So, we began trying again beginning Oct 21st, so that would put me at my 5th week already. I still have yet to make a Dr. appointment. My first symptoms exhibited heartburn, on the verge of crying at points during the day (until I realize it is a pregnancy attack and fight it off), and frequent trips to the bathroom, esp in the middle of the night. :/ I took a test only 2 days before I missed, and it was a no go. So I told G and we were a little bummed, but, hey, there was always next month. Only 2 days later I kept having these symptoms...so I decided to take one again, just to be sure. After 3 minutes, the test said bum the oven!! Well, it didnt actually say that, but the 2 lines sure eluded to that!! I figured since G was still under the impression we werent going to have a baby just yet, I decided to go about surprising him. :) He was saying, "No way! Nooo waay! We're going to have a baby?!" A baby truly changes everything as we learned right away with our first, and a second child adds to the joy of our first. And, actually R was the first one I told, but she didnt really care. :)
The latest development this week, besides our baby growing to the size of a sesame seed and miraculously developing a heartbeat...I am having serious asthma problems. I've got myself an inhaler (again) and taking Robitussin...neither of which seem to be helping. Motrin actually helps sometimes, but I think I might go pick up some Prilosec again to hopefully get this under control. The first time around the same thing happened, I was not crazy about being doped on all the drugs just for asthma, and neither am I this time. I know it worked, so I am going to give it a try.
R's latest developments this week include, phasing out of the whining after we nipped that, and asking for us to draw things FOR her. She is soo cute, and I love her with all my heart! It makes we wanna go into her room and cuddle her up right now...but for the sake of having a content toddler in the morning, I will resist! :) We have began teaching her colors this week, and intend on pointing out the color of just about anything she is taking interest in. So far she likes Yellow the best. She is very content to play on her own, although does require one on one at times, I am so honored to have that privilege any chance I get. She will talk to us like she is actually saying words, and we will respond when we know what she is trying to say, and when we DONT know what she is trying to say. We've decided to call it quits with introducing new signs to her. Although they have been so helpful, she now needs to develop a vocabulary before we introduce more. Well, thats it for now. Until next week.!!
