Gestational diabetes test

Good news! My early testing for gestational diabetes came back negative. Thank goodness. As for right now, no diabetes.
I am going to be 13 weeks this Friday and feel wonderful other than this heartburn. I could talk about it in each and every blog I post, but I won't!
They will be able to test at 20 weeks for the sex of the baby.
That's all I have to report right now!

Carson's Easter pictures!

Carson was such a good baby for his Easter pictures. He did everything the photographer asked him to and smiled for EVERY picture. It was a miracle!!
We were so pleased with the pictures I had to post them on this page so everyone could take a look and see.
He's just adorable!! Enjoy!

Hairy baby?

The heartburn is in full force right now. It started about 2 weeks ago and hadn't been terrible until these last 2 days....Bring on the Tums.
I remember when I was pregnant with Carson having this much heartburn, but not this early. And he was a hairy child when he came out. Sideburns and all.
I have been trying to not take as much tums since it's only 3 months and I have 6 more to go. I will eat them like candy come 5 months if I take it every time I feel it coming on.
With Carson I was allowed to take Zantac. And towards the end I was taking Extra Strength. I am really trying to hold off on the zantac until it just gets completely unbareable for me.
Starting to think this child will have a headfull as well.

All about Carson - 27 months

We have introduced Carson to the fact Mommy has a "baby in her belly." He's so cute. He kisses mommy's belly and says "mommy baby belly. Love you baby." "Bye bye baby," and "night night baby."
He likes the baby now that it's in mommy's belly. I'm not sure the same is going to be true when the reality comes and there is another sibling in the house. Although, over time, I'm sure he will be Mr. protective to his sister or brother.
All-in-all, I know he's going to love having someone else to play with all the time. We just ensure we tell him about the baby all the time, so he has no big surprises when the time comes.

Appt. #2

Friday, March 13, I went to hear the heartbeat for the first time on baby number 2. Heartbeat was found pretty fast and was beating at 160 beats/minute. Doctor said everything sounds great. I had only gained 1 lb. since my last visit (5 weeks ago), so that's a plus. By this time with Carson, I was much larger!
I did have to get tested for gestational diabetes at 11 weeks though, which is normally done at 24-28 weeks, but since Carson was 9 lbs. 10 oz. and 2 weeks early, he thought we should test early so I don't have another huge baby and we can monitor the sugars.
All other blood tests have come back normal thus far.
Next visit will be on April 9 at 4:10 PM, so I will keep everyone updated on that visit.
