Bumpdates Baby #2: Week 9

7/24/13

eww don't mind the dirty toothpaste mirror, its been cleaned :)

How Far Along:  
9 weeks, we've reached official fetus status

Size of baby:
A green olive  

Total Weight Gain:
Down 3 lbs, probably due to the constant upset stomach and food aversions!

Stretch Marks: 

None

Maternity Clothes:
nope  

Gender:
Dunno

Movement:
None.

Sleep:
So tired. I could pretty much nap every few hour right now.

What I miss:  
Food sounding good.

Food Cravings:   

Watermelon is still delicious.  Pretty much anything cold and 'fresh'.  Mom had some garden cucumbers that were fantastic the other day!

Food Aversions: 
Baby is still a coffee hater, only took a few days to really kick the caffeine headaches to the curb from the withdraw!  I've experienced a lot of "oh that sounds good" get it on my plate and I can only manage a few bites.  Hoping that doesn't last the whole pregnancy!

Symptoms:
Still nauseous, still exhausted.  Incredibly unmotivated to do much of anything.   I even called into work on Monday cause I was in such a funk between the tired and the sick!

Best Moment This Week:

First Dr. Appointment was on Friday.  I don't know why but they are incredibly stingy with ultrasounds here.  So we won't get to see baby other than at the anatomy scan somewhere around 18 weeks.  Bummer.  But he said so far everything looks good, he said my uterus is the size it should be at 8 weeks and due to the fact that I have a tilted uterus that I may just wake up pregnant sometime between 10 and 12 weeks when my uterus decides to tip forward like its supposed to be.  Yay for hiding it while I can!

What I’m looking forward to:  

We decided that we will tell our family & friends about the pregnancy this weekend at Addison's birthday party.  By way of her getting a "big sister" shirt as one of her gifts!  Interwebz announcement to come soon after.

 Addison:
We've still been not saying much about it to her, we wanted to prevent a toddler slip-up of her telling anyone.  She was pretty set last night that she would like a baby brother but this changes from week to week.

Bumpdates: Baby #2: Week 7

7/10/13

How Far Along:  
7 weeks

Size of baby:
A blueberry

Total Weight Gain:
None

Stretch Marks: 

None

Maternity Clothes:
nope  

Gender:
Baby doesn't even know yet.

Movement:
None.

Sleep:
Still no problems sleeping but it's starting to hurt to sleep on my stomach, almost like a full bladder have to pee feeling but not.

What I miss:  
Not feeling bloated like crazy.

Food Cravings:   

Guacamole is one of the only things that sounds delicious to me right now, and like when I was pregnant with Addison - STEAK :)

Food Aversions: 
nothing specific, just a lot of stuff that doesn't sound good.

Symptoms:
Feeling tired has hit me this week for sure, I could crash out right now.  Definitely some morning time nausea this morning that had me wanting to call into work (that and being off work 6 days will almost always make you feel sick when you have to go back!)  

Best Moment This Week: 

Not blabbing my pregnancy to everyone, especially when they kept me on the go, go, go and I was feeling pretty exhausted at the end of the day....man keeping a secret is HARD.  I'm pretty sure we will wait to announce until after my Dr. appointment on the 19th.

What I’m looking forward to:  

That Dr. appointment, and my next work vacation....

Addison:

Bumpdates: Baby #2 Week 6

7/3/13

How Far Along:  
6 weeks

Size of baby:
A pea

Total Weight Gain:
None

Stretch Marks: 

None

Maternity Clothes:
nope  

Gender:
Baby doesn't even know yet.

Movement:
None.

Sleep:
I have NO problems here

What I miss:  
I missed being able to drink like an idiot on our canoe trip last week, but it wasn't so bad someone had to drive home after all 

Food Cravings:   

nothing

Food Aversions: 

none yet, I'm actually feeling less hungry than normal

Symptoms:
some mood swinging around here, a little cramping, and starting to feel more and more tired.  Oh man how I was tired last pregnancy.  Hoping I can keep up with Addison this time!

Best Moment This Week: 

Scheduling that first Dr. Appointment.  July 19th!

What I’m looking forward to:  

Being able to tell people!  I had to hold my tongue today when another girl at work slid out that she was pregnant.  I told my co-worker because I have to for my job related situations but other than that so far it's hush hush.  I'm not sure how long we will wait to announce it to the world but we may tell our families earlier this time, we haven't really talked about it yet. 

Addison:

"Addison, do you want momma to have a baby?"  "NO, I want you to have a girl and I will have a boy, we're gonna have sisters!"  

Bumpdates: Baby #2: Week 5

I wasn't blogging back when I was pregnant with Addison so I have nothing other than weekly photo's to document my pregnancy.  This time around I'm going to try and keep up with weekly updates as well as photos

Sorry for the bathroom mirror at work photo, I actually don't have a tall mirror at home..remind me to clean off my dresser so I can use that mirror!

How Far Along:  

According to my LMP (last menstrual period for those of you not up on your pregnancy forum acronyms, also what date they use to determine your due date if you don't know exact date of ovulation) I should be 5 weeks. Due to the fact that I didn't test positive until a week after my period was due, my due date may actually be later...we shall find out whenever I go to the doctor...speaking of which I need to schedule that today.

Size of baby:
an Appleseed(these will all be according to The Bump's Food comparisons)

Total Weight Gain:
None.

Stretch Marks: 

None. (well that's a huge lie, leftovers from Addison count?  There will probably be no bare-belly shots this time!)

Maternity Clothes:
nope.  So not looking forward to an entire new maternity wardrobe since this babe will be the complete opposite weather of a July babe.

Gender:
Baby doesn't even know yet.

Movement:
None.

Sleep:
I have NO problem sleeping right now, head hits the pillow, I'm out!

What I miss:  nothing yet 

Food Cravings:   

nothing.

Food Aversions: 

none yet, these were huge for me with Addison!

Symptoms:
So far the only symptom aside from bitchyness has been sore boobs, like stab me with a knife sore.

Best Moment This Week: 

Getting a positive test!  Seriously if one more friend told me they were pregnant before me I was gonna punch them.  lol.  I want what I want when I want it. (and I wanted this baby 7 months ago ;) )

What I’m looking forward to:  

I'm interested to see how this pregnancy will be the same/different than my pregnancy with Addison.  I can't wait for the first appointment to hear the heartbeat (if I got to get an u/s again that would be awesome)  that appointment always makes it feel real.  

Addison:

I'm torn between if we should tell her and make a big deal about it yet or wait until we are closer to ready to tell everyone.  I mean she's almost 3 and definitely capable of blabbing about mommy having a baby to people we just aren't ready to tell yet!   But if you ask her if she wants a little brother/sister she happily exclaims "Yes! I want a sister!!"  Girl loves her some babies.

 

Ready or Not....

6.24.13

Round Two!!!

Can  you see those faintest of faint possible lines?  Yeah buddy. 

We decided to finally be "ready" for a baby #2 a couple of months ago, you know Addison is almost three, that means no chance of kids super close in age.   While an almost 4 year age gap isn't what I ever thought I wanted, when it came down to it until about seven-ish months ago I was just not ready to do it again!  I barely feel sane on a good day, I can't imagine how you momma's with multiple kids under 3 do it!!!   

Anywho, When we got pregnant with Addison we decided we were ready, tried for a month, the day before my peroid was due, I took a test.  It was positive as could be, no doubt.  This time around, we didn't get pregnant the first month.  This month my period is currently 6 days late, 6 fricken days!  I've taken enough pregnancy tests that I could have bought something pretty awesome with the money I've spent at this point.  Today I took one this morning, negative.  Took another one tonight cause I'm slightly freaked by being 6 days late and no positive test, seeing how my peroid is one thing that my body NEVER blesses me by skipping, and it for sure had two lines.  Albeit that pregnant line is light but it's there.  So I peed on another brand, another super slightly faint line.  All signs point to pregnant.  (I will test again in the morning to make sure it darkens up)  I was starting to think something was wrong with my old ass!  :)  

Yay babies.  This should be a late February babe, you know the complete opposite weather as all my maternity clothes!
