First Checkup with Baby #2

I went this morning to see Dr. Rushing, its hard to believe what all I had already forgotten about since having Kelson. Had a few of the "fun" tests ;) and then got to see little "Ebeneezer"- they predicted that I was a little further along than I expected. They sized the baby at 8 weeks 4 days old with a due date of 11/4/11. If that is the case I would have to be a week late to get my goal due date of 11/11/11. I'm sure around 35+ weeks I'll just be ready to have this baby :) November is Jason's birthday month so I think its gonna be a cool month anyways. My mom jokingly said well if he/she arrives on the 4th that still gives you time to take down the Halloween stuff and put up your Christmas tree :) LOL!!!!
I called Jason and Kelson after the appt to tell them the good news- that we were having a baby ;) and that we were both healthy and that it was just ONE baby. Part of me would have liked twins, but it would have been a lot of work, so God blessing us with another one, is still a miracle.
My weight is definetly higher than were i was before so I think that explains why I'm SOOO exhausted all the time. The cramps come and go, but seem to be subsiding. The "no energy" level is starting to ween off, but I guess time will tell. I still have 5 more weeks till I'm out of the first trimester.
I'm not really craving anything specific, I'm all over the place!!! But my little bump sure has energed out already- must be a 2nd baby thing. My clothes are already snug so I can only imagine how big I'm gonna get. GREAT!!! ;)
Either way, I'm still really excited and getting to see the picture of the little guy/girl is very exciting. I still think its going to be a boy. Jason says girl. Majority says boy, so well see who is right in about 12 weeks :)
