Time to update.
Let's begin with the warm fuzzy stuff. We saw our beautiful baby last week. Last week? Maybe it was more than that. Anyhow, we saw the baby and the very fast heartbeat. Logan's was about 135 or so and this baby was a strong 165. It is so strange and so wonderful to see this totally new being inside of me. I mean that was Logan's little spot. That's where he hung out for 9 months and now there's this different looking body with little flippers, hanging out on a different side. Our first look at Logan was a side profile and it was the cutest ever! This baby was head on, looking right at us.
And let me say that my stomach is growing quite fast. Though I am about 12 pounds lighter at this stage than I was with Logan, I am much bigger already. How is that my stomach has grown so much in 2 weeks? So the doctor said it was normal that you show earlier with subsequent pregnancies. Well, she's right in my case. I thought I sprouted early with Logan at 3 months.
So I am in the doughy stage. The not yet taught tummy. The tummy that has sneakliy subtracted from my best assett - the waistline. So big shirts and empire waisted styles azre serving me well right now.
A lady once told me that she was an addict for coffee, but that once she became pregnant, she no longer craved it and in fact despised the smell of coffee. She credited this to your body knowing exactly what it needs and what it should not have.
In my case, my body is telling me to have wine (of course, I am not having it), sushi, rare steak and smoked salmon. I am absolutely craving all that I shouldn't have or even more sadly, absolutely can't have.
And even though, it is so completely worth it and I could never understand why anyone should even care so much as anyone pregnant is just so lucky to be so. For some reason this time, I really miss this stuff.
I am so excited about being pregnant again, despite the wretched nausea and fatigue. I am so excited for the delivery and to hold this precious angel. I am so excited that our family will be of four.
And strangely enough, I think I am excited not to be pregnant again after that - EVER. Ah! Did I say that? I used to think that I would be so sad when I knew it was my last pregnancy, but I kinda feel ready for this to be my last. Mr. Sweets and I have really thought about 3 and pretty much planned on 3 being our number. But, I have to say, we are getting pretty cozy and happy about 2 kids. It seems more us. It seems to fit our life. I just feel like we are people who want to travel alot and it would be so great and so much easier with four of us. I feel like I am ready for my body to mine again. I will be in my 30's and as selfish as it is, I want to look good and feel good and do triathalons and committ myself to being in great shape for the rest of my life.
There is a certain independence that comes as Logan gets older. At this age, he is on such a great schedule, he's easy to take places. He's great with our babysitter and with our parents. So it's great for us to go out as a family and it's equally great for my husband and I to have dinner, go dancing, do fun stuff together - just the two of us. I just think it would be alot easier to maintain that kind of stuff when it is just 2 kids.
Who knows what will happen? But, those are our thoughts. Although, if we have another boy, I think my husband will really want to try again for a girl as he says. We'll see. I can't think of anything better than 2 close boys or anything better than a girl and a boy. They are equally as great. Equally a blessing.
Anyway, other brief updates. Mr. Sweets and I had a romantic get away. One night away. We stayed at a great hotel, where they greeted us in our room with a bottle of Cabernet. Now, that's just mean. You'd think I was a wino, but I probably only had 2 glasses a month on average before getting pregnant. But, I crave it! Anwyway, the room and weekend was awesome. My first night away from Logan. He stayed with my parents, where my mother said and I quote "We are having such a great time, I never want to leave." So she had this amazing time babysitting the whole weekend. It was awesome and really did my heart good.
Next up? Friends invited us to Santa Anita Race Tracks this weekend, so we will be off for another getaway. Two weekends in a row! So they are set again for another weekend with Logan.
Oh and we cut the boy's hair again. But, daddy made an accidental huge chop on one of his sideburns. Not too cute. But, the rest turned out pretty good. (thanks to mommy).
I need to post some pics - 1 of the growing (bloated) belly), 1 of the chopped haircut, 1 of the new sibling and I can't finish, I really have to go pee now.
