Being pregnant again at the exact same time of year that I was two years ago is a trippy experience. Although we live in a different place and I have a different doctor now (with a much more ghetto ultrasound machine compared to my last OB's) all the same stuff keeps happening at the same time. Today I had my second appointment with my OB for Baby Laughton #2, and just like with Charlotte at this age, the doctors couldn't find a heartbeat with the Doppler and had to do another ultrasound. (See my blog post for February 15, 2008--two years ago yesterday, when Charlotte was only four days older than this baby.) Not that I am complaining ... Even though I couldn't see that much thanks to the crappy ultrasound machine my current doctor has, it was still reassuring to see the little head and the tiny hands and feet and see the heart fluttering. Eight more weeks or so until the "big" ultrasound when we will really get a good look at him/her.

I know what you mean about the baby deja vu. Marissa was born on the 6th and this one is due on the 5th. Glad to know your peanut is still beating.
grow baby grow!!
I hope I get a 12 week ultrasound...glad to know your little one is okay. You should post the heartrate, old wives tale says if it is higher like above 160ish, it is a girl, and lower it is a boy. Of course they are usually wrong, but still, it's fun..It's fun to be preggers at the same time!
It is very weird being pregnant at the same time again. My due dates were just 18 days apart and my kids ended up 13 days apart. The nice part is being able to share clothes, they end up being the same size at the same time. What was really weird was being at the hospital and having all the same nurses again!
Wahoo! Hurray for more Laughtons
