We've always talked about wanting more than one kid. I would love to have like 4, but he wants 3 at the most. We decided, and consulted with my obgyn, and decided that waiting until Bailee was one would be a good age difference for us. My brother and I are 3.5 years apart, and I always felt like he was my big brother and not my friend. Thankfully, as we've gotten older that has changed and I do see him as a friend. Alex and his brother are 11 months apart, so they grew up almost like twins.
So, when Bailee turned one in October, I stopped taking my birth control and downloaded an app called "Glow" to track my fertility. I knew it could be tricky, because I ovulated 2 weeks later than average with Bailee. By the end of November, I was having symptoms and just felt like I was pregnant. I was moody, constantly hungry, and had some light nausea.
I took a test before thanksgiving, but it was a negative, so I just chocked it up to me having symptoms because I wanted it so badly. December 2 came and I still hadn't seen my lovely "Aunt Flo" and I just felt like I should test again. I immediately got a positive.
I was so happy! Alex was busy with a customer, so I had to tell him over Facebook messenger, but he was absolutely thrilled. The only people we told were our moms, and that night we went and got pictures done to announce!
I am now 10 weeks pregnant, as of Thursday. I ovulated 3 days later than normal this time, but everything is right on track. Our first ob appointment was Monday, January 6. My thyroid bloodwork came back abnormal, so I go back Monday to get that checked again. I figure they'll up my meds. I also have low vitamin d levels, so I'm on supplements for that. My symptoms have been: tiredness, very light nausea, craving salty foods and meats, and weird dreams. We are so very blessed! Kenadee Bryn McKenzie or Jonah Brendan Mckenzie is due August 7, but we will have a scheduled c-section before that.
