I went for my monthly midwife appointment on Monday and things looked really well! My belly is ever-growing, it measures 14.5 weeks, which is about a week ahead of schedule, but that’s normal for a 2nd pregnancy.
The baby’s heart rate was 160 bmp, which is exactly what Harlo’s was at this time. Brady’s convinced it’s another girl, but I think different… we’ll see next month who’s right!
Some silly things about this pregnancy, I thought I was pregnant long before it was time to test, so right the second it was possible to get a realistic result, I went and bought some cheapie test and took them, both. Both negative. No big, didn’t think too much about it, but a few days went by and I could still swear I was pregnant! I was now just a few days late, which can still be normal, but my pants were having a hard time buttoning and a few other things that were just like when I was first pregnant with Harlo.. so the night before Thanksgiving Brady and I went on a date and on our way home we stopped and got another, more expensive test. I took the first one and there was a faint, faint 2nd line (positive) I said “I told you! I knew I was pregnant” but Brady was convinced that that line was just to show you where a 2nd line would be in the event of a positive, but it wasn’t a positive. Well, we decided to test the next morning, which is really when you’re supposed to anyway. I took the next one, same thing. faint line. By this time I was convinced, I knew before I even took the first test that I was pregnant, but I couldn’t get too excited because Brady kept saying “don’t get excited yet, I really don’t think it’s positive” (Brady is always in denial about everything.. my first pregnancy, when I was in labor, and now this! 🙂 so the NEXT day, Brady was out Christmas shopping and I told him to stop and get one of those digital tests so we knew FOR sure, either way. Well he got home and I took it, we waited and waited (those ones take a lot longer!) and finally we see PREGNANT. FINALLY Brady believed it and we were able to celebrate. So, that is a total of FIVE tests later, but we finally got it. Now, when you see those commercials that say “reading a pregnancy test can be very confusing..” think of us. I used to laugh those off too, not anymore.
Also, we ate Durangos for dinner right before finding out I was pregnant this time.
We ate Durangos for lunch right before finding out we were pregnant the first time.
New Moon was the first movie I saw during this pregnancy, Twilight was the last movie I saw before having Harlo. (4 days before, to be exact)
I found on the end of November, 4 weeks along with my second pregnancy.
Last November, I had 4 weeks LEFT of my first pregnancy.
Just some funny little details.

Oh man, cutest baby belly! So I LOVE my lighting system, i just got it this week. I went with an Alien Bee 800, with the foldable medium octobox. Hopefully it was a smart investment! So far it's been super easy to use and I've read thousands of reviews on Alien Bees which were all positive. ANyways, go check them out!

Those little details are pretty crazy but something that will be fun to look back on. Guys are also very silly about the whole pregnancy denial thing. Hilarious. I am very exited for the 3 of you!!
