We are so happy to share that baby
Weisinger #2 is on the way :) Due December 5, 2013! I am
so excited to have a newborn at Christmas time. 2 of my favorite
things :) I'm 14 weeks pregnant. We found out on Easter morning. We
had been trying for 3 months. Unlike when we found out with Brady, I
was sure the pregnancy test would be negative. We had decided to only
try for 3 months and then take a break (I'll explain later), and
since it was the third and final month, I didn't want to get my hopes
up too high and end up very disappointed. Well, luckily that didn't
happen! I was shocked instead! Eric checked the stick, that's just
sort of our tradition. I could tell instantly by the look on his
face, huge smile, that it was positive. I was nervous and totally
stunned!
When I had my gallbladder surgeries in November, I was in and out of the hospital for quite a while. That made taking my birth control pretty difficult, so I just stopped. Once I got home and healthy, I asked Eric if he wanted to go back on or just stay off, since we were discussing trying for another baby soon. We decided I would not go back on, but we wouldn't start trying until I felt healthy and totally normal again. Fortunately that wasn't too long.
When we tried with Brady, we really
just went off birth control and said “it'll happen when it
happens”. So I never tracked my cycle, ovulation, or any of that. I
knew I was irregular ish, but certainly didn't know details, until we
started trying this time. From December to March, I had 29, 32, and
27 day cycles. Thank GOD (and my friend Lauren for suggesting) I used
ovulation tests, because that was all over the place too. We were
fortunate to get pregnant with Brady in only 5 months, not having a
clue about any of that.
We leave Houston and recruiting duty in
the dust in May of 2014. I didn't want to PLAN to be pregnant or have
a tiny newborn during that move. If it happened, we would deal, but I
didn't want to do that intentionally. I originally wanted to have
another baby when Brady was 3 ish. But that would put us due right
around moving. I realized, I just wasn't up for that again. Having a
due date in the fall of this year, would work very well though. Brady
would be almost 2 ½ and we would have several months here to get
into the swing of things before moving. For me it was this, or
waiting to get pregnant until well after we moved. Waiting until then
seemed like waiting too long. But I knew it was truly in God's hands.
All we could do was try, and see what happens. I prayed for God to
let us be pregnant again if and when it was right by His plan. And I
meant it. If we didn't get pregnant, we would make the most of our
last year in Texas with fun trips
I am super thankful to be in the 2nd
trimester now. From about 7-13 weeks I was incredibly tired. Zoned
out, can't focus my eyes, or think straight tired. I felt so
bad for Brady, although he hardly notice. He's such a trooper. We
still went on our regular outings for play dates and such, but around
the house I was just useless. This last week, I've found myself
trying to play some major catch up on house work. My husband is so
thankful to have clean socks again ;) My nausea was so minimal this
pregnancy which was NICE! It wasn't all that bad with Brady either,
considering there are women who lose serious weight from all the
sickness. But I had more nausea and food aversions with the first.
This time around, there were a few times I knew I was hungry and
needed to eat, but nothing sounded good. That's the worst of it.
Thank God! My headaches were bad last week but have lightened up now.
I've had two appointments and both went
very well. Everything looks perfect so far. I hope to find out what
we're having around 17 or 18 weeks so I can get busy on my new baby
to do list. But I'm really being patient and not rushing things. I
enjoy this stage of wondering. It won't last forever :)
Our surprise Easter morning :)
