I can't believe I haven't posted anything since May!!! The summer went by quickly. Sarah tried swimming lessons again since she loved them last yr. Well this yr we didn't go through the YMCA and used A-Beautiful Pools classes, they have their lifeguards teach them. THEY SUCK! Sorry to be so blunt and negative....but they do! I hated it so did Sarah, in fact the teacher was so awful I asked for a refund and Sarah didn't finish her lessons! She just had her doing stuff like blowing bubbles with her nose, that a two yr old shouldn't be trying to do. She can blow them with her mouth, but as a Mom and someone who was a lifeguard yrs ago and taught lessons, this nose business was pure bull. Anyway, two months later and still no refund. I emailed the lady in charge who said she would give one in the first place. Charles and I are expecting our second child April 7, 2010. Sarah will FINALLY be a big sister! We are excited. Sarah will be three a few wks after the new baby is born. Since Sarah was born in April and we saved ALL her clothes we have tons and tons of baby girl clothes for a SPRING baby girl, therefore Murphy's Law this one would be a boy!!! But I basically feel the same as I did when pregnant with Sarah. A few people have said, "you haven't been pregnant w/ a boy so you can't compare it to anything" Ummm...while I haven't had a boy, I have been pregnant. Yes it very well could be a boy, but I kinda doubt it. I don't have any new symptoms that I didn't have with Sarah. I get grossed out very easy, can't handle offensive odors (which means I can't always take the trash to the curb!!!) I can't stand the thought of ice cream. The dr said since I had a c-section with Sarah that this is going to be one. So many people I know hate that "once a c-section always a c-section" but it does NOT bother me, I'm ok with having another. If it slows down weight loose then oh well. I think I would be too nervous of complications during labor and having to rush into a c-section. Besides this way I KNOW when we will have the baby! Even when your induced it doesn' t mean you will have the baby that day, you might be stuck in the hospital for more then a day before you have the baby. This baby will be delivered wk 39 or unless it needs to be done sooner or I go into labor earlier. I kinda wanted to wait and be surprised on this baby as to the gender. However, Charles wants to know and well...I think we all know I would crack before hand and be dying to know! Over all I'm more laid back this time because I don't have to worry about getting all the baby gear lined up. We have everything. We used gender nutral colors for the bedding and the car seat/stroller is dark blue and silver. Yes dark blue...I was afraid that if I over did it with pink, then Sarah might have really been a Seth and we would have had to rush to "unpinkafy" her....er...his belongings! HA!!! That is just my luck right?! I know a few families that were told the opposite of what they really had. Other then that things are pretty much the same. Sarah gets into everything. She is still very strong willed, independent and VERY active. I still love being a Stay-At-Home Mommy. My asthma and sinues have been giving me hell lately. This makes me nervous that the baby may not get enough oxygen. Went to the OB yesterday she gave me some new meds, when I go back 9-9 if I'm not better I will go see a pulmonologist. They will also run extra test toward the end of the 2nd trimester/start of the 3rd to make sure the baby is growing right and getting enough oxygen. Ok, I'm exhausted and struggling to breath again time for more meds and to rest. I will try to blog more often in the upcoming wks!
