Here We Go Again

Yesterday we had a family visit to my wife's new OBGYN. That's right, we're pregnant again! Our previous doctor left so yesterday we had our first appointment with Dr. Sam and it went very well. The doctor says that Shayla's measuring 10 weeks and, confirming Shayla's suspicion, she looks big and round! Everything went smoothly - Shayla got some blood taken for testing and a new prescription of Zofran for her nausea. Luckily they also had a few doses of the H1N1 shot which Shayla received since pregnant women are considered high priority for it. We go back once a month until a lot closer to the due date when we have to go every other week (and then eventually once a week).

Taking a step back, Shayla and I had always wanted our kids to be roughly two years apart. Late August we decided we would stop preventing it and... BOOM! Insta-preggo! Now Isabel will inevitably be a big sister. Unfortunately Shayla has probably been sicker than she was with Isabel. Hopefully the worst is over for her this time around.

We won't get our first ultrasound until right before Christmas and we do plan on finding out the gender of the baby. At first I think Shayla and I were both just going along, but now that we've gone to the doctor we are pretty excited!
