Lilypie Baby Ticker Lilypie 1st Birthday Ticker

Amy's blog

This is a blog about me, Amy,my husband, Eric, and my son's Brendon and Gabriel. I really just want a space to write down all of the little things that you forget in everyday life. I have started this blog to have a place to remember all of Brendon's (and now Gabriel's) little antics and the funny things that he says and does.

Scared, Excited, etc.

I went to the MD the other day for another appointment. My iron is still very low, despite being on an extra supplement. She measured the baby, and says he is perfect. My blood pressure is still incredibly low, 100/60 to be exact, which is good since I was preeclamptic with Brendon. I was kind of bummed when the MD told me they probably wouldn't do another ultrasound unless there is some sort of issue. I don't want issues, but I would love to have another one. She couldn't tell if the baby is turned the right way, so I have another appointment in two weeks to try and determine that.
I have been having panic attacks almost daily. I am not sure why I am so apprehensive about having another baby. This baby was planned, down to the day, and I really want another baby. I just don't know why I am so nervous. I mentioned this to the doctor and she said that she could medicate me, or wait to see if it goes away when the little guy is born. I went off of all medication a few years ago, and I don't want to be medicated again, so we will just wait.
The nursery is getting there. Eric cleaned out the room, and we are going to start painting this weekend. I now have my stoller/travel system, changing table/dresser, and my crib. Things are really starting to come together. Our colors for the nursery are: lime green, baby blue, and navy blue. Maybe I will feel better when the nursery is all done. I promise to post pictures when all is said and done...

Honey - You didn't tell me you were having panic attacks. I knew you were excited & scared all at the same time. Trust me, you'll do great with this new addition to your family. It's a lot different with the 2nd child, because there's a lot more to do. Of course, you & Jason are only 2 1/2 years apart so it was much harder for me then it will be for you. Brendon will actually be a big help. You will be amazed at how quickly this time passes & you'll miss your babies, just as I do!!! I'm so excited to meet Gabriel, tick tock tick tock. He'll be here soon & I'll be here to help you. I love you my baby!!
