Pregnancy Week 26

Black Friday! This is the beginning of the best time of the year! Holiday movies, shopping, gift giving, cookies, family, Santa, and the list goes on and on! I was out at 3:30 a.m. to kick-off my holiday shopping! I got some great deals and then met Jason, Joe, and his mom for lunch!  What a great day! In addition I have two appointments this week so I will get to see and her my new baby boy! I have my glucose test and an ultra sound!

Pregnancy Week 23

IT'S A BOY! Finally, we know our newest addition will be a baby boy! I am so excited to have two little boys so close in age, or at least I think it will be fun! I might be crazy in a few years. We had our gender reveal party on Oct, 28 and it was a blast. I will soon create a post with all of the pictures and games from the party! I can finally say I was right and Jason was wrong, he really thought we would be welcoming a baby girl this Spring! Mother's intuition is always right:) Having a great week celebrating our new baby boy!

It's a boy!

Joe loves the blue balloon!

Who: Me and my TWO boys! One is 19 months and one is the size of a mango this week.

What: Gender Reveal

Where: Week 23

When: Nov 2, 2012

Why: We all wanted to know the new baby's gender! And see how big my belly is getting:)

Pregnancy Week 22

This is the week we have all been waiting for! I had my ultra sound and baby looked great. Jason and I decided to wait until our gender reveal party to find out the sex of the baby, so we just had the nurse write the sex in a sealed envelop! The baby was really shy, kept their arm over their face for most of the ultra sound. I had my OBGYN appointment later in the week and the Doctor thought the baby looked great. There is small concern about how low my placenta is, so I will go back for another ultra sound at the end of November. The baby heartbeat was 146, this week.

I have been feeling great and can't believe how quickly this pregnancy is going!

Week 22

Who: Me (Zookeeper), Joe (Monkey), and new baby (Spaghetti Squash)!

Pregnancy Week 21

Pregnancy Week 19

This week has been a little ruff, Joe gave me the cold he has had for the last week. So I have been feeling a little under the weather, I try not to any medicine during pregnancy so you could say I am MISERABLE! I am hoping to be feeling better next week! Other than this cold I have been nursing, things have been going well. Also, we are one week closer to see our baby at the ultra sound:)

Pregnancy Week 18

Things continue to go well this week! I am happy to report I feel great. I am craving all sorts of sweets and could eat a half gallon of ice cream on my own but is that something to complain about. We are very excited to have scheduled our anatomy scan at the end of the month! I can wait to see my baby and make sure everything is going well, in addition to finding out what this new addition will be!BOY? GIRL?

Wow! I feel like this pregnancy is flying bye. I probably won't be saying that in a few months but with work and a toddler, I can't believe we are almost half way! This week has been a great one! I can tell you Fall is in the air which is giving me cravings for pumpkin everything. I just made a great pumpkin brownie recipe that I will have to share soon.

What a crazy busy week! I am actually late in getting this post up, but as they say better late than never! I have been working tons of soccer games, so maybe this baby has a future as a soccer player! I guess we will have to see. One thing I know for sure this baby loves peanut butter cups, I dream about peanut butter cup blizzards and sundaes! Other, than my dreams of candy I have been feeling very good.

Pregnancy Week 15

Week 15

This week has been relatively uneventful. Overall, I am feeling much better which is fabulous but I miss the reassurance that morning sickness gives you ( I know that is crazy even as I type it). I am still feeling tired and have discovered that the hormones have made me even more opinionated than I already am which is trouble for everyone that must deal with me!

Who: That is me & my belly! Can you see it!

What: This has been a great week! I dream of snickers and peanut butter cup sundaes!

Where: Week 15

When: September 7, 2012

Why: This was a beautiful day to continue documenting my pregnancy! I can't believe the Fall season is here!

Pregnancy Week 14

Week 14

Who: Me again! and baby too!

What: This was a ruff week for baby and I, I am glad to be feeling better and look forward to next week!

Where: Week 14

When: August 31, 2012

Why: I am proud to have gotten my picture 2 weeks in a row! Hope to be back again next week.

Well this week started out rough, I got the flu! At first I thought my morning sickness was back in full force but by the end of the weekend my husband had got the same thing. So unless he is pregnant and we are gonna be on our own reality show, I assume the flu hit our house. Once we recovered the week has been great! I got a little of my energy back and I have been craving snickers ice cream bars! I forgot just how wonderful those ice cream bars are.

Pregnancy 13 Weeks

I am 13 weeks into my second pregnancy and finally feel like a human being again. It is funny prior to this pregnancy whenever anyone asked me about being pregnant I raved about how wonderful my first pregnancy was. I would say it was like a dream, I did mention my morning sickness during the first three months but it was a small bump in the road. Now that I am pregnant again I remember that small bump in the road was more like a road closed sign! My morning sickness is like a 13 week hangover that you don't recover from, I do no vomit I just feel terrible all day long. Another pesky symptom that I quickly forgot about was how tired  a person is during pregnancy. As I approach my second trimester I hope that lifts but every pregnancy is different or at least that is what I am told.

Who: Me and my baby bump

What: Most days I feel good!  No more lying around all day.

Where: Week 13

When: August 24, 2012

Why: I just go back from my last OBGYN appointment everything was great and I got to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time! So it is time to start documenting my belly progress.

During my last pregnancy I took weekly pictures of myself but I did not add the week in the picture which has made putting my belly book together difficult. For this pregnancy it is my goal to take weekly photos with the number in the photo so the belly book will be easy to put together.
