New Baby

So indeed, Rowen is going to be a big sister. Yah, for Rowen. We found out we were expecting in late September. It was definitely NOT planned, but as you know Greg and I usually plan for nothing and stuff just HAPPENS! UGG....
I remember the doctors exact words when I was in the hospital with Rowen, "DO NOT GET PREGNANT FOR AT LEAST A YEAR". My exact thoughts were 'Is he for real?' At that point in my life after all that we had been through with Rowen being 2 months early which then required her to be in the hospital for 42 days, I could not imagine us taking the risk of having to repeat the process.

But everyone knows our luck! Exactly a year later....( fill inthe blank)

So here I am today, 13 weeks and sicker than I ever was with Rowen. I have lost, yes LOST 18 pounds. The baby is doing great though. He/she is growing. YAH! Greg and I have decided we are not finding out what we are having. Dont know how long that will last but whatever. So because of what I went through before I am listed as high risk. Chance of going on bed rest again is very likely. How do you go on bed rest with a "walking 15 month old"....?
There is a shot I wll be getting weekly from 20-36 weeks, that, according to research will decrease the chances of this baby coming early. I have already lectured this baby about staying inside!

Here are some rules and regulations I came up with for this pregnancy ( I think they are quite funny)
1. This baby is not allowed to show his or her face until at least 36 weeks.
2. If by chance he or she is early, they will come fully ready to be out in the real world.
3. There will be no hospital stay for 42 days
4. He or she will NOT come home on a air/heart monitor
5. He or she will be bigger than 4 pounds

************ thats all i could think of...I doubt this baby will listen any better than Rowen did but here's to hoping he or she will.

We have come up with some names, although nothing has really stuck with me yet.

Boy: Liam Hugh

Girl: Lillian Eva
I am still in love with the name Ameila but my Greg thinks its too OLD....grrrrr...

Thats enough for now.
