Congrats on the new pregnancy, Gardens! 
I'd love to be pregnant again, and wonder sometimes if we didn't jump the gun in getting my tubes tied. It still seems unfair to have done that after the ten years of infertility and secondary infertility, but I was highly emotional at the time and hubs was determined that my body couldn't 'take' another pregnancy. *sigh*
I'm also glad that I'm not the only one with a late crawler! lol Or, I assume that is late. MyLinda's reflux was sooo bad that even with meds she would scream and gag if she were lying flat. Now it has finally begun to resolve and she is off meds. She has sat well on her own for half her life, so she moves into the crawl position from sitting, and is 'crawling' in short strings of three or four moves before laying down and rolling onto her back. Oddly enough, she's still convinced that she's stuck once on her back. lol I leave her and coax her to roll over, but her big sissy (turning 8 tomorrow) always swoops in and 'rescues' her, no matter what I say. lol I'm pretty sure that is partly why we're taking so long. hehe
MyLinda does love to walk around though. A month or so ago it was just holding hands, but now she wants to stand as often as she can, and scoots along holding onto anything she can get her hands on. I don't have much around for her to do that with, so she tends to stay in the same areas. lol
We're still EBF for 90% of her nutrition. She won't take more than 4oz of purees in a day generally - every so often the occasional 2oz extra at night, but that's once in a blue moon. Her teething threw off her latch about a month ago though, and so I've been struggling off and on with a bleb and seem to get blocked once a week because of it. I have tried lots of tricks, but seems like while lots of thing help it (ish), nothing fixes it. I think once her latest teeth get all the way through we can hopefully establish a new latch. We're up to seven now, with tooth #8 on the way. I am SO jealous of mom's who haven't been through all of this yet. MyLinda got her first two at around four months, and then got the fifth (one of the 10-16mo incisors) the week before last. Then last week she got her top two and the remaining bottom lateral incisor, just in time for me to discover this week she's working on the top LI's.
She just cut one yesterday, and is still cranking her butt off, trying for that (what I hope is last for a while) tooth. Yikes!

lol. And I'd go for the blood tests! I did, in fact, lol. I told the dr I really wanted to make sure things were ok since we had to go through infertility the first time and would feel better if I had the double hcgtests so she ordered them for me! And I did it purely so I could guess how far along I was since we only bded twice the whole cycle and I didn't want to go in for an early ultrasound if I wasn't going to see a hb yet. 
So here it goes again....
