In pregnancy updates, I honestly have had no issues, I have puked a total of 5 times, I only gag about 4 times a week where as with E, it was several times a day. I have had excessive saliva that doesn't seem to be going away, I have been craving peaches and pickles. I think I have probably gone through 6 jars of pickles within the last 6 weeks. Still no weight gain which is great, although I do feel that I am starting to show sooner, I still fit into all my clothes although lets face it, Mat jeans are A LOT more comfy, especially now that I am running around an 11 month old all day! I seem to need a break/nap at around 2:00 pm which is working out great with E, we just lay together on the couch and both pass out for at least and hour, sometimes more :) I am the one that usually gets up and E occasionally sleeps for two hours while I cuddle him and watch TV. I have had very itchy legs and I remember having itchy legs with E but it was very mild, with this pregnancy I have scabbed my skin because I scratch so hard. I used AVENO lotion and took AVENO baths with E but it does not seem to be helping with this one, my back pain is also a lot worse this time and I am already having trouble sleeping :( I think I might ask the Doc to send me to therapy. They had suggested it with E but I didn't think it was that bad , this one however is so bad that if I lay flat on my back on the floor, I have a hard time sitting back up from the pain, it shoots down my legs, and sometimes I have a hard time standing up straight or walking without there being pain. Not sure what the deal it but I will have to say that this has been the worst part of this pregnancy. I have also had more headaches but I believe that they are mainly because I need to get my wisdom tooth pulled and the fact that I still get up throughout the night with E.... Yes that is right he still does NOT STTN!!! But Tylenol seems to be working fine with the headaches so that is an easy fix. I started feeling baby flutters Thursday of last week! I was in shock and couldn't believe it but I guess it is a lot more noticeable the second time around, I knew what sensation I was looking for :) I guess that is all for now, I really don't have much updating since this pregnancy seems to be pretty mellow (which I am loving) I am really enjoying it!
I have been getting a TON of questions from people so I am going to answer them here instead of answering the same questions over and over ;)
What do you want? Ummm... a healthy baby! Ok, not that this is dumb question because in reality it's not, but honestly we really don't care what we are having, I just want a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. Sure, sure everyone that knows me knows that I have always wanted to be a girl mommy. Believe me I am all about ribbons and bows, ruffle butts and dresses but after having E, I realized how much of a boy mommy I really am. I would LOVE to have another boy especially after going through all of E's newborn clothes I realize how bad I really want to use it again! So whatever God decides to bless us with, we are already excited about him/her.
Where you planning this pregnancy? Yes and no if that makes sense, we planned to officially start trying in May. I was however telling people it would be later on in the year so they would stop bugging us. We started getting the "When are you having the next one" pretty much as soon as E was born. So we weren't officially trying but we also stopped being "careful" around the time E was 6 1/2 months. So we got blessed a month early! :)
Do you have baby names picked out? YES!!! The baby names have been picked out for a while now, we have had our Girl name since before ever even getting married, and we have had a our boy name since E was born. If the baby is a girl, her name will start with an "M" and if the baby is a boy his name will start with an "E"... No we are not giving the names out just yet. We got a lot of "suggestions" after announcing Eli's name last time that we are choosing not to share just yet.
Are you having a natural birth or a C-Section? Ummm... this one is still up for debate. Since I feel I was robbed out of my natural birth with Eli, I would LOVE to have a vaginal birth this time around. We have already talked to my OBGYN and I am able to try for a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) which would be awesome, however the hospital that I delivered E at does not do VBAC's :( which I am so bumbed about, the two hospitals that do them are about 45 minutes away. I am absolutely in LOVE with our hospital, I go there pretty much ever Friday for my support group and I honestly just feel like I am at home there! Weird to feel like that at a hospital I know but It is a Catholic hospital, while I was there with E (and we were there a while) I had someone come in daily and pray with me. They have "Tea Time" every day during the week which I LOVED, I know several of the nurses there already and I know the lactation consultant. My OBGYN also does deliveries there where as if I went to one of the other hospitals, I would get an OBGYN from the same office, but not mine. Mark also does not feel comfortable with it and would prefer that we do another C-Section. Soooooo... this one is still up for debate. I guess we still have a few months to really think about it and decide on what we want. ***Crossing fingers that for some miraculous reason GM decides that they will do VBAC's in the VERY near future*** :)
How is this pregnancy in comparison to E's? EVEN BETTER! Go ahead be jealous! :) I have felt even better!
Are you scared with having two under two? Honestly I don't know how to answer that. I think I have a little fear as to how things are going to work out, and how to get a routine going with two, but hey I was scared with E as well so I am just going to take it day by day, I am not the first and only and God does not send anything your way that you can't handle :) Besides I have an AWESOME hubby who is very involved. We already have it worked out... you take one, and I take one! Haha j/k!
Are you planning on finding out the gender? Uhhhhh.... what kind of a question is that!!!! YES!!!! Anyone tha knows me knows that I can't take surprises! I want to know! M on the other hand wouldn't mind waiting but since I am the one bearing this child... WE WILL FIND OUT! :) We should have the Big ultrasound sometime in August!
What do you think you are having this time around? I honestnly really feel it's another boy! The pregnancy has been very similar to E's! They say that EVERY pregnacy is different but I really haven't felt it, there have been some minor changes but nothing major yet. We do still have 2/3rds to go though so we will see. But I do feel it's a boy, but who knows I was possitive E was a girl! Haha
And now here is our baby this week!
Your fetus is forming teeth and vocal cords... savor this, their non-functional phase. Baby is approaching normal proportions, with a head now only one third the size of the body. Intestines are in the process of moving from the umbilical cord to baby's tummy. (Much more convenient.)
Fingerprints have formed on your baby's tiny fingertips, her veins and organs are clearly visible through her still-thin skin, and her body is starting to catch up with her head — which makes up just a third of her body size now. If you're having a girl, she now has more than 2 million eggs in her ovaries. Your baby is almost 3 inches long (the size of a medium shrimp) and weighs nearly an ounce. (Length: almost 3 inches, head to bottom.)
