Almost 11 weeks.

I know this blog has been very boring lately and I know that all I'm writing about is pregnancy related. But let's be honest. My life revolves aroud a 2 year old and a baby growing in my belly (I hope). Since I still have zero concrete proof that there is an actual baby in there I'm still reserving my excitement. I am getting excited though which is better than where I was. Still no baby names chosen. I have my first ultrasound in 2 weeks which is exciting.

In other related news Daniel and I are trying to decide if we'll find out what we're hang before the baby gets here. On one hand, I'd like to know just to know, but on the other since we truly don't care if it's a boy or a girl it'd be really fun not to know either. I just don't know how in the world I can wait.

That's pretty much it in the life of us.

**edited, I'm actually almost 11 weeks, not 10.

Need Help: Baby Name Edition

When I was pregnant with Dawson we knew what we were going to name the baby prior to finding out the sex. This allowed for me to really connect with the baby once I knew that he was a he and he had a name. Our boy name was Dawson Lee and our girl name was Hannah Kate. Obviously we got our Dawson Lee. Now this time around, on top of stressing out over having 2 and being sick, I have NO idea what names I am even considering for this little one. We aren't 100% sure that we're going to find out what we're having prior to birth, but I still want to have our names set. With D, when I said Dawson both Daniel and I just knew. We knew we loved the name and that if we had a boy that would be his name. Lee is a family name and we knew that would be his middle name. Hannah Kate was just a name we both loved and it felt right at the time. This time around I still love the name Hannah, but I think that chance passed. It just doesn't feel right now. Besides it's a very common name and I'd prefer that my children not be one of 5 whatever's in their class. So I need help!!!

Honestly, not joking, I really like Lola. Our families would hate it! I know they would and while that's not the most important thing I do at least want them to sorta like the name for our child. So that's out.

So HELP!! I'm not opposed to anything except for all the "aiden" names and would prefer something not too unique but not super common either. I need boy ideas and girl ideas....

Thank you in advance :)

Hi guys!

Hi guys! I'm still here. Still sick, but still here. It's almost April so I think that means my first OB appt is now only 3 weeks away! Yay for that!

My sister is 6 weeks ahead of me in her first pregnancy and she found out yesterday that she's having a boy! I'm so excited for her.

We are officially on the potty training wagon starting tomorrow! He's already very aware of the potty and what to do with it so I'm hoping this official start won't be too dramatic for us. I've got the potty chart potty treat jar all ready to go and the stickers have been opened. I randomly picked tomorrow to start so yay for that.

Other than that, my very boring life is still very boring. Sorry there isn't more to report, but seriously I live the most normal boring life so I have very little to write about.

confession

So I have a confession to make. As much as I wanted this pregnancy and as planned as it was...I'm not excited. I'm sure that it's the mixture of being so sick, a toddler in terrible twos, and no ultrasound yet...but I find myself thinking what the hell did I get myself into. That's awful. I know it's terrible to say. Is this normal for 2nd time moms? Someone please tell me I'm not a horrible awful person.

3 days...

I haven't thrown up in 3 days. That's great! I'm still feeling nauseas most of the day, but it's not as bad. Today anyway. I don't have a my first doctors appointment until April 13th when I'll be almost 13 weeks so the only assurance that I have that all is okay is faith. So I'm running on faith, zofran, and carbs. I know my appt seems forever away, but they did the same thing when I was pregnant with Dawson so it's just protocol for their office not to see you until you're 12 weeks along unless there is a problem before. I'll have my first ultrasound that day too. It'll be here before I know it. And hopefully all this sickness will be gone by then too!
