The doctor's appointment went great. I first got a physical from Dr. Spiegelman and then I convinced him to let me have an ultra sound because I wanted to hear the heart beat and make sure everything was Ok with my little munchkin. Last time I already had two ultra sounds at 8 weeks so I felt strange waiting another three weeks for my first ultra sound. I needed confirmation. So I waited patiently and then had a lovely lady give me an ultra sound. It was the best feeling seeing that little peanut on the screen and then hearing his or her heart beat. I almost cried. Brad couldn't be there because he had an important work meeting so that was sad but I understand. He would have missed the entire morning for work because I was there for a while. After the ultra sound I had to get my blood taken and I waited for a while. The blood work went fast, and then I headed back to Dr. Spiegelman to discuss the ultra sound. I felt great by the time I left. On Monday I was exactly 8 weeks and 1 day pregnant and my official due date is March 1, 2014. That was the exact date I came up with went I calculated my due date on pregnology.com. That website is great.
I've been feeling really good the last few days. I've been working hard on my chapter 5 but have to admit in the afternoons I get pretty tired. I usually go to my bed and lay down for a few minutes, just a quick little rest. Then I get back to work. I can't wait for this chapter to be done, I honestly can't take it anymore. I'm so burnt out from working on this project, and if I have to listen to the same mix many more times, I think I'll go crazy lol. I have to listen to music when I do work because I can't concentrate otherwise. The nanny and Maia are in the house, mostly in her room but it's still a distraction. When they go to the park, I have some quiet time for a few hours. Today has been an interesting day with my nanny. I haven't been happy with her work lately, especially with her tardiness. She's great in all other areas, with a few exceptions here and there (e.g. I told her she needed to talk to Maia more and teach her words and the alphabet and all the that stuff). But being late that really drives me up the wall, and she is consistently late. Not much, but almost always at least 10-15 minutes. I've told her numerous times and maybe because I'm pregnant, my hormones are running wild, but I just can't take it anymore. So I told her, much more seriously than I already have in the past, so we will see if anything changes. Then I thought, what if I need to find a new nanny. That would be tedious and not something I really want to do right now. Then that got me into thinking how it will work when Maia goes to Montessori school next fall and the cost of that in addition to having our nanny with the new baby. The costs are mounting really fast. I am hoping I will have a job by then because if not, unless Brad makes more money, we won't be able to afford a full time nanny and maia's school. That gave me anxiety and the fact that miami schools are so expensive, I'm not sure if we will be able to live here forever unless we hit it big. There are only two schools in Miami that we want our children to go to, and they happen to be the best and most expensive private schools. In fact, there are no other options. Public schools are all terrible here, maybe one or two good ones all the way down south. These are the thoughts that run through my mind now that baby #2 is baking. It's going to be mayhem. Maia is getting more and more assertive and demanding, how am I going to manage another baby on top of her? How does it even work with bed time? When Brad is not here, do I put one to bed and then the other? Maia is still going to be so young..she won't be able to hang out while I put her little sister or brother to bed, and the other way around forget it. Ohhhhh I'm having a moment...breathe LOL. It will all work out, mothers do it all the time. How on earth did my mom do it and Noelle and I are only fourteen months apart. Sigh...you see baby #2 this is what's on my mind while you are cooking inside me. I can't wait though, it will be sooooooo great for Maia to have a sister or brother to play with. She is going to love it. They will be close enough in age to play together and that will be so fun. I always wish for maia to have a daily play mate and I guess giving her a sister or brother is the best way to do that.
Maia is so funny lately. She is talking so much gibberish, she totally has her own language that nobody understands but her. She did say "Lucky" (our dog) the other day...but it came out as "Bucky" haha so she's been saying bucky every since. When we go on walks she doesn't like to be in the stroller anymore, she only wants to walk. It makes it hard for me to push the stroller, watch lucky and watch where she is going. There is this little bridge in our park, and maia had to go over it and back at least 20 times. She couldn't get enough. I was sweating, lucky was getting inpatient and when I finally carried her away, and then let her down again, she ran all the way back to the bridge and we were back at square one. That girl sure is determined. If she wants something, oh she wants it. But she makes us laugh every day. She does the funniest things, and she cracks herself up while she's at it. Love that little monkey.
Ok, I've written enough for tonight. I am off to bed to watch my show Suits. Only a few episodes left until I'm done with season two and then Brad and I can together begin season 3 (I had to catch up). Tonight I'm even going to treat myself with some ice cream yumm.
Love you, baby in my belly.
