7 Weeks To Go!!!

It's hard to imagine that in 7 weeks from today, we will be welcoming our second little girl into this world. Ava has been so excited about the arrival of her little sister and talks about her all the time at daycare. She is going to be such a helper, as long as I can get her to share her mommy with the new addition. :)

Last week I had a little scare at work when my contractions started kicking in and needed to back an unplanned trip to the doctor. The good news was that I was not going into labor, however they did tell me that I need more sleep, rest and less stress. Yeah, right...do they realize I work an hour and a half away and that I have a 2 1/2 year old to take care of? :) We were able to stop my contractions that day and they gave me some medicine in case it happens again. One other thing I found out was that my tummy was measuring out a week and a half ahead of schedule. Therefore, they scheduled me for an ultrasound today, after my regular doctor check up. I am actually really excited to see how our little girl is measuring out and will post the results later on today.

My mind is filled with so many questions like, "how will it be with a newborn and a 2 1/2 year old?" and "will my C-section take longer to heal the second time around?" But, in all reality, all of my fears are put aside when I think about our second little girl and how she is going to bring so much more joy and happiness to our lives. It will be so nice for Ava to have a playmate with her as she grows as well.

By they way, our little girl has been moving around a TON lately. I just sit and stare at my stomach and wonder what kind of gymnastics she is practicing today. I can already tell she will be quite the athlete. :)

Love to all!
