We have big changes coming soon to the Reese household. Great changes!! I was just reading the blog I posted right before Bronner's first birthday...there was definitely a reason I was even more emotional than I usually am....I was about 4 weeks pregnant!! I found out just two days after Bronner's first birthday that we were expecting baby number two. Jamie and I had just talked about trying for another at a beach trip we took in July! It happened fast this time. I was so excited when I found out.....I had told myself that I was going to be just as creative telling Jamie about the second one as I was with Bronner...but my excitement kept me from waiting. Last time I found out Jamie had JUST left that morning for a trip and would be gone for three days. So I waited until he got home to tell him. This time, however, Jamie was home. I was in the bathroom and he was laying in the bed doing work. I wasn't expecting the test to come back positive, but I knew that I just felt different. I took the test and got ready for bed....when I went back to look at it it said pregnant!! I was SHOCKED!! I walked out of the bathroom (didn't even look at Jamie). Went and wrote on a piece of paper, "Mommy says I'm going to be the best big brother ever!" Woke up my sleeping one year old and had Bronner deliver the message. So it wasn't very creative, but I couldn't keep it in! I had to tell!
This pregnancy been a bit challenging, but it's all been worth it to be able to welcome this, healthy baby boy in just 8 weeks. Since I had a PE after my pregnancy with Bronner I have been taking shots every day to make sure my blood doesn't thicken up too much. Right after Christmas I stopped feeling Parker move for about 36 hours. I tried drinking coffee (didn't work). So I called and went in just to check on him. I got a sneak peak at him through their new 4D ultrasound machine!! He was in there....safe and sound and moving around just fine. I thought it odd that I couldn't feel him. I waited in the room for the on call doctor to come in. He explained to me (very vaguely) that I had polyhydramnios (which is just a fancy term for "too much" amniotic fluid). I had to go see a specialist the next week in Birmingham to make sure nothing was wrong with Parker. We had a 1 hour and 20 minute ultrasound when we went to see him. It was pretty cool to see every little detail of his body. He has quite the little personality on him already! I'm now going to the doctor every two weeks (since about 26 weeks) for an ultrasound and check up. I love getting to see him so much!!! : )
I'm excited for Bronner to become a big brother...even though he's not too big on babies. I have a feeling he will warm up just fine to his little brother, Parker. I'm totally in love with the fact that our house will be full of testosterone! I love all three of my boys and am looking forward to bringing sweet Parker into this world. My God has truly blessed me!
