Checking in
So, I’ve calmed down about the whole family thing. (edited out for sake of family who will be pissed) But geez. Instead, I’m going to take the GOOD energy from friends who’ve expressed REAL enthusiasm 
One told me she’s jealous, even LOL (Well, I used to be jealous of something of hers, so I guess it’s about time the tables got turned!). I have taken some time to get my eating habits under CONTROL, and will try to maintain that healthy eating instead of ‘COOKIE MONSTERRRRR’ eating that I’d felt like adapting.
I went for my blood work and the official first prenatal appt. today. My nurse so totally rocks – I had her the last time and she’s just awesome. She’s very down to earth, truthful and compassionate. She totally identifies with ME, and that helps SO much.
My mom has gotten over the shock of my announcement and seems to be actually getting excited too. That helps a lot, since I draw a lot of strength from her. She’s already trying to figure out her schedule so she can come up again when this one is born. That’s pretty cool – she was a big help last time, that’s for sure. I can only imagine what it’ll be like this time around, with BOTH of my kids being held away from the new baby until mama gets out of recovery LOL
I did find out some very sad news yesterday. Our little 5 yr old neighbor has leukemia. 
He’s a cute boy, very inquisitive. My son plays with him, and is very upset by the news as well. We’re waiting till they come back from the hospital so we can find out what it is that she needs … She (the mom) is quite young (early 20’s), and her youngest isn’t even a year old – the 2nd is about 2 and then the little boy, 5. What a hand full. I can’t even begin to imagine being in her shoes. I just hope we can help and that he will make a full recovery.
So, that’s it for now. Thanks to my baby sister, who supports me fully – and my baby brother (the youngest one anyways), who does the same. It’s nice to see that the time I did put into their formative years has made an impact *smooches to them both*
hormones suck
God, I hate crying at movies. It drives me buggy! And yet, I find myself all teary eyed after watching a moving this morning. What the hell. Cinderella Man, not exactly a chick-flick, did that. I’m so not a boxing fan – I think it’s a STOOPIT sport. I dunno … I hate hormones. LOL
wow
So yeah, I’m pregnant again. I’ve been pregnant 5 times now, with 2 strong, healthy kids, 2 miscarriages and one peanut baking. I’m still kind of in shock, but wow.
My son, 9, was a bit upset but then realized how cool it will be to be a BIGGER brother My daughter, 3, is clueless, and that’s ok – seeing is believing.
Hubby, 42, is confident that we can do this – that I can do this. So I have to take my clues from him and believe it too.
My family took it pretty well – they’re concerned about my health, but I’m in the best health I’ve been in in a very long time, having just lost 83 lbs and 80 inches. This time, I know what I have to do to have a healthy pregnancy and so I’m gonna do everything I can to do that.
So that’s that for now
