So, the last post was from when I was 6 months pregnant with Hailey, who is now 20 months old!! I am now pregnant with my third little sweetie pie. It's a girl, of course, and we only have 7 weeks to go.
My pregnancy with Hailey was a complete roller coaster ride. Right after my last post, we had some complications and I was admitted to Brigham and Women's for almost a week. From there, I was on bed rest and couldn't return to work. I was banned from picking up Abby, and had to promise to stay off my feet and take it easy. Andy was amazing and took care of everything, and we were lucky to have Lauren at the house taking care of Abby during the week, and helping me out too:)
I ended up in the hospital again at about 37 weeks, and the doctors decided to induce me since Hailey had safely made it to full term. Just to keep us on our toes, Hailey ended up turning upside down and I had to have an emergency c-section. She was born on June 10, and from that moment her personality has proved to be the same in the womb as outside of it... she is full of energy, full of excitement, and never stops!
Baby #3
Andy and I are having another girl :) Her due date is on April 26, but I have a c-section scheduled for April 22. I've been having some of the same issues as I did with Hailey and have been at the doctors often enough to keep us all on high alert, but just like last time, every test shows baby and me as perfectly healthy. I am making an effort to take it easy, but it's harder with two kids than it was with one. Andy's great though, and helps so much. More often than not, he's lecturing me that I'm doing too much. :)
This time around, the first time I had an issue was a day after my Uncle Stephen's funeral. I think it was my body's way of telling me how tired I was after a very emotional week. The second time was a few weeks later, when both of the girls were sick with bad colds. Then, the next few times happened a little closer together. I think by now I've had 4-5 incidents. If I'm lucky, I'll make it all the way to April 22, without any more issues!
Andy and I are having a harder time deciding on a name this time around.. we have our list, but it keeps growing, then shrinking, and then growing again out of fear that, of the names we already have, none are quite right. So, feel free to send us your suggestions, but don't be offended by how picky we are:)
That's all for now - I'll see if I have time and/or remember to post again before April 22!
