The big reveal

So, I know there is a striking difference between the amount of blogging I did with my first pregnancy and the amount of blogging I'm doing with this one. I guess it's a combination of being busy and stuff not being so "new". I hope this little one doesn't feel slighted!

But, just for the record, I found out I was pregnant on June 12th (using an expired test but hoping it was still reliable) when I was 5 days late.

And so far, this pregnancy has been very much like the first. I had nausea from about weeks 6-10. Though I didn't get quite the same surge of energy when I entered my second trimester, I attribute that to having a toddler in the house. Everything has been similar enough that I had pretty much convinced myself that I'll be having another boy. Also, last time my dreams all pointed to a boy, and this time, I've had a few very realistic boy dreams.

However, when we went in for my anatomy scan yesterday at 19w3d, we learned that this baby is a GIRL! I was so shocked, and I think I'm still getting used to the news. I really had prepped myself for two boys! But of course I'm thrilled and can't wait to see what's in store for us.
