The Big Screen

Michael and I are so thankful that our little family will be plus one in November! Over the weekend I got a little nervous, I'll spare the details but it was enough to call the doctor first thing Monday morning. On top of the baby anxiety Samuel needed to go to the doctor for a barking cough and runny nose! What a Monday. Samuel's appointment at 9:10 and my appointment set for 10am!

I'm sure Blue Cross Blue Shield loves the Hopkins family today. First our little boo bear has the "start" of an ear infection. Dr. Y said we caught it at a good time. He weighted in at 24.4 lbs. I'll move on because you will actually be reading this 5 weeks since the doctors visit. But we are thankful that we don't have a full on ear infection.

We got to see Baby Hopkins on the Big Screen! Baby Hopkins 7 weeks along, measuring in at 7 weeks and 2 days! I wonder if we are going to have another off the charts baby?! The heart rate was at 151, we didn't get to hear it but saw it thumping.

Baby Hopkins is the size of a sweet blueberry! Dr. S was the on-call Dr. today, we LOVE Dr. S mostly because he delivered Samuel. Best Dr. to have in the delivery room! He wants us to keep our April 10th appointment to monitor the progress during the first trimester so we will get to see the little butter bean again.

I've already started to look at my belly to see if I'm showing. Silly me, I just get so excited I know that I'm several weeks from showing. But I have read that with the second pregnancy you start showing sooner. Only time will tell.

Right now my mind is going in so many different directions here are just a few examples: are we having a boy or girl? will this pregnancy be as smooth as Samuels? do we sell our house? if so, where do we go? do we need to have two nurseries or one? Will Samuel even be ready for a big boy bed (absolutely not, he will only be 22 months still a baby right?!)

In the end I need to remember that it's all in Gods hands.
