So this is the shirt I found for Gabe to announce the baby to Craig on Thursday! Now... to hope my husband's powers of observation are working that morning, haha!!
I also found a card that starts with "You'd better sit down for this..." I figure I will give him my anniversary card first, then have Gabe give him the baby announcement card (Craig will think it's just an anniversary card from him), and then, if necessary, have Gabe break out the Welcome New Baby board book for Craig to read to him. A one, two, THREE punch, haha!
I spoke with the nurse again today. The doc wants one more HCG level to be above 2500 before we do the ultrasound, so I am heading to the lab again on Wednesday. Then we'll get an ultrasound the following week!! I'm so excited to see the baby!
On the health front, I feel good but I have a little bit of annoying heartburn (have to leave the jalapenos alone...) & am still tired. My sense of smell seems super potent like it was with Gabe, so Craig's coffee turns my stomach a little and I haven't been super hungry at night (start of my evening "morning" sickness again? I hope not!). I also noticed that my skin always look fabulous when I'm pregnant!! (Totally NOT complaining!)
I'm keeping busy so I can keep this secret a few days more by working on a baby registry for what we'll need for baby #2. I am shaking my head at all the stuff we got for Gabe that we found out was not essential -- handy but not 100% mandatory. (First time moms see EVERYTHING as necessary, haha!) Good thing we still have almost everything we need. There are definitely a few items I want to get again. I'm also looking at add-on platform options for converting our stroller into a double with a seat/stand for Gabe -- I just don't think we'll use a traditional double stroller because Gabe is so into walling on his own (and pushing things like grocery carts!). Window shopping is the cure for keeping secrets and having anxiety about withholding information, haha!!
