Something that I've regretted a bit about my pregnancy with Gage is that I didn't document it better. I wish I would have taken more pictures, recorded my symptoms, and written down my thoughts on a weekly basis. So, I'm so happy I have this forum to record my pregnancy this time around!
While lots of things have been the same this time, a lot has been different too!
Symptoms:
-The fatigue is back! Ugh haha. I am constantly sleepy, can't wait for it to pass! Different this time around is that I'm having difficulty sleeping. Last time I could nap like a champ, but now I toss and turn all night, regardless of how tired I am.
-New this time, nausea. Its still very minimal (thank goodness) but it chooses to hit me around 1 in the morning. So, also not helpful with symptom number one.
Food:
Just in the last couple days, I've been going through this thing where I'm starving, I eat, then I feel mildly sick. It doesn't seem to matter what I eat either. As far as craving, this baby LOVES scrambled eggs with cheese and ketchup!! cantgetenough! I've also had my fair share of grapefruit juice, which isn't something I normally like.
Appearance:
I feel like my belly has had an instant roundness to it this time. Not that you can really tell in that picture :) And my skin has cleared up! I hope that keeps up throughout this pregnancy.
Randomness:
-Being pregnant the second time is tougher for sure. Chasing a toddler doesn't give you time to really relax and enjoy it. But, it certainly makes me more active!
-No feelings one way or another on gender yet. Many people are cheering for team pink. I think hubs is cheering for team blue again :) It'll be a while before we find out!
-My due date as of right now is January 4th, but for some reason January 15th is sticking in my head. I hope for the little ones sake that it is closer to the middle of the month, just to give a little buffer after the holidays :)
-At our ultrasound, the tech said the baby is the size of a gummy bear, so now we affectionately refer to baby as 'gummybear'
That's it for now! I'm looking forward to recording the journey this time :)
U look gorgeous...as always. I am so happy for you guys. Gage is going to be an awesome big brother. Sooooo excited!!!
