Baby #2: 15 Weeks!

These weeks are just flying by! Anyone else feel like that or is it just the pregnant one feeling like time is flying?

Here are a couple things I've noticed are the same and a couple different from my pregnancy with Our Darling Girl and now:

  • Same: nauseous/vomiting daily, craved cold & salty foods in the beginning
  • Different: migraines, starting to crave mostly sweet things, heartburn with first pregnancy and NONE so far, I'm not gaining weight (midwife is totally on board with this plan) this pregnancy so far
Want to start guessing now about gender?

Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 15 Weeks
Size of baby: Naval Orange
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Lost 2 lbs overall
Maternity Clothes: Maternity pants all the way, but mostly normal shirts
Gender: ???
Movement: I don't think I've felt anything really this week, maybe one or two tiny flutters when I'm really trying to feel something
Sleep: I have surprisingly mostly slept through the night this week!
What I miss: Enjoying sleep comfortably
Cravings: Hm....baked potatoes & BBQ, either separate or together!
Symptoms: Forgot to mention this in past posts, but sometimes when I'm nauseous, I sneeze! Finally figuring out how to control my nausea (thank you, Zofran!), and I'm going on 2 weeks completely gluten free with no migraine yet.
Best Moment this week: Feeling great this week! Got to spend time with friends that I have missed and actually enjoyed my week :-)

Baby #2: 14 Weeks!

SECOND TRIMESTER! WOOHOO! Everyone told me that already having a little one running around makes the next pregnancy go by quicker...they weren't kidding!

Want to compare to my pregnancy with Our Darling Girl? Click here!

Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 14 Weeks
Size of baby: Large Lemon
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Lost 2 lbs overall
Maternity Clothes: Pretty much can only comfortably wear maternity pants and a few of my shirts are still good to go! Definitely need to do some more shopping!
Gender: ???
Movement: Maybe a couple of flutters, but nothing major
Sleep: Getting up once in the early early morning but usually can go back to sleep just fine!
What I miss: GLUTEN! 
Cravings: Chocolate milk, ice cream
Symptoms: Another migraine this week...and still nausea/vomiting; no heartburn yet!
Best Moment this week: Hm...weeks when you have a migraine there isn't much to brag about. Best moment I would say is having a hubby who is able & willing to drop everything and care of sicky me & ODG when absolutely necessary...even cancel important meetings! 

I *MAY* get brave and take a "bump" picture next week or soon...we'll see how I'm feeling :-)

Baby #2: 13 Weeks!

Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 13 Weeks
Size of baby: Peach
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Lost 2 lbs overall
Maternity Clothes: My Old Navy maternity clothes came in! Just a couple pairs of pants, shirts, PJ pants, and a vest for when it gets colder. More shopping in my future!
Gender: ???
Movement: Maybe a couple of flutters, but nothing major
Sleep: We're chugging away sleeping...biggest hindrance is the hubby's snoring!!
What I miss: GLUTEN! 
Symptoms: No migraine this week...just morning (all day) sickness and minor headaches.
Best Moment this week: Found baby's heartbeat at home then had our first midwife appointment and got to hear it again! 

We got to ride on this "Speeder Train"...I promise ODG is happy...she just didn't want a picture taken :-)

Later that day, ODG had one of her besties come over to play and of course they were princesses!

Stopped in the pumpkin patch before heading to the apples. Y'all...you actually pick pumpkins off of the VINE in Washington! 

Picking Honeycrisp apples with Kaki

Relaxing after a long swim at the hotel

Our family at my birthday lunch...oh yea, I had a birthday!
