Bean (and Sprout) are off to the airport tomorrow!

Stole husband's computer so have to type fast! Working on packing to take a trip home to SD. Bean's first airplane ride. I get sick enough as it is on airplanes, let alone being pregnant AND now, having a tot with me. So say a prayer! The nice United lady on the phone saved me a huge hassle and switched my last flight from a four hour layover to a two hour layover AND said my bags from American Airlines CAN be transferred to United. :) (I thought I had to go out of the airport, pick up bag, go back through security.) So, so far, this trip is already going well. :)

Sprout has another ultrasound tomorrow before we leave. His first one went well, saw yoke sac and heart beat. Have hemorraging around the uterus which is a cause for threatened miscarriage, but we are just holding onto the hope and prayer that God is "knitting him together in my womb."

The Sprout has Sprung!

What what you say? Yes, you read correctly! Bean is no longer alone, for Sprout is on his way! After two weeks of crazy nausea and absolute tiredness, three negative pregnancy tests later, a lot of stress about starting my period so I could get on with trying again...of all things, the cheap dollar pregnancy test showed two lines, equaling a positive result! As I could hardly believe my eyes, I decided to try again with the fancy digital "pregnant" "not pregnant" test, the same one that let me down just days before. To my relief, this time it read "pregnant."

I guess now is a great time to "spill the beans!" Yes, this is about Bean, this news, and not about Sprout. Why is Sprout's springing such a surprise? Well, because Bean took two and a half years to create, and only after two rounds of Clomid. That is right. I took Clomid to create the Beaner. Three weeks ago I saw my OB and she prescribed Clomid to me to try for another baby. I was just so mad this week that my period didn't start because I couldn't wait to start taking my Clomid. So Sprout is quite a spring of surprise on me because I never did start that round of Clomid! God created Sprout prior to the use of my drugs :) :) :)

Last night I threw up four times. Yes, that bad already. Makes me wonder if there is a Sprout 1 and a Sprout 2...

Bean ate his first oreo on July 1st. He ate his first peas on July 4th. He is sportin a shiny white bottom tooth and is utterly and completely full of joy and love. Aside from my head in the toilet, Bean will have 100% of the next nine months to himself. :)
