14-16 weeks: Baby #2

11/29/15
How far along? 14 weeks
Maternity clothes? a mix between the two
Stretch marks? I found new ones :( But that's what happens when the belly grows faster
Sleep: still on progesterone, so once I can actually fall asleep, I'm good
Best moment this week (or the past few weeks): felt baby moving around Thanksgiving
Miss Anything? life without heartburn and hip pain
Movement: little taps and flutters every few days
Food cravings: not much
Anything making you queasy or sick: nausea after I eat
Have you started to show yet:  oh yes, there's no hiding this one, although I've only gained about 4lbs so far (way different than C)
Gender prediction: I have no clue now.  I thought boy in the beginning, but now I don't know.  I want another girl, Andrew wants a boy

12/6/15
How far along? 15 weeks
Maternity clothes? yes, unless it's leggings or a non-maternity shirt that is more flowy.
Stretch marks? yes :(
Sleep: ok,  but now waking up every few hours to flip over because my hips hurt.
Best moment this week (or the past few weeks): seeing our Marquette family and telling them about baby!
Miss Anything? eating without feeling nauseous after, being able to work out (or have the energy to)
Movement: little taps and flutters every once and awhile
Food cravings: fruity candy (skittles or fruit snacks) and cheese, crackers, and chorizo (or some other sausage, SO not like me)
Anything making you queasy or sick:eating in general
Have you started to show yet:  very much so.  I'm sporting an 18-20w bump that I had with C.
Gender prediction: ???

12/13/15
How far along? 16 weeks
Maternity clothes? good God yes
Stretch marks? yes :(  This belly grew too fast
Workouts: BarreAmped and Knocked Up Fitness Prenatal Sculpt
Sleep: insomnia at its finest
Best moment this week (or the past few weeks): After a scare this weekend with some bleeding due to a hemorrhage, we were thrilled to be able to see our healthy, growing baby on the ultrasound!
Miss Anything? sleep
Movement: little kicks and punches here and there.  Definitely different from the tiny bubbles a few weeks ago or even at this point with C.
Food cravings: nothing
Anything making you queasy or sick: most anything.  Food is still not my friend (which is why I have only gained 3lbs).
Have you started to show yet:  Oh yeah.  I'm sporting C's 22w bump.
Gender prediction: I really have no clue at this point.  We're just happy with a healthy baby.

Dear sweet baby,

You have no idea how excited and thrilled we are to have you.  I'm so happy that you are growing big and strong!  After the bleeding I had this weekend, I wasn't sure what to expect (even though I checked on you with the Doppler every day to make sure you were still beating in there).  We breathed a huge sigh of relief to know that you are doing good and the hemorrhage isn't affecting you at all.

Your big sister is getting so excited to meet you!  She has been practicing with her baby dolls. She's definitely in for a rude awakening (we all are), but she will be so happy to have you.

Keep growing!  We can't wait to see you again at the 20 week ultrasound!

love,
mama
