Baby #2 - Week 6

Today's date: November 21, 2014

How far along: 6 weeks

Total weight gain: 1lb

Size of the baby: 0.25 inches - size of a sweet pea :)

Sex: Too soon to tell!

Maternity clothes: None! ...yet. I live in leggings :)

Sleep: Sleeping well at night, until I am wide awake at odd hours of the night. Been waking up at 5am every morning, though.

Best moment(s) of the week: When Gabrielle kissed my belly! Also, out of nowhere (I was putting her boots on before we left to her gymnastics class) she said "love you, mommy!" Melted my heart, <3

Movement: Nadda.

Food cravings: Mac and Cheese, pasta, potatoes, and now pizza.

Food aversions: None this week. I haven't tried a grape since last week ;)

Morning sickness: Felt sick about 3 times this week. One time was pretty bad. I had to stop what I was doing, find a jolly rancher (all I have to ease the nausea) and go lay down and fall asleep. That was a close call!

Symptoms: Tired all the time. Little attitude going on. Dry right hand, what? I also had a little encounter with bleeding. I was a little crampy one day and when I went pee, I wiped and there was a little blood. Just dull looking. I kept wiping and a little clot was on my tissue. That scared me. But no further blood has shown up. :)

Labor signs: Too soon.

Belly button in or out: In.

What I miss: not feeling like I'm PMSing 24/7 :)

What I'm looking forward to: Thanksgiving!

Sleep: Sleeping well at night, until I am wide awake at odd hours of the night. Been waking up at 5am every morning, though.

Best moment(s) of the week: When I put Gabrielle to sleep, I always lay beside her and I rub my belly and say hi to the new baby.

Movement: Nadda.

Food cravings: Mac and Cheese, pasta, potatoes. Carbs!!

Food aversions: Grapes. Makes me feel like I need to throw up, ew!

Baby #2 - Week 4

I had every intention on having Gabby hold the sign and be sitting up on the bed. She wasn't feeling it until she saw me taking a few pictures, running back and forth, then she wanted to be in it...just not holding the sign still haha. So as you can see, I had to prop the sign up on pillows. I'm sure this won't be the last time I have to do it this way. I would love for her to be in every photo, but if she doesn't want to, I won't make her. :)

Now, onto the survey.

Today's date: November 4, 2014

How far along: 4 weeks

Total weight gain: Not sure yet. I just weighed myself so I will answer this next week. :)

Size of the baby: less than .1in ; size of a poppy seed.  

Sex: Too soon to tell!

Maternity clothes: None. Still just regular clothes but I can feel my pants are already getting tighter. Whaaat.

Sleep: mild insomnia. Otherwise, sleeping good. 

Best moment(s) of the week: Finding out I was pregnant! Got my BFP November 3, 2014!!

Movement: too soon.

Food cravings: pasta with red sauce--not like spaghetti sauce--but like a good vodka sauce. My grams MAC and cheese, I make it at least once a week! Also wanting veggies.

Food aversions: Not all that obsessed with coffee like I usually am. But that's ok, caffeine is a no-no during the 1st trimester, for me, anyway. 

Morning sickness: I get nauseas every now and again. Nothing too crazy.

Symptoms: exhausted! Dizzy, forgetful, already in nesting mode--I swear! & i've experienced the metal taste in my mouth a few times.

Labor signs: Too soon.

Belly button in or out: In.

What I miss:  my coffee/caffeine addiction lol

What I'm looking forward to: Our first doctors appointment (December 18th) when they will be able to give me a better due date and how far along I really am. I'm just winging it but we think this will be an early July 2015 baby :) 

I decided to not show belly just yet. As I am still chubby from my first pregnancy, plus when I stopped breastfeeding, I gained about 10lbs. Yikes. So I'm starting this pregnancy 14lbs heavier than last time. Once I actually look pregnant, I'll do a few bare belly shots. :)
