123 and then they were 4...

Here we are. Almost 16 weeks into it and the "second kid" is already getting the "second kid" treatment.
This pregnancy was a neat surprise. We were recuperating from the loss of a pregnancy when we moved to NJ and all of a sudden "BOOM" we are at it again and very excited. Excited, yes but also afraid. Any person whom has gone through a miscarriage is marked forever and any other go-at-it comes with a decent amount of fear.
I always heard that every pregnancy is different, and even though I honestly don't remember much about the first one, (another symptom of motherhood: I've become dumb and slow) this one is definitely different. Or maybe not, again I don't remember and I have to constantly ask Ed for references.
I've lost like 7 pounds because I don't have an appetite. Which is sorta OK because I gained a lot of weight after I slowed down on the breastfeeding but still I have to eat healthy. Add to that that I am working again from home while Liam is away for 3 hours in Nursery school and that to cook you need time and desire to cook (meaning I will eat something if its put infront of me but if I have to cook it... yuck!)
Next week  I will go and get the second part of the "old lady who wants to have a baby test". Meaning they scare you to death with some percentile crap that should give you an idea of your chances to have a kid with Down Syndrome or other kind of issue. We got and "intermediate risk" and by the time they explained how they get to that "result" I had already cried in the car and made my husband come home early from work. All in all, I actually tested very well (for my old lady age - 35) but they still make some more tests to confirm you will be fine or to scare the heck out of you again and give you more choices that get even scarier.
Right now I want to relax and enjoy the fact that everybody is healthy and happy so I can concentrate on the fun part... Buying cool stuff and deciding on the name!  More on what 16 weeks is like...
