So many changes

So with baby number two on the way Danny and I have decided to hang out here in CT for another school year.  Moving with me 6-7 months pregnant is just not something that we've been able to figure out how to be comfortable with.  We got our due date finally figured out, August 20th.
This pregnancy has not been going so smoothly as our last.  I had nearly no symptoms last time around.  This time, I'm horribly tired most of the time.  I've got a bit more nausea too and this horrible metallic taste in my mouth that I just can't seem to shake.  I made some slow-cooker kielbasa and sauerkraut for dinner so I have temporarily gotten that horrible taste of pennies out of my mouth.
I had a feeling that it'd be too good to be true if this pregnancy went as smoothly as the last.  I've just been so out of it.  I haven't been cooking as much or cleaning as much, our house is pretty much in a permanent state of disarray at this point.  I occasionally get a wind long enough to get a little something done but I have pretty much resigned myself to just trying to hold out until that 12 week mark and pray that I get a nice second trimester wind.
I am really excited for this baby though.  I don't have much to buy this time around.  I'm considering a glider but we don't really need one, our poang really has a lovely soft bounce to it and is great for nursing.  I have been trying to figure out what it is that I could possibly use but I can't for the life of me think of much.  I know something will come up last minute and I just know that it'll be right when I least expect it.  I always think of things last minute.  I swear sometimes my brain doesn't function unless it's under that last minute pressure(great for paper writing, not so great for real life when trying to planning ahead).
Well, my little wind of writing energy appears to be dwindling.  I'm gonna say tootles.
  

Crazy days of Christmas...

It's only Tuesday but I feel like it's so much further in the week.  Danny and I went to Target to get the some of the last of Joey's Christmas presents last night.  She's been asking for a new piggy bank since she broke her old one, so we found her a cute on.  The only thing that we want to get for her still is an easel and they have one just her size at IKEA for $15 so I think we're going to try and get that this week.  I got Danny some little surprises for Christmas day and I've been really good and I haven't tried to open my present yet.  I may actually make it until Christmas.
I had my obGyn appointment today.  They say that I am indeed pregnant and I have an ultra sound appointment set for next Wednesday to get a more accurate due date since I'm not positive of which Friday of two possible to use to get the accurate measurement.  So, we'll have a for sure due date next week.  Then my next obGyn appointment will be in January so that I can get what I need to sign up for WIC again.  Which I am totally stoked to do again, especially since I found an office here in West Haven that I can go to instead of having to fight with downtown New Haven traffic.
Danny and I are still trying to figure out what to do about our plans for Colorado.  Right now I think we're still thinking that we're going to move in May or June barring any medical complications on my part, I think.  I think one of our biggest fears at this point is whether or not we'll be able to get health care in time for the birth.  Particularly since I'm not so much a fan or going for a VBAC and a C-Section is rather costly.

The Big News...

This Palm Trio is soon to be a Quartet.  Danny and I just found out that we're expecting baby number two probably sometime in August.  I know family, one more August baby.  For those of you who don't know...nearly everyone in our family has an August birthday.  My father and grandfather, my sister and mother-in-law, my daughter and now, our newest little is due in August and our newest niece or nephew is due in August as well.  That's a lot of August babies.
I have my doctor's appointment to confirm this little's estimated arrival time tomorrow afternoon.  It's rather fortuitous that I already had a yearly appointment set up just when I'm due to hit 8 weeks.  Joey and Danny want a little girl but I want to have a little boy with curly brown hair like his Daddy.  I'm looking forward to being pregnant again.  I really enjoyed myself last time, until the last month or so.  But this pregnancy is already shaping up to be very different than my first.
More to come later as we get more news and what-not.  But that's all for now.
