Adam & Becca: Pregnant:)

We found out we were pregnant in august and we have been ecstatic ever since. I started getting sick earlier this time and was nauseated and throwing up at 4 1/2 wks, which is only less then one week after we found out. I had to get fluids 2-3 times this pregnany and I feel like the throwing up got to where my body was in a cycle. I would throw up 7-10 times a day, but most of the time at night, the same it was like with Olivia. I started taking zofran and famotidine and then started vit b complex. The vitamins helped out a little, but I think the key this pregnancy was the prevacid I started later on, once I started taking them my throwing up dramatically slowed down and eventually stopped around 25 wks.
It was really hard taking care of Olivia while I was throwing up, but at the same time I felt blessed to have this precious child in my belly. It is definitely an amazing thing and I am grateful I am able to get pregnant and have healthy babies. It definitely is the hardest thing physicically and emotionally for me, but I know it has a great reward in the end.... a gorgeous baby from our Heavenly Father.
Olivia started saying baby, but I don't think she realized a baby was in there until the sonogram and when my belly started growing. She now kisses my belly everyday and wants to say "hi" to the baby. She will be such an amazing big sister! We found out it was a girl at my work. I had the ultrasound tech come down and the nurses and doc were all gathered around as they checked to see what it was. I didn't want to find out without Adam so I closed my eyes as she wrote the results on a piece of paper and put it in an envelope. I called Adam as soon as we did it and told him to come over so we could open the envelope together. He came over, but I soon found out my co-workers played a trick on us. They had written lots of different results and put them in multiple different envelopes. I warned Adam we didn't know which one was the right envelope, but he was a excited when we saw "boy" written on the paper. We then found out that it was the wrong envelope and it was definitely going to be a girl. We were surprised, but he definitely was excited about adding another little girl to our family.
Adam is such an amazing dad to Olivia and I know it won't change for the next one. He is always having daddy-daughter dates and spending such quality time with Olivia. She loves how he reads lots of books to her at night and sings to her, even when he forgets the words, and gives her juice when she is in bed and not supposed to have it.... In other words, Daddy is the best in a daughter's eyes, especially Olivia!!
I am now 28 wks and feeling pretty good with the nausea, but I am started to have quite a lot of contractions. One day I had them all day then I was woken up in the middle of the night with low back pain, it scared me quite a bit, so I tried to stay low that weekend and they went away. I have them a lot at work, but I have to keep working so that we can stay on my insurance for the baby. At the end of my long 12 hr shifts, I get contractions from even standing up or walking 5 feet. It worries me, but I am trying to rest on the days I do not work..... which is definitely hard when you have a 2 yr old. Adam is the most supportive husband and is always cleaning the house and telling me I need to rest and watch a movie. I sometimes feel so spoiled to be married to such a caring and compassionate person, I am so lucky!!!
I have seen a lot of sad things regarding pregnancy at work recently and I have started to build some fears. My biggest fear is that this cute little baby will come too early, so I am hoping and praying that does not happen. We like the name Asia. I think it will be a great tribute to her daddy, who served a honorable mission to Taiwan and who fell in love with the culture and people there.
