Hello out there?

I was just reading through old posts, and thinking how great it was that I have all of these thoughts and feelings down from my first pregnancy. Therefore--I have set a goal to resurrect this blog and start writing again!

Quick recap, my son is now 20 (almost 21!) months old. We have moved from RI to NJ, living in temporary housing while we try to buy a short sale. I am 17w+ pregnant, with a baby dubbed, appropriately Baby Jersey. Between all this, I have been pretty exhausted, but I am finally starting to feel like I am getting some energy back. I got crazy into diet and exercise before getting pregnant again, and, as a result, started this pregnancy 20 lbs lighter than my last, which I am very proud of and happy about.

This pregnancy I am not doing Lovenox, but am continuing baby aspirin, and it seems to be working. I will admit, I knew going in that getting a script for Lovenox would be difficult, which is why I challenged myself to lose the weight before getting pregnant again. I thought of it as preparing my body to give this baby the best chance possible.

As for this baby, I was told I have an anterior placenta, but I am skeptical. I found the baby on the Doppler at 9w, which was awesome. I started feeling the baby around 13w, but the movements are still here and there. I did ovulate early this time and didn't think we had timed it right, as I took off charting for a month, so I didn't test until I was already almost 5w.

Anyway, I know everyone loves pictures, so here's a comparison of this pregnancy vs the last!
