I Am So Lucky!

Alright, I am LOVING this no morning sickness thing!  I wasn't really that sick with my first one either, but sicker than I am with this one.  That's not to say I don't have a few waves of nausea every now and then, but I am certainly not puking.  My boobs didn't hurt nearly as much with this one as my last pregnancy as well.  But I have heard from others that second pregnancies are generally easier and the unpleasantries are lessened.   Let's hope I am a textbook case and all stays status quo.  I go to the doc this morning for a check up.  I went a week ago, but it really was a bit too early for them to do a decent exam, so hence the appointment today.  I've kind of forgotten what they are really going to be checking, but the last time I went in they were kind enough to take half my blood.  I am having a pelvic today I suppose to make sure that all my parts are in the right place.  May even have one of those little doppler ultrasounds today as opposed to the full on visual ultrasound.  In fact, with my last pregnancy, I had only one ultrasound I think around 24-ish weeks to determine the gender of the baby.  And yes, we will find out what we are having this time as well.  I don't want to be surprised and then have to go out AFTER the kid is born to purchase appropriate clothing.  The nursery will stay the same.  Its pretty gender neutral.
