I am now 17 weeks and 4 days!! Wow.. how time flies!!! Last Saturday I started to feel the baby move!!!! It is such an amazing feeling!! What a humbling thought that God has allowed me carry such a miracle!!! Having a small little life inside of me just amazes me each and every day!!
We had a doctors appointment on March 16th and we were able to hear the heartbeat for the first time!!! It was 158 beats!!! What a blessing to be able to hear our little baby's hearbeat!! Ariella got to be there to hear it and she said something while we were listening but just not sure what that was :) We look forward to our next appointment on April 15th which is only 6 days away!!! Ariella will be able to be there and see the baby!!! I know that I will cry when I am in that room looking at my daughter Ariella and looking at our baby in my womb!!! I hope that we will be able to find out what the sex of the baby is!! The lady who does the ulrasounds is so sweet and very good at what she does!!
I am starting to feel much better now and I am able to enjoy my time spent playing with Ariella. I still am having to watch myself and not overexert myself. John and I went camping for our 5 year anniversary on March 19th- 21st!!! We went hiking and that was probable to much for me... my muscl in my upper left leg hurts when I wdo too much walking. I don't let it stop me. I just take some Tylonol and keep on going!!

I am now 11 weeks!!! It is hard to believe that I am almost 3 months into this pregnancy!! I am still getting VERY tired playing with Ariella, but it is sooo worth it!!! I just hope that I will start feeling better soon!!!
I got really tired today while I was at the yard sale/ bake sale. It went well, but Tiffany and I didn't get to much money:( I hope that a lot of money was made from the rest of the stuff that was sold!!
Yesterday was a little tiring as well. I tought my Sabbath school class and I get out of breath really easily!! I am just glad that the moms are so understanding!!! I love my kids in my class, but it is a lot of work!!
I am going to try to take Ariella to the park at least once or twice this week!!! Until next week I will try to rest!!

I am now 10 weeks and 4 days!!! It has been really hard not feeling good. I am so looking forward to having better days!!! I just feel bad because I don't feel like playing with Ariella very much :( I am so glad that she can play well by herself!!!
I went to our first prenatal doctors appointment yesterday! I have not gained any weight... so I am very excited about that!! I had a TON of bloodwork done. The nurse took like 8 viles of blood. I am so glad that they only do that once during the pregnancy!!! I was so glad that the Dr. Sweeny said that everything looks good!!! We are not going to do any testing for Down Syndrome. We just feel that GOD will give us what we can handle. We have our next appointment on March 16th. We get to hear our baby's heartbeat!! We will get to see our baby on the ultrasound around John's 3oth Birthday!!! We are so excited!!
I am so glad that everything is going well with this pregnancy!

We are now 8 weeks along in this amazing process!! Today was a rough day for me, but I got through it. I do have a little bit of a belly now. I am hoping to not be sick anymore !!! It is hard when I am trying to watch Ariella and I don't feel good. I love her so much and I hope that I won't be to tired to play with her when I get further along.
I am so anxious to go to my obgyn on February 17th!! I don't know why, but I get worried about the baby. John tels me that our baby is fine!!! I am taking my prenatal vitamins and I am eating healthy. I just want our baby to strong and healthy!! I can't wait to see he heart beat and possibly hear it at our appointment.

So I am feeling good so far this week!!! I had a great day on Tuesday with the school kids at SciWorks!! When I got home my body decided it was going to rebel. I all of the sudden felt like laying down on the couch and not moving!! The first couple of weeks in both of my pregnancies are somewhat rough for me. I am finally starting to not feel as sick during the day. I am also begining to have more energy. Although, I still run out of breath easily when I go upstairs.
I am so excited about this pregnancy!!! I am showing a little bit now and that makes it more real!! Being pregnant is such a blessing from GOD and I am so thankful that HE has given me this opportunity!! I have enjoyed being a mommy to my sweet angel Ariella Marie!! She is so sweet because I will say "give baby a kiss" and she will lean into my belly and make a sweet noise and smile!!! It just warms my heart!! I know that they will be the best of friends!!!

So, I just made an appointment for February 17th at my OBGYN's office!! I will be 10 weeks along in my pregnancy. I am assuming that they will do an ultrasound to see how far along they think that I am and see how strong the heartbeat is!!! John and I are so excited to go to the doctor!! It will be soooo exciting to see our little baby!!! I just wish that the appointment would be sooner!!!

I am so excited to be pregnant with my second child!!! John and I were not really trying, but the Lord blessed us with a child!!! We are both so excited to be pregnant again!!! I enjoyed being prego with Ariella and I am looking forward to this pregnancy. I am so excited that Ariella is going to be a Big Sister in September!!! I know that she will be so sweet with her baby brother or sister, because she loves to give baby Vanessa lots of kisses and sweet loving!!!

Both pregnancies have started out the same way... I am 6 weeks along now and I have felt very nauseous and tired. It is hard feeling that way and still having to take care of a 14 month old... busy little girl!! I have started to feel a little better, but I still get tired easily.

We told John's parents on Friday February, 15th and we told my parents and grandparents and my brother and sister-in-law on Monday Febuary, 18th!! I made his parents a cute little card that said BIG CHANGES on the front!! I then made these cute little menu's for all of my family because we went out to eat to celebrate my dad's birthday... everyone really loved the idea. Both of the mothers were very suspicious because I had not been feeling well. My grandmother also was a little suspicious too!!!

We are planning on telling all of our church members soon. We are just hoping to go to the doctor first!!!
