Anything making you queasy or sick? Walking by the raw meat at the supermarket. I still can't stand the smell!

28 Weeks Pregnant With Baby #2!

How far along: 28 weeks. Last trimester, here we come!

Total weight gain/measurements: 10 lbs as of Monday.

Maternity clothes: Absolutely. Almost everything I wear is a maternity item. The medium sized t-shirts are starting to get a little snug

Stretch marks: No new ones, YAY! Still using Bio-Oil in the morning and Palmer's Cocoa Butter at night.

Sleep: Been waking up a couple times a night to use the restroom and usually stay awake after Tim leaves for work about 6:45 a.m.

Best moment this week: Went to the doctor on Monday and got to hear little munchkin's heartbeat. That's a sound I love hearing. We also had a lot of fun taking Harper trick-or-treating. We just took her to Tim's parents' and grandparents' house since it was so cold but she liked picking her candy out.

Miss anything? Not being in pain as this baby gets bigger.

Movement: Lots of it!

Food cravings: Nothing in particular.

Anything making you queasy or sick? Walking by the raw meat at the supermarket. I can't stand the smell!

Gender: We don't know yet. Baby has not cooperated the last couple ultrasounds we had. He/she has had his/her legs tucked right were the tech has needed to look.

Labor signs:None

Symptoms: Sore boobs, peeling nails, fatigue, sciatic nerve pain, and lately upper abdominal pain. I think its my muscles moving to make room for the growing belly. Tim got me a maternity girdle last night and I have felt a lot better today.

Belly button in or out? Still in, but barely.

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy for the most part, but I can loose my patience pretty quickly these days.

Looking forward to: One of my best friends' wedding this weekend!!!! Last I checked my bridesmaid dress still fit.

 

Harper's crib was converted to a toddler bed today. So much easier to get her in and out of.

Here is my 28 weeks update when I was pregnant with Harper!

 

17 Weeks Pregnant with Baby #2

How far along?  17 weeks

Total weight gain/measurements: Not sure, I guess we shall see in a little over a week since we don't have a scale at home.

Maternity clothes: Absolutely. Almost everything I wear is a maternity item.

Stretch marks: No new ones! Still using Bio-Oil in the morning and Palmer's Cocoa Butter at night.

Sleep: Has been awful while in San Diego. I kept waking up with my hips killing me. I did sleep amazing last night in our bed at home with my Bump Nest Pregnancy Pillow.I think I only woke up once and I was soooo comfy.

Best moment this week: Being in San Diego! I absolutely loved it out there and would go back in a heartbeat. Before we left I told Tim I didn't want to leave. Maybe we can go back some day just the two of us. It was also in the mid 70s while we were there which has really put me in the mood for fall! Anyone else?

Miss anything? Sleeping in my bed with my wonderful pillow. I leave tonight for another bachelorette party in Nashville. Would it be wrong if I took my pillow with me?

Movement: Nothing really this week.

Food cravings: Bagels and butter popcorn with salt.

Anything making you queasy or sick? Walking by the raw meat at the supermarket. I make Tim go get any raw meat we need. I can't stand the smell!

Gender: We don't know yet but Tim and I both think we are having a boy.

Labor signs:None!

Symptoms: Sore boobs, peeling nails, and feeling tired a lot.

Belly button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy for the most part, unless I'm hungry. Then I get HANGRY!!!!

Looking forward to: Bachalorette party this weekend then relaxing at home the rest of the week. Oh and getting my hair colored on Tuesday with a more fall-ish color. A little nervous since I have mostly stuck to being blond so hopefully I'll like it.

And here is a comparison when I was pregnant with Harper and now with baby #2!

16 Weeks Pregnant with Baby #2!

 Here we go again with baby number 2! We shall see how well I keep this update! Also the lighting in the room is awful! We will have to try and take pictures during the day from here on out.

How far along?  16 weeks

Total weight gain/measurements: As of 2 weeks ago I was down 2.5 lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight. I had a cold with a sore throat and a three week cough. It stinks that you can't really take any medication when you are pregnant to help. We don't own a scale at home so there is no way for me to know what my current weight is. I guess we will have to wait and see at my next doctor appointment at the end of the month.

Maternity clothes: I'm wearing maternity shorts and some shirts. When I first found out I was pregnant I bought a bigger pair of regular shorts, which are a little too snug now.

Stretch marks: No new ones! I was really bad last time about putting on lotion to help with that but this time around I use Bio-Oil in the morning and Palmer's Cocoa Butter at night. I'm still trying to get my old stretch marks to fade some more.

Sleep: Hasn't been the best, I have a hard time falling asleep no matter how early I get up. However, I got a Bump Nest Pregnancy Pillow last week and it is really comfortable. We have also been transitioning Harper to her crib so that also has me up a couple of times a night. Baby steps.....

Best moment this week: Coming back from a bachelorette party in Nashville and getting to see both Tim and Harper. I did miss them while I was away from them over the weekend.

Miss anything? Having a beer or glass of wine.

Movement: I think this week I finally felt the baby move. I can't wait until the movements get stronger!

Food cravings: Bagels and butter popcorn with salt.

Anything making you queasy or sick? Walking by the raw meat at the supermarket. So gross!

Gender: We find out on the 24th! I can't wait to find out so I can begin working on the nursery!

Labor signs:None, thank goodness.

Symptoms: Sore boobs and feeling tired a lot, but that may be just because I have a one year old to chase around all day. Also my nails have been peeling and breaking really bad, which was the exact opposite from when I was pregnant With Harp.

Belly button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time: Both. So sorry Tim.

Looking forward to: Going to San Diego. I have always wanted to go to California and we get to go this week since Tim has a conference out there. SOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!
