Introducing....little baby wonton!

So crazy but we are officially pregnant with #2! I had my first appointment yesterday at the baby is measuring perfectly at 8w3d with a due date of 8/17 (if you go by LMP its 8/16, sisters bday!). Everything is looking good so far. I have had spotting, just like my first, so I didn't call the doctor before my appointment. But the PA checked and saw that I have a friable cervix (basically one that bleeds easily) and a cervical polyp. Both won't affect the pregnancy but they'll keep an eye on it. If its still there at the end of the pregnancy then i may have to get it removed :-(. Besides that everything with this pregnancy has been pretty similar to the first. Mild nausea, mostly when I smell/drink coffee sadly. Last time this didn't happen, but i also wasn't drinking coffee last time. Besides that I feel normal, tired, hungry, bloated, etc. Because its been so similar to the first pregnancy so far, i'm guessing girl!

i'm excited for this pregnancy, alittle scared too! i'm excited for evelyn to be a big sister! i know she'll be great and love her little sibling. i'm scared for her adjustment though. and i'm scared to have 2 under 2!! evelyn has been a good baby so far tho so hoping the transition is easy for her. and i hope the second baby is a good sleeper and eater and calm for the most part like evelyn!!

I plan to take bump pictures just like my first, i will never leave the second one out (being a middle child and all... :-) ) and i'll start this weekend at 9w! But for now, here are a few snapshots.

Here's a snapshot of the little wonton.

8w3d omg!! i look like 20 weeks already. It was at the end of the day tho..i'm scared!

13.5 months!

Very belated update. I know I probably won't keep up with the monthly updates now that Evelyn is past one, but I do want to try to remember her milestones! This month she has started standing on her own for a good amount of time and even took a couple steps! She is a cautious girl tho and would get scared and fall back down. Her list of words are more, mama, dada, mmm (milk), hi, yes (doesn't know what it means tho), and maybe dog. She started signing please a couple times and shakes her head no. She learned how to kiss and hug although she likes to do it with her stuffed animals more than us! she loves watching little baby bum on youtube. its like crack for her! had a couple tantrums when we took her away from the computer... eek.
