Big update after a break

I haven't blogged for awhile. I actually think the last time I did blog I had a very big secret. I knew that it would be hard to write on here without talking about it. On February 21st I got a positive pregnancy test. I decided to take another the next day and it was still positive. I tried one of my cheap ones I bought off the internet and it was obviously positive (with my chemical pregnancy, it was not obvious). This gave me a little hope - we told our parents that day or the next. Waited awhile to tell a couple close friends. 

When I went in to have an ultrasound after my miscarriage my Dr found a large cyst in my fallopian tube. He told me to come back in 6 weeks to have it checked out. I went in on March 7th and he put the wand in to do the ultrasound and said "Do you know that you're pregnant???" I really surprised him! I was measuring 5 weeks 6 days - which was right on with what I should have been (based on when I tracked my ovulation). The baby was a beautiful little speck of rice and it had a little fluttering heartbeat. I wanted to cry tears of joy! He said the heartbeat seemed kinda low (which later I found out it was 106bpm). He said "Come back in a few weeks and we'll recheck to make sure everything is progressing." I made my next appointment for April 1st. The next day I was 6 weeks pregnant and boy did my morning/all day sickness kick in. It took me a few days before I finally called my Dr and said "Is there anything you can give me to help with this?" Luckily, there was! He called me in something and James went and picked it up for me. It was a life saver. I was able to eat and function normally again. Meanwhile, we had a trip to Reno - flew on the plane (which I was nervous about) but everything went fine. We had a great time in Reno, Logan had a blast playing outside and going to lots of different parks!
We got back home and I had my ultrasound that following Monday. I went in and my Dr seemed a little worried with how my last appointment went. I guess I should have been farther along based on my last period...but I told him I ovulated late. He put the wand in - and there was my baby! Big with arms and legs! And a super fast heart rate - 176bpm. I haven't got to hear it yet, only see it. My Dr was very happy with how everything looked. He said I could take a deep breath and relax. My baby was actually measuring a few days ahead so he changed my due date to October 30th.
Just for fun I did a tarot card reading (online) and the lady predicted that I will have a girl (which I've been feeling girl since the beginning) and that she would come early (she said she saw the number 26). Maybe October 26th? That would only be a week early :)

James and I decided to pay to have an elective ultrasound done. We are having it done on May 11th when his parents are in town for Logan's 2nd birthday. I will be a little over 15 weeks - so I'm not sure how accurate the results will be, but it will be cool to have everyone there to see the baby on the ultrasound. I would love to have another little boy, just so Logan could have a brother. Every time I ask him if he wants a baby brother he says no - then I ask do you want a baby sister he says yes! He's going to be such a big helper, I can't wait to see what he's like with a sibling. Either gender I will be happy with. If it's a girl it will be so fun to have someone to get pedicures with and go shopping with :)
My morning/all day sickness comes and goes. Sometimes I go weeks without feeling sick, but these last few days I've felt pretty sick :( I've also had really sore boobs, constipation (lovely, I know), and shortness of breath (already, I'm only 11 weeks)! I have another ultrasound scheduled for Wednesday. They do a screening for Downs Syndrome and other abnormalities. I didn't do this with Logan, but it's another chance to see my baby so I wanted to do it this time. Plus, I feel like with this pregnancy I'm much more worried about everything. I just want to make our family complete! After this baby I don't think we plan on having anymore. I would love a big family but I just don't see it in our future (unless we win the lottery...that we never play).
