Hello! Baby #2 on board!

melandyga · July 2015

Hey everyone! I got my BFP Sunday and again yesterday. My DD will be 2 on Sept. 5th. We were planning to try beginning in July, so that we could possibly have a due date that would allow my husband (who's a teacher) to be on summer break while I'm on maternity leave. We went off the BC in June and BOOM! I never imagined it would happen so fast this time around.

We haven't told anyone yet. We ordered a "Big Sister" Elsa shirt from Amazon Prime which should be here tomorrow. We hope to get DD wearing it saying "Big Sister" on video to announce it to our parents sometime this weekend. It stinks being mum about it, but it's good we have each other to talk to!

I just hope I have a smoother birth week than we did with DD! She was due on the Tuesday after Labor Day. On Labor Day, my husband decided to cut grass around 5pm. His foot slipped under the lawn mower and almost cut his big toe off! I jumped up and ran outside when he screamed and ended up falling on my elbow on my way out the door, fracturing it! DH had emergency surgery Monday night and I was induced on Wednesday evening because of my BP and having protein in my urine. On Thursday, our beautiful baby girl was born! We went from being perfectly healthy on Monday to having to have my mom or his mom with us for about a week and a half since DH couldn't walk and I was only supposed to use one arm. Luckily, my fracture wasn't too bad and I healed pretty quickly. Looking back, I probably did more than I should with it, but I had a new born!

So that's my story! You can only imagine the teasing we get now that everyone's all better - "You'll never have another kid if you have to do all THAT again." The good news is that DH's only sign of the incident is "frankentoe;" it's not pretty, but it works. He had to have a wound vac, a skin graft, and a knee scooter, but we survived! LOL

We are going to Disney in September, so I'm going to wait a few more weeks before I switch some of our Fastpass+ reservations - no Rock 'n Roller Coaster for me! Luckily, his parents are going, so we'll just let his dad ride the big rides and I'll be joining DD and grandma for more Elsa and Ariel! I hope to do our pregnancy announcement there, too!
