Babycakes

For some reason this is what I've been calling fetus. So I finally got in to the doctor today to get everything checked out. And truth be told, I really am pregnant, and I heard that little rapid heartbeat to prove it. It was a relief because usually I think of all the worst things that could happen or what if I'm just imagining it all. How pathetic how much I rely on modern medicine to tell me something so obvious:) Tentative due date is scheduled for Sept. 24, which puts me a little over 13 weeks. I already feel a lot bigger. I so wish I were one of those flat chested girls who get pregnant and get these awesome boobs. Nope, mine just get more obnoxious. I have to remind myself that it's a small price to pay...and I can always cut them off after childbirthing years. This pregnancy had been easier than Oliver's for sure. The main symptom is just being so tired, which I'm hoping will start to go away next week. With Ollie, after 14 weeks I was like new, so fingers crossed. My doc said she would get me in early for an ultrasound to find out the sex, probably end of April, so that will definetely be exciting. I am hoping for a girl for Ryan and secretely I am already thinking it's a girl, but a boy would also be a lot of fun for Ollie. Either way, there is nothing like a snuggly soft newborn, I can't wait! I need to get one of those mommy has a baby in her tummy books, poor Oliver won't know what happened to his selfish life. Which reminds me, I was watching Baby Story (surprise surprise) and a mom had just had a baby and she also had a 2 1/2 yr old little girl. Well when they brought the baby home, her little girl kept asking "Who's her mommy and daddy? Where will she live?" As much as those poor parents tried to explain they were the baby's mommy and daddy, it was just coming in one ear and out the other. Is that going to be Oliver, poor kid. If only he knew this was the process to siblings. We'll just chalk it up to the classic, "He'll thank us one day" bit.
