Baby is Good!

April 6, 2007 by Lisa

Today was my second OB appoitment and all is well with Baby B #2. Although I haven’t been as worried since I.ALREADY.HAVE.A.BUMP. Seriously, at barely 11 weeks, I am noticeably showing. I’ve even had a few people comment so I know I’m not crazy. I thought 13 weeks with Emma was soon, but at this rate, I will be rolling down the aisle at my sister’s wedding in September. God has a great sense of humor that way! :o)

Anyway, heartbeat is strong at 156. And well, that’s about it. I waited for about 2 hours for a 5-minute appointment, but I have to say I do love hearing that heartbeat. Even with the tummy, that sound makes it all so much more real. As I chase Emma around, I tend to forget that there’s another little one in our lives. That is, of course, until 3pm hits. THEN I remember as I stare longly at the couch… (and as I justify downing an entire bag of Chex Mix!)

Unfortunately, Jeff hasn’t been able to come to any of our appointments yet — even the ultrasound — so he’s pretty bummed. We tried to make it work tonight, but because of the 2-hour wait, Jeff had to relieve our wonderful babysitter (thanks Aunt Nenni!) who had a previously made appointment. Anyway, I feel bad because I don’t think this baby is that real to him yet, and I’m already feeling guilty like this baby is getting slighted. But that’s life when you already have a child, right? Anyway, we are going to do our best to make sure Jeff can be at the next appointment, even if Emma has to come with. I’m just not so sure how happy a tot will be after 2 hours in a waiting room. Won’t that be a fun post to read!

So that’s the scoop. Stay tuned for Fashion Friday!
