I had a goal to have most everything done before September, and yup I am pretty much there.
She's got clothes to last her until 6 months, I have fabric to make her blankets, crib is set up, canvas decorations are done, basically all that's left is diapers (which I'm buying this week) and I'm pretty much set. Although she still needs a crib sheet and a bumper those can wait for a couple months.
But most importantly she has a name. Now most everyone knows her name but before I say what it is I have to say this one has been hard for me. With Brodie we had his name picked out before we even got married, we just knew if we ever had a boy his name was Brodie.
When we got pregnant with her we played around with names and made jokes about the ones we liked to see how bad she can be made fun of, we went threw so many names! About 17 weeks (we found out she was a she at 15 weeks) I told Sam I'd love to have another name ending in ie. he either liked some and I hated them or the other way around. Well one day I was around 26 weeks we came across the name Oaklie, and we both fell In love with the name and it gave me what I wanted. A name ending in ie. I was so excited. Now a lot of people don't believe us because we've changed it so many times but I honestly feel like this is her name and it's meant to be. I haven't thought about changing it and I'm not going to. We couldn't be happier with the name Oaklie!
So this pregnancy has by far been so different then Brodie's, with Brodie I was so beyond sick. I had morning sickness so bad I was constantly in the hospital and I ended up having to do at home iv therapy, I had heart burn like crazy to the point I was on a prescription and honestly I was so miserable with throwing up I didn't notice much else. Now with Oaklie I had morning sickness but nothing like I did with Brodie. I'm not sure if it's because I got ahead on my nausea meds or what but I didn't feel as sick. I did get one iv but that was it. Week 10 was the worst for me but that was it other then my random moments I'd have here and there. With Brodie morning sickness didn't go away until I was 34 weeks, so basically the whole time. With Oaklie I felt sick until around 15 weeks. I still get nauseous but haven't thrown up lately. Only once in a great while. I do get heartburn crazy bad and am on medications. I get really tired a lot and feel like I have no energy. I am already waddling and can't get comfortable when I sleep. With Brodie I got 1 stretch mark and with Oaklie I already have 10. She likes to sit on one of my nerves so my arm and leg are going numb a lot. With Brodie I never had cravings and Oaklie I always want something sweet or sometimes spicy. She goes crazy when I drink Shasta or eat a twix. With Brodie I couldn't eat tomatoes which was sad because I love a good garden grown tomato. Both of my pregnancies I can't eat anything with strawberries, I'll be so sick if I even take a bite or drink anything with strawberries. With Brodie I couldn't of told you if I felt he was a boy or girl before we new the gender but with Oaklie I just knew she was a girl, it was so crazy how I just knew. I thought people were nuts and would just say that because that's what they wanted. Brodie was always a wiggly worm in my belly and Oaklie is always so quiet.
I can't believe we are already down to 9 1/2 weeks, it was going so slow at first and now it's going super fast. I'm so excited for Brodie to be a big brother! And I can't believe I get one of each. I always thought I would have all boys.
Well we can't wait to meet this little girl! October seems so far away but 9 weeks doesn't.
