Expecting #2

The journey will continue. We are expecting #2 now! We are so excited. We knew it was possible this cycle, we just didn't think it was all that likely. So now I need to make sure I educate myself as much as possible in the next 36ish weeks! I have all the books I want, I just need to find the time to read them all!

I am also going to do my best to make sure that I have a VBAC. I hope that we will be able to afford a doula. I am going to save up as much as I can and hope for the best. I want to find someone that has experience with VBACs.

We have our nurses visit on the 6th and a doctors visit for a dating ultrasound since I am not sure about the date. I think I am around 4 weeks. I am not positive though. So I am excited to find out how close my guess is based on when I think I ovulated.

Oh, it would figure that I just stocked up on mama cloth that I was going to use for the first time at the end of this cycle. Looks like I am going to have to wait a bit longer to try them out now ;)

What do I need to do:
~Plan out what books I am going to read and when.
~Look for a few doulas in the Charlottesville, VA area.
~Find out about the LLL meetings and start to go to them again.
~Find out what classes are being offered at the hospital and plan out which ones I want to go to.
~Start planning my cloth diaper stash for the new one!

No more meds

I took my last Motilium pill today. Well, my last one for this child. I still have 200 pills that I am going to save just in case I need them for the next one. I just want to be ready. I am mixed about this though.

It is so weird to be near the end. I have been pumping for so long now. I don't know how long my supply will stay up without the pills. I am only pumping 2 times a day. So we will see what happens. I am going to shorten the time that I pump too. I just feel free to not be dependent on meds.

We are now working on our second. So it will be interesting to see when we get the positive test this time. Then I get to put into practice everything I have learned. I can't wait to give breastfeeding another shot!
