my blog has gone by the wayside. Hopefully I can get back on track with more frequent updates.

Deagan has a 6 month appointment tomorrow. I'm sure I'll be on to blog about it tomorrow night. Goodnight family and friends.
