I'm baaack!

So is it super cheesy to use the same blog for Baby #2 that I used for Baby #1? Oh well, so be it. Baby #1 is not such a baby anymore. Ceili is 5 and sassy and quite the independent individual. She loves ballet and cuddling and hates mean people. She talks back when she's tired and is terrible at cleaning her room. She tells jokes and lives to ride roller coasters - the bigger the better!

But now I have at last come to be pregnant with her sibling. It has taken years to get to this point, and a whole lot of financial and physical cost. I am still, at almost 10 weeks, afraid to believe it will really happen. I want to be excited and carefree, but there's always the nagging "what if?" in the back of my mind. It doesn't help that I spotted/bled between 6w3d and 9w5d. The good news is that I've had 3 good ultrasounds, saw the heartbeat at all three (including the first early one at 6w2d!), and heard it once. My fertility doctor has released me and I've already had my first "real" OB appointment. So here I am!

I'm going to revert in future posts to my old habit of talking "to" the baby in my posts. I liked that with Ceili when I read back on my posts months and years later. And someday when she's old enough to read and appreciate them, I hope she will enjoy that I really was talking to her. So this blog will resume it's prior format and style, but directed to a new audience: Baby O. part deux. I hope s/he will find it interesting someday.
