Wow! it's really been a long time since I've blogged! Not sure if anyone is even checking around. (Hi if you are! :) )
I've been feeling pretty well for the most part. I'm almost 28 weeks now which I can't believe. The 2nd trimester was so much easier this time than with the girls. Except being tired I barely felt pregnant (and didn't really look it). However the last 2-3 weeks have started to catch up with me.
Sleeping is now uncomfortable and then I had a horrible weekend. Bean1 and I went on a trip to see some friends in Ohio. On the way out she got sick and threw up on the entire plan ride there. but that night she was better and we had a great time on Sat. Sunday morning I woke up....throwing up. I couldn't keep anything in all day and was feeling really light-headed...just as I had to get on the airplane alone with a 4 yr old. I really thought I was going to pass out and end up in the hospital alone with her. But fortunately I made it and didn't get sick again and was able to drink water on the plane.
The girls were so happy to see each other when we got back from our respective trips (bean2 went off with DH)

It's a .....
BOY!!!
everything looks good and he was super cooperative! the girls were really excited to come and learn they are having a brother. :) We even took them to a children's museum afterwards and at the end of the day asked them their favorite part of the day and bean1 said "finding out if the baby is a boy or a girl. " :)
It was weird that right in the beginning she said "well i know if you want to". With the girls we had to ask them and at the 1st big u/s they didn't cooperate.
when we called my mom, bean2 got on the phone and said "it's a girl...just kidding...it's a boy". My mom was so confused. :)
We got to see the 4 chambers of the heart which was really cool--looked like a black circle with crosshairs through it.
as for names....still no clue.

the 3 beans
Sorry I haven't been blogging much lately. Too tired and too busy! We went on a fabulous vacation the first week of Nov and the girls did awesome. what a great time!
Now we are back and all battling colds that keep trying to take hold.
Lots going on here.
First....Thursday is my big ultrasound!!! I'm so excited to see the baby and hopefully find out what we are having. Bean1 says Boy and Bean2 says Girl. I had been thinking girl... then for a few weeks boy and this week I'm leaning back to Boy. hopefully we'll know in like 36 hrs!
Bean3 decided to start moving a little a few weeks ago on the eve of our vacation (in between bean2 throwing up! which thankfully noone else caught and it went away before we had to get on the airplane) The past two days Bean3 has been moving a ton though! Not bad for almost 18 weeks!
Second. Last Thursday bean2 woke up in the morning and asked to wear underwear. She had 2 small accidents that day and then was accident free from Friday until last night. Today was another story...i can't even count the wet clothes that came home from daycare. :( she's still excited about it so hopefully she'll do better tomorrow. This is still at least 10 months earlier than bean1 did it. fingers crossed!!
Bean1 had her first school field trip today ON A SCHOOL BUS! she had a blast and was so excited!
Well off to sleep. Any predictions for us? I'm scared if it's a boy that we'll never pick a name! we have a few girl name prospects but no boy names.

gotta love needles...and names...
So my doctor (just regular doc) emailed me last week that she's been talking with my allergist and since I'm becoming more deficient in the vitamin that I'm allergic to, and desensitizing me to it via pills didn't work, they want to....drum roll please.... admit me to the hospital and give me a series of 10 injections (maybe only the first one will be in the hospital) to see if that will desensitize me to it.
doesn't that sound like fun?? The reason for the hospital, well in case i go into anaphylaxis. I'm so excited! ok. maybe not. So I wrote her back and said.. "ok but just for your information do you remember I'm 10 weeks pregnant. can we wait until april or does this need to be done now. ". and I haven't heard back. today my allergists office called to set up an appointment for next week to talk about this with my allergist (i guess the decided I can't wait until the end of october for my scheduled appointment with her). I mentioned to the person on the phone "does she know I'm pregnant?" so she's going to check with her and see what she wants to do. makes me want to scream.
anyways i'm doing ok otherwise. the morning sickness was gone last week and this week is back just slightly. fingers crossed. I go on friday for another ultrasound--11 weeks for the First Look test. hopefully all will go ok.
We still haven't told the girls yet. I wanted to make sure that things looked ok first. Not sure if we'll tell them this weekend after the u/s or wait until after my 13 week checkup. Right now I'm thinking we'll wait until the 13 week checkup and we get the results from the first look test as well.
I am getting pretty frustrated about names. There are NO boys names that I like (at least that i'd use...others i like for other people. :) ) well i actually liked one boys name (although DH didn't). However my SIL's sister just had a baby and named him that (Ethan). DH said , that doesn't matter we'll never see them. But it bothered me that if we did, and BIL/SIL had a baby...then that baby would have 2 cousin's with the same name. so back to the drawing board. I do have about 2-3 names for girls that I like.

stupid allergies...
the other news is that my allergies are REALLY bad. I've had two attacks (anaphylaxis) in the past week and a half. I've never gotten these while pregnant with the girls (i have them off and on otherwise).
We still aren't sure what is causing them and my OB is very concerned since they should be gone during pregnancy...not worse. thankfully the last one i stopped with 2 benedryl but the previous one i had to give myself steroids (the hospital is mainly useless near me for this) to stop it. and steroids in the first trimester aren't great (not horrible...but not ideal)
i just hope they go away soon. i don't see my allergist until next month...but there really isn't a ton she can do.
It's actually sad-- a kid on bean1's soccer team has a severe life threatening allergy to peanuts. my comment to DH (in my sad ironic mode) was "I'd love to have a life threatening allergy to something i actual knew what it was". because that's what's hardest--no one knows what's doing this to me. I do have a severe allergy to something else that's completely random....a vitamin!....but that doesn't seem to be involved this time. But I'm so happy that it's me going through this and not one of the beans.
sorry for my rambling. it just sucks. and all this started 2 days post partum with bean1
