Big Brother Nolan

No joke this time, Nolan really is going to be a BIG brother sometime in early September.  According to the Pregnancy Calculator, courtesy of Baby Center, my due date is September 5th. Bill and I are very excited to be adding another addition to our family!!  Once again, we are not going to find out the sex of the baby or tell any names.  There are only so many surprises in life and waiting to find out the sex of the baby is one of the greatest!!

 Poor Nolan has been sick, so he doesn't look too thrilled in these pictures.

The pregnancy test did not show positive until 6 days after my missed period.  Completely different from when I was pregnant with Nolan, the pregnancy test was positive on the day I missed my period.  I wanted to be sure I was pregnant before announcing to our family and friends, so I went to my physician and asked for a blood test, this past Friday.  Since the lab is closed over the weekend I had to wait until Monday for the results.  I received a call on Monday confirming I was pregnant!!

I had to take two pregnancy tests to confirm.  This is the picture I text Bill on Thursday morning to let him know we're going to be parents again!!

So far I have not been as sick with this pregnancy as I was with the first, but again I'm only 6 weeks along.  I am very tired!!  Nolan has been clingy, but I don't know if it is because he hasn't been feeling well or because he can sense I'm pregnant.  Either way I know he will be a great BIG brother.  The two kids will be 21 months apart.  Bill and I wanted our kids to be close in age, so we are excited it will be possible.

My first appointment with Dr. Hulsen, my OBGYN, is not until February 3rd.  The Dr. wants me to be at least 10 weeks along before I can be seen.  I'll keep everyone updated on how my first visit goes.

I'll put pregnancy pictures up as I start to show, which I hear happens a lot sooner the second time around!! :)
