I have been feeling very well compared to my first pregnancy. I'm a little more tired than normal but I'm not sure if that's from being pregnant or just working full time and caring for a toddler catching up to me. I have absolutely no other symptoms which is a bit unnerving. At least last time I definitely felt that there was something going on. This time I literally forget once in a while (for minutes lol) that I'm pregnant. I'm not complaining, because if everything is going well in there, this is wonderful. One thing I did notice actually a couple days before my BFP was that my left eye became a bit blood shot and dry. It continued and then last week both eyes became red and dry. They just feel a bit irritated. I googled this and apparently it can be a pregnancy symptom. I'll take it over nausea!
I had my thyroid re-tested last week , exactly 6 weeks after I started taking the levothyroxine and good news - my TSH was down to 2!!! The recommended level for pregnant women is less than 2.5 so I am thrilled about that!
I know 5 other pregnant girls right now. One is my BFF. She got her BFP 10 days before me. 3 out of the 5 know the gender (my BFF and I excluded! We'll both have surprises!) and 2/3 are having boys. I wonder if it will be another year of the boy like 2013 was. Everyone I know who had a baby around when my son was born, had a boy!
Finally, I've been thinking a lot about what I will need once I have two babies. So far here's what I've come up with:
-a van!!! I was struggling to get my son's stroller into the trunk the other day... I can't imagine a double stroller plus 2 kids in the back seat... How would I get groceries or a Costco load home?!
- a double stroller. I love our bob revolution and would love the dualie but it's not practical for shopping, too wide. Will I need 2 double strollers?! Ugh
- video monitor, we didn't have one for our son but I would have appreciated it, especially when we were sleep training him... Now it will be good for judging urgency because I'll have another child to care for too! Maybe I need one that can hook up to two cameras
- this is a silly one, but before my son started daycare and around when they say babies start to choose comfort objects, I bought my son these little giraffe "a pair and a spare" blanket/stuffies. They were expensive but my son now LOVES them and having 3 the same is so helpful. One for school, one for home and an extra. I was looking at other options for these and once we know everything is progressing normally I'm totally ordering the Dalmatians for our little bean!
That's it for now!! Any insight on vans/strollers/video monitors or any other 2nd baby essentials?! Comments are welcomed!
