I thought I would do a little update on this pregnancy, I was so much better about doing updates when I was pregnant with Milly but this time I am a little bit busier chasing around a 2 year old. I am 25.5 weeks right now. We are having another girl! I'm so excited! The names we like are Emmy, Claire, and Jenna. Emmy is our Favorite though. I found out I was pregnant when we were in Virginia, and we had been trying for about 8 months so I wasn't really surprised when I found out. Just THRILLED and a tad nauseous. I actually started feeling sick a couple nights in a row and thought it was probably something I ate cuz I was still a week away from even missing my period. But I went and bought a test and waited a few more days and got a positive test. All of that was so different from how things went with Milly. A few weeks later I started spotting and my dr put me on what I call a "relaxed" version of bed rest and he also had me taking progesterone and when I started spotting he upped my dose big time. I was pretty sad that we couldn't go and do all the fun site seeing things in virginia and DC because of all this. One day we will go back and get to see it all! All I have to say is I was terrified and grateful for my husband and to have at least 1 wife out there in our office. My Dr had me go to a Dr in Virginia and have an ultrasound done to make sure the baby was ok. Sure enough the baby had a good strong heart beat and was measuring right on schedule. I was 8 weeks at the time. I spotted for another 2 weeks and a few weeks after that we headed back home to St George. We found out at 16 weeks that we were having another girl. She looks just like her sisters profile did in her ultrasounds. I have had morning sickness again the whole time just like I did with Milly. A couple weekends ago I ran out of zofran and I couldn't get another prescription till the following Monday and that ended up being a terrible weekend. If I take half a zofran before bed I wake up feeling totally fine, if I don't I wake up a lot earlier then normal puking my guts out and continue to puke for the rest of the day! No fun but so thankful for medicine to help me feel better!
I started feeling the baby move around 15 weeks. I also started to show a lot earlier this time!
So far I've gained about 15 pounds! (Go me! Lol) I'm hoping I don't have gestational diabetes this time around! Crossing my fingers! I have my glucose test next week.
I crave everything I see! Lol I have been craving a lot of sour candy, french fries, and a really good cheese burger! Not that cheap McDonald's crap but frost top queen burger or in and out double double is soo good to me! Gross I know! I haven't been a good meat eater since BEFORE I got pregnant with Milly.
I do have a lot of heart burn this time again so I'm hoping little sister has as much hair as big sister did!
I have had a lot more sciatic pain this pregnancy. I'll say this, giving birth does a number on your body and I am feeling a lot more pain this time then I remember feeling with Milly. But at this point 85% of my day I feel GREAT! And I am really trying to enjoy it as much as possible! I know I only have about another month maybe month and a half before I really start to get uncomfortable!
On to the pictures!
