It's official. I am 4 weeks pregnant today. If all goes well, our due date will be January 7, 2011. It's strange being pregnant again. I've had a few episodes of nausea and some heartburn. The biggest thing I've noticed is I just feel hot ALL THE TIME. Don't get me wrong--- under no circumstances am I complaining about any of these symptons. It sounds odd, but all of them give me comfort that things are going alright.
I like that we've decided to share with people. I already feel more supported. I can't tell you how many people ask everyday how I'm feeling. It takes off a lot of the stress.
I can't help but wonder what it would be like if we still had Kailee. She would make such an awesome big sister! I don't know if I've ever written about this on here, but when I picture Kailee, I picture a bossy little girl. I'm not sure why!!!! Is that mean of me as a mother? To think my baby girl would have been bossy? :-)
I went to the cemetary on Monday and introduced Chicken Mini to KaileeBug. I know she's not here, but it makes me feel better to do this. I've started trying to talk with chicken mini on my way to work..... This is something I used to do with kailee all the time, and I look back on those conversations with happiness now. It was "mommy/daughter" time. One of the main reasons I'm "talking" to this little one so early is that many women who have been through traumatic pregnancy loss have a really hard time bonding with another baby while pregnant. I don't want to regret anything, so I've decided to just start doing what I do when I'm pregnant--- even this early.
