The word's out! We're 8 weeks along with Number 2! He/she is about the size of a kidney bean right now and has started to develop little fingers, toes and earlobes. His/her lungs are starting to develop and the little heart is beating. So much happens so quickly right now!
This is definitely a whole new ballgame then when I was pregnant with Wade. I knew after about 3 days in that I was pregnant! I was sore, sleepy and slightly nauseated. I just didn't feel right. I did some research online and called my mom to see if she thought I was crazy. In her words, "Once you're pregnant, you just are." Very true... I haven't felt very good this time around and have had a hard time stomaching many foods. With Wade I ate anything and everything. Now, I'm sticking to bland foods like mashed potatoes and soup because everything else pretty much makes me gag :)
We loved how Wade's birth went and are planning to have Number 2 at home as well. However, our last midwife, Mary, wasn't there when Wade was born and we never truly "clicked" with her. We loved her assistant, Cammie, who helped deliver Wade, but she doesn't do midwifery anymore :( So... we are in the market for a new midwife and met with our first one yesterday. She was super nice and really close to us. We have one more to meet with on Sunday and I bet we'll make a decision between the two then.
We do have an OB/GYN appointment on the 19th because Mark just feels better starting off that way. We'll go once, hear the heartbeat and then make the switch. With Wade, we didn't start with the midwife until about 20 weeks, so we won't have as many ultrasounds this time around & I know he's a little disappointed about that. We still will find out if this is a girl or boy around 20 week, the midwife will send us to get an ultrasound. We just can't wait to be surprised- sorry dad!

Here is my first prego pictures- pretty much just a bunch of bloating as I am still in the "fat" phase :)
