Hi everyone. This is my first post in WTT. Here's a bit of background about me.
I have 1 daughter, Aimee. She was born September 4, 2012 by emergency c-section. I found out I was pregnant on July 15, went for an ultrasound July 25 and found out I was 23 weeks 6 days pregnant. We thought maybe around 11-12 weeks since I had irregular periods and that was the guess based on blood work. I was on the pill when I got pregnant, but had stopped it shortly after and figured I got pregnant in that time, but was wrong. We quickly started to prepare for baby, when we found out at 28 weeks that I had pre-eclampsia and was put on hospital bed rest. My daughter was born at 29w5d.
We are starting to think about baby #2. Now that our daughter is 14 months, I am looking at going back to work (I just finished college when I had Aimee). I need to get 600 hours in so I can get maternity leave pay next time. Once I find a job, we will wait 4-6 months and then start trying. I have baby fever bad and really want to find a job asap so we can start trying soon. I'm also terrified because of my first being a preemie. I am determined that baby #2 will make it to at least 37 weeks. We really want to have a boy so we have one of each.
