Baby LeBlanc #2!

 

Josh and I had been discussing adding to our family for almost the past year. I had never been back on birth control since Avery was born, but lets just say we had been being careful. This summer we stopped being careful, and what do you know I had a positive pregnancy test in July. Unfortunately, later that day, I began bleeding. My doctor said it was probably a chemical pregnancy or a very early miscarriage. She gave us the green light to keep trying. October 28th, after working all day, I took a pregnancy test before jumping in the tub. I didn't really "feel" pregnant, but something told me to take a test. Two lines appeared as clear as day! After my bath, I put Avery in a her big sister shirt to tell Josh the big news. It was so sweet, he read the shirt and his eyes filled up with tears! I told him not to say it out loud because our daughter doesn't miss a thing, and I wasn't ready for the world to know yet. We kept the big news to ourselves until Wednesday when my mom came over. I put Avery in the big sister shirt again and we told Grandma. She was so excited!

 

That Friday we told Avery the big news. She was so cute, she immediately looked down at my belly and then came over and started kissing on it! On Saturday were going to go down to Luling to tell Josh's parents, but they ended up getting caught up late with their plans that day. So Sunday we were going to have lunch with them and tell them the big news. That day the causeway was stopped because someone jumped off! We couldn't get to them to tell them the news! So we finally decided to Skype them Sunday night to tell them. After we told them, we called the rest of the family and let Avery tell everyone "I'm going to be a big sister, my mommy has a baby in her belly" It was so cute, and of course everyone is ecstatic!

We had the first prenatal visit on November 12th. Dr. Lobello checked everything out and did an ultrasound. Our little 6 week yolk sac looked perfect and we got to hear the heartbeat at 113bpm.

I am now almost 10 weeks pregnant and feel pretty good. There have been bad days with nausea and exhaustion, but definitely not as bad as when I was pregnant with Avery. I think my body knows it can't shut down for the first trimester, because I have a 2.5 year old to keep up with!
