First look at Baby #2

Today was the first official appointment for Baby #2. Everything went good and looked great! All of the lab work came back normal and blood pressure is AWESOME!!! I'm really praying that this time I won't end up high risk with pre-eclampsia.

Anyways, I did get to see baby on the ultrasound- baby was sleeping (head was resting on right hand). Even though it was sleepy baby still waved "Hi" (it was so amazing to see the tiny fingers and the whole skeleton of the hand). Baby is beautiful! Everything looked really good and I'm actually as far along as the doctor thought!!

So, the actual due date is February 8th, 2011. Making me 11 weeks 3 days today.

My next check-up appointment is at the end of August (I'll be 16 weeks).

Here's baby! (FYI- baby had leg crossed covering its parts)

 Also, can you see how chubby baby looks? Too cute!

Past couple of weeks

This year is slipping away from me every time I turn around!

Last weekend we had TWO BIG earthquakes! The first one was Saturday at 1550 (local) and was 5.9. Then 6hrs later we had another bigger shake- 6.2! It was pretty awesome to me (not James... Will slept thru both)! No damage was done that I know of.

Aside from that we've had a good share of thunder and lightening storms.

Otherwise, everything is going pretty good. Pregnancy is going... almost finished with the first trimester! I have the first ultrasound on the 23rd (it'll give a better idea of exactly when I'm due). It'll be nice to see the little jelly bean that's been making me sick!

As for names... so far, we've only been able to agree on a girl's name- Vanessa Keialani. For a boy's name I like Josiah Winton, but James' only dislike about it is he doesn't want him to be called "Joe" or "Joey" for short. So, we're still undecided about a boy name.

Personally, I find it funny how everything with this baby is the complete opposite from when I was pregnant with Will. With Will, we picked his name first and never really decided on a girl's name. And this time around I've had morning sickness and everything else! (No fun!) With Will, I had ONE day of nausea- on New Year's Eve 2006 (that was it)! Otherwise, I had heartburn and was just overall tired with him. This pregnancy is totally different! But, I'm enjoying it nonetheless as it won't last forever... and before we know it Baby #2 will be in our arms.

"Sharon!" (at least that's what it looks like he's saying.)

This is how we found Will at nap time.

Bottoms up!

Love this!

And then there was four...

Yes, you read that right- four. I mean family of four! We had it confirmed on Monday (our time), but knew since last week. So, baby #2 is due February 8th, 2011 making me about 8 weeks pregnant! I don't have much else to say on this right now, but will update as things progress. Oh! The baby will have a monkey theme. :)
