Baby talk, and migraine.

 I suppose the news has started to sink in a little, and the excitement is beginning.  It still feels surreal, as if it were a dream, and I will get my period any day. Haha.  I certainly hope not!  Jamie and I have already even been throwing out baby name ideas.  For some reason all I can see is the color pink!  It is probably just wishful thinking.  I’m totally fine with having another boy, as long as we have a healthy little one, I am happy.  I’m trying to be cautiously optimistic.  I am still very early in this pregnancy, and I know the chance for miscarriage is still very high.  I added a ticker to my entries, but I’m not sure on the correct due date yet, so it may be off.  I’m going to call next Monday or so and schedule my first OB appointment (squeee!!!).  I’m hoping that they will do an internal ultrasound to give me a more accurate due date.  I’d also like to know if there is a possibility of twins.  If you’ve been reading me for a long time, you will remember that we found out after Ethan was born that he was a twin.  She found another sac in the placenta, so the fetus was reabsorbed.  

I need to work on cutting out caffeine.  I’ve been having too much of it.  I have been taking a Flintstone vitamin. I need to buy prenatal ones, but I am sure they will give me a prescription for them at the drs office.  I made a list of all of the items and gear that we are going to need to buy.  Boy, babies are expensive.  It makes me a little sad that I have gotten rid of 90% of our stuff from when Owen and Ethan were babies.  It would have saved us so much money.  I would love to start buying things now to get a head start, like packs of diapers, but I know that is something you shouldn’t do until the 2nd trimester when you are less likely to lose the baby.

I have no idea what we are going to do with the huge elliptical we keep in the spare bedroom.  I don’t want to put it in storage because it will never get used, but the only other free place in the house is the dining room.  I think that will look tacky in a formal dining room.

 I still don’t know what to do about this job interview.  What if I cancel it and lose the baby?  I would have thrown away a great opportunity.  On the other hand, I can’t afford to put 3 kids in daycare if I do get the job and have the baby.  Would it be fair to an employer for me to start a new job, and then take 6 weeks off after only working there for 7 or so months??  

Well I had planned to write more, but I am getting migraine.  And I don’t just "just a really bad headache".  It starts with a spot in my vision that i can’t see/focus on.  Then comes the halo – it looks like someone has broken my vision in a place (jagged lines with colors), that gets bigger and bigger.  Is it a coincidence that I got them really bad whiile breastfeeding Ethan, and haven’t had one since until now, and I am now pregnant?

Srorry if my writing is terrible.  I can’t read what I’m typing to proof read.
