A Sweet Potato

still -2 lbs

Nothing that wasn't Addison induced

Maternity Clothes:
Give me all the maternity clothes!

Gender:
Dunno yet, soon soon!!

Movement:
yes

Sleep:
hes been crap this past week with all the pain from my wisdom tooth I'm lucky to sleep a 3 hour stretch without waking up from pain.

What I miss:
my mouth NOT hurting, its been a vicious week. I have an appointment next Tuesday to have this bad boy extracted, until then it's me and tylenol 3

Food Cravings:   

nothing crazy this week, been limited to stuff that I can manage to open my mouth to chew!

Food Aversions: 
nothing right now

Symptoms:
aside from the random round ligament pain I'd say my mouth took over any noticeable pregnancy symptoms this week!  

Best Moment This Week:

Heard the baby's heartbeat 157 at the appointment on Friday and scheduled our Ultrasound! MONDAY the 30th which is also our anniversary!

What I’m looking forward to: 

Monday's Ultrasound so we can finally know what sex this baby is!

Bumpdates: Baby 2: Week 17

 Apparently it time for another mirror cleaning.  This is the happiest look your gonna get from me today since I feel like I was socked in the jaw.  Pretty sure I'm having wisdom tooth issues (of course while pregnant).  And I get to wait till tomorrow to see the dentist..Oh yay!

How Far Along:  
17 Weeks

Size of baby:
An Onion

Total Weight Gain:
Still at -2 lbs in the mornings, in the evenings I've almost gained a pound.  I wish I had kept track like this with Addison so that I could compare.  I know I felt a TON better when I was pregnant with her and didn't lose weight until later in pregnancy and then it was only a few lbs which came right back.

Stretch Marks: 

Nothing that wasn't Addison induced

Maternity Clothes:
 See last week, but I'm sure to be rocking maternity jeans from now on, the others just can't give me comfort!

Gender:
Dunno yet, soon soon!!

Movement:
Still just randomly feeling movement, have been getting lots of weird pulling feelings when I turn my torso far in one direction and stretch to reach something, like knock me on my ass feelings.  Which I guess is round ligament pain, Never had that with Addison!

Sleep:
I'll always take more.

What I miss:
nothing right now

Food Cravings:   

Had more of a sweet tooth lately, and as last time I want chewy candy, ie. starburst, twizzlers, jelly beans.  This baby really likes Dairy as in I've drank more milk lately than I have in the past 10 years. And been on a big soup kick this week.  If you haven't made this : Lasagna Soup you should, it is pretty delicious, even better when you add cottage cheese to the left overs. yum.  

Food Aversions: 
nothing right now, I can even drink coffee again after I've been awake for a while.

Symptoms:
been getting motion sickness which I've never experienced before, mostly when I ride on the bus or in the van home from work.

Best Moment This Week:

finally feeling more normal and able to function like myself!

What I’m looking forward to:  

Friday's Appointment

 Addison:
"Doesn't want a girl, I want a baby brother like Audrina & Harker"

Bumpdates: Baby 2: Week 16

You get two pictures this week, cause the baby bump looks way different depending on what angle you get to the mirror!

How Far Along:  
16 Weeks

Size of baby:
An Avocado 

Total Weight Gain:
up 5 lbs from the 7 that I lost for a total gain of -2lbs, told you that eating every 2 hours was going to catch up!

Stretch Marks: 

Nothing that wasn't Addison induced

Maternity Clothes:
 I still don't have to wear them but they are definitely reaching the point where they are more comfortable than my regular jeans. I like my shirts to be tight fitting when I'm pregnant, I don't know why but loose an billowy just make me feel more huge so I will continue to rock my normal shirts until my belly can't be fully covered or I fear that I am stretching them out.   I will be sure to be rocking the Maternity pants within a few weeks! 

Gender:
Dunno yet

Movement:
positive that I'm feeling little kicks and jabs the past few days 

Sleep:
So sleepy.

What I miss:
not feeling 'normal', always something with this pregnancy!

Food Cravings:   

nothing in particular, but been on a subway kick, cold lunch meat & pregnancy rules be damned. I'm eating my sandwich!   

Food Aversions: 
Getting a ton better, not much that I can't eat now, just sometimes I can't eat very much of it before I decide I don't want it.  (ie. coffee which I want to drink oh so badly, I can barely drink a whole cup!)

Symptoms:
body aches (I blame a tough work week on that), some serious abdomen pain randomly, a little nausea but huge improvements this week, sleepy.

Best Moment This Week:

Kicks and jabs from baby Frankenstein

What I’m looking forward to:  

Appointment next week & scheduling my ultrasound so we can start playing the name game.

 Addison:
Still insistent on a baby brother like her friend Audrina!

Bumpdates: Baby 2: Week 15

How Far Along:  
15 weeks

Size of baby:
A Navel Orange

Total Weight Gain:
Down 7lbs, I'm fairly certain that this cannot continue.  Especially since I've been making myself eat every 2 hours to ward off the sick the past 3 days.

Stretch Marks: 

Nothing that wasn't Addison induced

Maternity Clothes:
 I wear scrubs to work so I won't have to wear maternity clothes for a while if I don't want to, I can still wear my normal clothes for the time being so long as being insanely comfortable isn't my top priority.  Otherwise I'm not ashamed to wear the maternity stuff even if I don't technically HAVE to :)

Gender:
Dunno yet

Movement:
I may be feeling the beginnings of pokes and jabs, so hard to tell cause it hasn't happened a lot yet.  

Sleep:
Still pretty wore out. Need more uninterrupted sleep.

What I miss:
Not feeling nauseous every day, hello 15 weeks time to get over this shit.

Food Cravings:   

everything, I'm hungry!

Food Aversions: 
still improving here, I wish I could drink and entire coffee, still only able to drink about 1/2 a cup before my stomach says noway Jose.  I want all the pumpkin!

Symptoms:
Tired, nausea, the need to eat things the second I think about how delicious they sound :) 

Best Moment This Week:

Feeling what I think is baby movement

What I’m looking forward to:  

Knowing what sex this baby is so we can start talking names.  Make it seem more real.

 Addison:
Nothing new on the big sister front this week, she's still in the not quite getting it stage where she can tell me that there is a baby in my belly but I don't think she knows what it means yet.
