And we have a heartbeat!

As most of you already know we found out we are pregnant again on Memorial day (my mom's birthday). Today, we went to the doctor for our first check up. Now, prior to this if I haven't told you in person I had been thinking and having dreams that I was pregnant with twins! Also, Jane (Chris' mom) had a dream that we were having quadruplets! So needless to say, we were anxious to find out how many heartbeats we would see. While yes, twins would be crazy hectic part of me thought for about a few seconds "that could be fun once we got the hang of it!" It didn't take me long to snap out of that thought and back to reality and then freak out about the possibilities all over again. But, we got in there and thankfully there was only one heartbeat. Dr. Blair had a hard time finding the baby because apparently I had a rather full bladder much to my dismay and MANY trips to the restroom today! My projected due date is February 6th, but since we had complications last time which lead to a c-section this time will be a scheduled one and most likely the last week of January. If you're wondering if I'm disappointed about this the answer is, sort of. I definitely don't want to go through all of that only to end up in the OR again. But, it would be nice to have the possibility of a "normal" birth experience. I guess normal for me will be c-section. Oh well. So hopefully more updates to come if I can remember to get on here and keep it up. :)
On another note, we are currently trying to figure out the best way to transition Melanie to a "big girl" bed. She isn't showing any signs of wanting to climb out of her crib, but we are wanting to use it for the baby when he/she arrives. Her crib converts to a toddler bed and then to a full. So the plan is to bypass the toddler bed stage and go to her own full, give the baby the current furniture and when he/she is about her age if there isn't another Kubala in the making we will use the nursery furniture as a full size bed in the guest bedroom. Make sense? If you have any tips please let us know. We are also dabbling with when to start potty training too. HELP!!! LOL
