23 Weeks with baby 2

How Far Along? 23 weeks!

Weight Gain? Around 10 lbs is my guess

Stretch Marks? None that I can see

Sleep? I have good days and bad days. My hips and shoulders have been really achy so sleeping long stretches just doesn't happen.

Best Moment of the Week? Hearing the MFM say I have a pretty cervix....made my day ha ha. So as you can imagine things are still looking god. Next scan is in 2.5 weeks on the 16th with another monthly appointment.

Movement? She has been quieter during the day but I think that is because we have been busy, but she is none stop moving a night.


What I miss? Being able to do things without getting out of breath.

Symptoms: Achy lately...plus more Braxton Hick's Contractions. The Dr. today said just to be aware of them and if they seem timeable I need to call and see if I need to go in.  

What I'm looking forward to? Hitting 24 weeks next week-which is viability...morbid I know.

Weekly Wisdom: Positive thinking that all is going well.

Emotions:Stressed considering this is the time where things happened with Landon. I am very hopeful that this pregnancy will be different!

Until next week!

22 Weeks with baby 2

How Far Along? 22 weeks!

Weight Gain? Probably around 10 lbs.

Stretch Marks? None yet

Sleep? Been sleeping better, but waking up pretty early!

Best Moment of the Week? We got good news at my appointment on Monday. So far, despite alot of contractions, everything is looking great. We got back on the 29th for another cervical length check and a check on little miss. She is breech still which explains why I feel her where I do. 

Movement? She moves all day long!

Gender? Girl!

What I miss? Being able to do things without getting out of breath.

Symptoms: Tired mostly! 

What I'm looking forward to? Our next appointment-going to try to get Logan to be able to go and maybe take the monkey to see her since it is just an ultrasound. He is suddenly very interested in baby sister...especially her wabops, he needs a pacifier intervention.

Weekly Wisdom: I need to remember to drink so much water-especially now that it is in the 90s!

Milestones: Nothing major yet, just trucking along.

Emotions:Just trying to remain positive and take it week by week!

Until next week =)

21 Weeks with Baby 2!

How Far Along? 21 weeks!

Maternity Clothes? Yep!

Weight Gain? Probably around 7-10 lbs.

Stretch Marks? None yet, but my belly looks shiny-I think that is bad.

Sleep? Sleep, I don't do that anymore! I can fall asleep but wake up constantly and am up for the day now at 530. I think Rusty gets up and wanders around and it wakes me up.

Best Moment of the Week? People complimenting me on my belly-at least I look pregnant and not just fat anymore =).

Movement? She is strong and kicks me CONSTANTLY. She seems to be sleepy in the morning and active alot of the afternoon and right before bed. I generally feel her when I get up in the morning as well.

Gender? Girl!

What I miss? Sleeping in-I can't even blame Landon for this.

Symptoms: My left hip has been killing me lately-I think it is time for a trip to the chiropractor.

What I'm looking forward to? Logan may be coming home for the weekend-not 100%, but I am hopeful!

Weekly Wisdom: I am starving lately and trying to make smart choices-nuts, fruit, and avocado have been my go to snacks.

Milestones: No big milestones this week.

Emotions:Just trying to remain positive. I am anxious to see what the ultrasound on Monday reveals in terms of what is going on inside of me =). 

Belly picture: 21 weeks-I feel like a giant.

Until next week!

20 Weeks with baby 2!

How Far Along? 20 weeks!

Maternity Clothes? Yep, I am enjoying all my dresses as it is starting to warm up.

Weight Gain? Not sure this week, but I have been more hungry lately so I am sure it is going up. 

Stretch Marks? Not yet! Using my lotion like last time.

Sleep? Not great, if I am up to use the restroom less than 2 times I consider that a win.  It may help now that my lovely snoring husband is gone for the next  few weeks! ;). 

Best Moment of the Week? Making it to the half way point in the pregnancy!

Movement? She has been quieter the last few days, but overall very active. She seems to be a wiggly and active little girl.

Gender? Girl!

What I miss? Sleeping on my back and belly.

Symptoms: Achy hips and lower ligaments. Everything seems to start so much earlier after the first pregnancy.

What I'm looking forward to? My upcoming appointment on the 19th-so about  week and a half.

Weekly Wisdom: Now that it is warming up I have to remember not to over do it outside and drink even more water (which not sure HOW that is possible) since I noticed some hand swelling this week.

Milestones: Half way point last Thursday.

Emotions: This has been a hard week. I am tired of having Logan gone all the time and I know he is sick of being gone as well. This is the point in Landon's pregnancy things started changing so it is always weighing on my mind of how things are going. I look forward to having Logan around hopefully a bit more next month, but I am not holding my breath.

20 Week belly picture: I think she went through a major growth spurt! 

Until next week!

19 weeks!

How Far Along? 19 weeks!

Maternity Clothes? Yep, a friend gave me some used clothes so I am excited to wear those as well.

Weight Gain? Up about 7 lbs. Not too bad for almost half way.

Stretch Marks? Not yet!

Sleep? Not great, if I am up to use the restroom less than 2 times I consider that a win.  It may help now that my lovely snoring husband is gone for the next  few weeks! ;). 

Best Moment of the Week? Our anatomy scan was this morning, little miss is mesuring right on track and looks very healthy. Everything with me is checking out ok as well!

Movement? Yep, she moves ALOT. Even more than Landon at this stage-Logan has felt her a feel times and he always gets excited.  I haven't let Landon try to feel her yet, I think it may scare him since he won't understand.

Gender? Definitely a girl-confirmed again this morning. She also looks pretty similar to Mr. Landon at this age. Oh and complete drama already-notice her arm/hand over her face saying, no pictures please!

What I miss? Sleeping all the way through the night.

Symptoms: Getting more hungry and still braxton hicks.

What I'm looking forward to? Hitting half way next week!

Weekly Wisdom: I feel better drinking ALOT of water and doing a bit of prenatal yoga seems to help her move around and out of my pelvis and relieving some of the aching I get from her.

Milestones: Almost to 20 weeks! 

Emotions: After a good appointment today, my nerves have calmed a little bit. We have two appointments in the next month, one in a bit over 2 weeks and then another at the end of the month. Both are going to be monitoring the baby and me for any of the issues that came up with Landon.  After we hit 24 weeks, the approach is more treatment based, than preventative. So we shall see what the next 5 weeks bring...hopefully nothing eventful as Logan has a busy summer planned with traveling. 

19 week belly:

Until next week =).
