I’m 5 weeks and 2 days now. Thinks appear to be going normally, but boy do I wish I had eyes to see into my womb!  I feel much like I did with Kaylee and Savannah this time around, so that brings me a little comfort.  Each day that goes by I find myself relaxing a little bit and just accepting things for what they are for right now. And right now, I’m pregnant and feel good (hungry all the time, but good). I don’t know what the future will bring in 2 weeks when I have an early ultrasound, but I know I’m praying to see a strong healthy heartbeat this time. Like I said, I can only control me, I’m just taking it one day at a time, and trusting my body.

Did I mention my due date in November 5th? I think I forgot that detail amongst asking for prayers while I was panicking last week.  My belly is already poking out, but I’m afraid to take pictures just yet.

Savannah seems to be excited but also has some worries, mainly dealing with her crib. She has only been out of her crib for about a month (since we moved) and so she obviously still has some attachment to it.  Some one told her that the baby would have her crib now and she insists that SHE is still small and needs the crib.  The same thing for her pacifier, but we assured her that she could absolutely keep her beloved blankies and didn’t need to share those. It’s a good thing we have 8 months to get her used to the idea of sharing her baby things!  She also insists this baby is a girl. She was right about the twins last year, so we’ll see if she’s right this time. She did great at the doctor appointment this week (even watched curiously while they took blood) and kept saying, “I wanna see the baby, Mommy! On the TV!”  She remembers being at the ultrasound last year and she was looking forward to that again, but we’ve got 2 more weeks to wait for that.

This week is my spring break so I’ll be getting some extra time with Savannah, hoping for some playdates, interviewing babysitters to cut down my super long commute, and get some homework done. Things are pretty good right now…when I don’t think to much:-)
