Week 4/5 Update
How far along?: 5 Weeks 1 Days or 5 Weeks 6 days
Maternity clothes: Nope but I have won a few things on Ebay so I'm pretty excited to be a little more stylish this time around haha
Sleep: Having a 9.5 month old who loves to co-sleep doesn't warrant the best sleep because I've been trying to let her cry it out for a bit and wean her of that. This has nothing to do with being pregnant though haha
Best moment this week: Getting through another week
Movement: None
Food cravings: None so far
Food aversions: Nothing so far
Gender: Won't know that for awhile.
Labor signs: None for a long long time please!
Belly button in or out?: Innie
What I miss: I'll miss eating my steak at medium rare and having to heat up deli meats, and watching cheeses. (This will probably stay because I have barely drank as it is with BF'ing so that isn't that big of a deal)
What I am looking forward to: September 16th when we can see our little one.
Weekly Wisdom: I haven't gotten any yet since I really haven't told anyone. But you better believe I'll be asking about the 2 under 18 months folks.
Milestones: Another week closer to seeing our baby!
Weight: 161.4 (Last week should've been more like 161 instead of 160)

The Guilt
So I have started asking around to folks who have 2 under 2 or roughly around that time frame and ask if they have guilt over having a second child so quickly because let me tell you...2.5 seconds after I got over the shock and became happy I immediately felt sadness and guilt in my heart for Ava. She has been getting my attention sometimes literally 24/7 and don't get me wrong I always wanted to provide her with a brother or sister but so soon??? Will she feel sad like the dog? Will I not be able to love her as much, or stop and smile at her then she reciprocates, will I not be able to get down on the floor and play with her, or her watch me play a game. Will we not have that moment to touch noses and gaze into each other's eyes and right before she turns away she gives me that sly smile like "I really love you with everything mommy"....le sigh I know this guilt will pass but I worry about it.
Someone said "your love doesn't divide it multiplies" and I know it will. I am excited to give her a brother or sister because I think she'll be a wonderful big sister.
So I have decided which I should've been doing the whole time (but in my defense was so busy all these months at work and had my own app for a baby journal for Ava) but I'm going to do a weekly update of Ava on a different day so I can continue to mark her progress as well.
Of course Mr. B says we should spend the same amount on baby furniture as we did Ava and while I'm not against it geez that was 2k. It is fantastic quality though.
We did get a flier in the mail from BRU yesterday that if you bought a set on some you got the crib for free or a really nice chair/glider and ottoman for free. The price range for the free product was about 500 dollars which is nice. They now offer layaway which is great because same with the other place we wanted to pick it out and start saving but didn't have room for it until we cleared out the room.
I haven't come up with a nickname for this little one yet but that currently is our guest room so we'll have to get rid of all of that stuff and that closet was our storage closet with suite cases and all...oh boy.
I'm going to be going through a bunch of our clothes in our closet and will actually put the desk in there I think since the desk is small and we don't use it that much.

Week 4/5 Update
Yes you read that right...I'm pregnant!
Week 4/5 Update
How far along?: 4 Weeks 2 Days or 5 Weeks

Milestones: BFP!
Weight: 160
Is everyone as shocked as I am to see this?! Based on my LMP my due date actually would be April 24th and that would put me at 5 weeks today however I'm pretty sure I ovulated late and I'm going with April 24th and then I'd be 4w2d. This is surreal.
Just like with Ava I randomly said hmm have I gotten a period (last month was my first real one) so I had a tiny bit of bleeding around the 4 week mark if you use my LMP which was like Ava so I assume it was implantation bleeding. So I took a test on a whim. I am shocked.
The whole 2 under 2 thing is crazy but Ava will be 17.5 months if I go full term. Which I have just started reading about VBAC's and it seems they don't recommend a VBAC if between the 1st section and 2nd would be less than 18 months. So I'll have to chat with my doctor about that. I know many states are regulating when doctors can schedule sections and only do it at 39 weeks and if it's less there's a reason for it. Which 39 weeks is fine. I went until 38w5d so what's 2 days difference.
We shall see. I am going to be telling Mr. B here in a minute...wish me luck haha
