First Appointment

So my first doctor's appointments are November 7th. I go to MFM in the morning and then to my OB in the afternoon. I am kind of excited to go to these appointments because I don't even feel pregnant yet. I can't wait to feel something...or to look like I have a little belly! Hopefully, though, I will not get as big as I was with Kaden. I will see if I can find the cd with the pics of me the day before I had Kaden. I was huge! If I find it I will post some of them.

At the Zoo...

Today Jeremy and I took Kaden to the zoo. It was their Little Boo at the Zoo celebration. Kaden had a blast! There was trick-or-treating and fun inflatable things for him to play on...and of course we got to see all the animals. Luckily it didn't start raining until we were about to leave. All of the animals were so active. They must like the cooler weather. Here are some pics from our day at the zoo...

There was a Power Wheels track set up for kids to

ride on. Kaden chose to ride the 4-wheeler.

Hope you have a great weekend! :o)

A Little Background

Okay...so as you can see by the pic above, I am a wife and a mother to one little boy. Jeremy and I had our son three years ago. Everything was a surprise then. I had surgery for scoliosis when I was twelve...so that worried me with carrying a baby and getting an epidural. Not to mention that I have a blood clotting disorder called Factor V Lieden. I also have MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) which has to do with the processing of amino acids. With all of this going on I was so worried that I wouldn't have a healthy child. I had to have an ultrasound every month at Maternal Fetal Medicine and was monitored rather closely. I had to do Lovenox shots once a day in my stomach to keep my blood thin. Kaden was born weighing 8 lbs. 11 3/4 ozs. so obviously all of that was worth it. I just wanted to give a little history of my health issues so if there is anyone out there that has any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I have a friend that has Factor V Lieden also...so it must be more common than I think.

I am PREGNANT!!!

So I took a test on Monday and Wednesday and both came back positive. I feel so blessed to be able to get pregnant fairly easy since I have read so many blogs out there where women have so many problems.

Kaden and I surprised Jeremy with the great news! Kaden made his dad a card that said " I am gonna be a BIG brother" on the inside. I asked Kaden if he knew what that meant. He said "Yeah...it means that we are gonna get a baby." Jeremy was shocked! He really thought that I wasn't pregnant...which is exactly what I wanted. Now I am waiting to hear when my first Maternal Fetal Medicine appointment is. I will keep you posted.

Here we go...

I finally gave into doing this blogging thing. I figure that if MoMs (Mothers of Multiples) can do this, I sure should have the time. I will post more tomorrow when it isn't so late. I have much to blog about.
