Its Official

This is the picture that told the world!

I got the blood test results back yesterday. I am pregnant. Danielle is going to be a big sister! Oh, 14 months apart if you are trying to do the math LOL I honestly did not think it would be so easy after trying for 3 years with Danielle. This time only took once, WOW. Brians thrilled, and already talking a boy. I'm happy but kind of scared, nervous, freaking out, anxious. You know me, I stress over everything. It will definitely be interesting, having 2 kids under 2. WOW

On another note, since Brian is gone, I get 16 free hours of daycare a month through the CDC on post. Danielle is adjusting very well to it! Yesterday, she took an hour nap (very rare at home) and fell asleep again right before I came in to pick her up. Which is great, because she needs to get used to being around other babies with a little one on the way. It's also nice to go to a Dr. appt by myself.

I can't believe how fast she is growing. She has an appt the beginning of March for her 6 month well baby check. After that one, I am going to take her off post to an actual pediatrician. I don't have to pay out of pocket for not going on post, appt's will be easier to get and if she gets sick I don't have to fight to get her seen. There's a Peds office right down the road from me so I'll be checking into that one first.

Carrots

That was her first food, carrots! Danielle loved them, it was great! My mom and I were checking the baby book to check how much we should give her, and how often. I think I gave her a mixture of cereal and carrots, about 2 1/2 tablespoons I think? The book recommended 1 to 3 tablespoonfuls at a time. My little girl was hungry! She almost grabbed the bowl out of my hands when she saw it. Too cute. I bought a whole bunch of Gerber food since it was on sale at Target, and its in the cupboard. Once she has tried them all, I'm going to start making it myself and stocking up on it. I already have some carrots in the freezer for her. I'm so proud of her :)

As for Brian, I've gotten to talk to him a few times now, so he is doing good. I think we can go ahead and send mail to him. I have to get a valentines package ready now, since I know it might just arrive in time. I did get Danielle registered with day care on post and am planning on using it when I can. It'll help her get socialized with other kids and adults, so she be away from Mommy if I need help or something.
