13 Weeks with Baby #2

 

 

How far along: 13 weeks 5 days (in the picture)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: + 5 pounds (according to my home scale)

Maternity clothes: I'm still able to fit into my normal clothes with the assistance of a blanqi and belly belt :)

Stretch marks: None

Sleep: Great!

Best moment last week: Josh and I celebrated 4 years of marriage!  We spent our actual anniversary at home with a romantic (INCREDIBLE) steak dinner where we read our wedding cards, danced to our first dance song and enjoyed each others company.  On Saturday he took me to Del Friscos for the first time... the food was to die for and we had such a wonderful time just getting to relax and talk. 

Movement: Yes, but less than before.  I think my sickness has made it harder to feel the flutters.

Food cravings: Salty foods.  I've been on a trail mix kick lately :)

Gender: We have our hunches, but won't have confirmation for 2 more weeks.

Labor signs: None, and hoping to keep it that way for a LONG TIME.

Belly button - in or out? In.

What I miss: Feeling healthy.  This whole immune system down thing during pregnancy is no fun.  If it's not sinuses, its respiratory, if it's not that it's a stomach virus.  I just can't seem to get well.

What I am looking forward to: Finding out the gender in two weeks!

Milestones: Moved into the second trimester... Just trucking along!
 

12 Weeks with Baby #2

How far along: 12 weeks 6 days

Total Weight Gain/Loss: + 5 pounds (according to my home scale)

Maternity clothes: I'm still able to fit into my normal clothes with the assistance of a blanqi and belly belt :)

Stretch marks: None

Sleep: Pretty good, just not enough.

Best moment last week: This past week was SUPER busy with two doctor appointments and lots of excitement.  Since Josh was out of town, my mom was able to go with me to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time, that was incredibly special.  On Thursday we went to our first high risk doctor appointment where we got to see our little miracle on a flat screen tv!  It was punching the screen, bouncing around and loving the attention from the "camera."  Everything looks incredible so far and we are measuring exactly on for an April 29-30th delivery!

Movement: Yes!  I've felt the baby move two or three times now since 11 weeks.  It's like a big butterfly that's stuck inside of me flailing around :)

Food cravings: Salty still.  This past week was peanuts and peanut butter!

Gender: We have our hunches, but won't have confirmation for 3 more weeks.

Labor signs: None, and hoping to keep it that way for a LONG TIME.

Belly button - in or out? In.

What I miss: Having energy to do anything... like clean, or be a wife/mommy.

What I am looking forward to: Finding out the gender in three weeks!

Milestones: Past the twelve week mark and almost into the second trimester!!!
