Weeks 10-13: baby #2


11/1/15
How far along?10 weeks
Maternity clothes? no, but pants get tight at night
Stretch marks? yes/no.  Still the ones from C, but I think they might be getting darker
Sleep: up a few times a night with C
Best moment this week (or the past few weeks): finding baby's heartbeat on the doppler!
Miss Anything? energy
Movement: no
Food cravings: no
Anything making you queasy or sick:certain smells and random foods turn me off
Have you started to show yet:  so much bloat!  It's getting harder to suck in, but it's all bloat
Gender prediction: I really really want another girl, but I just know it's a boy
Labor Signs: no
Symptoms: fatigue, nausea, bloat, headaches, dizziness
Belly Button in or out? in
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy (with the occasional mood swings).  I breathed a sigh of relief when I was able to hear the heartbeat on the Doppler that I bought.  I have been able to find it consistently every time I check.


11/8/15
(This pic is no baby and all bloat. I wish I would have sucked it in)
How far along?11 weeks
Maternity clothes? still trying to hold off, but might break down to buy a belly band (which I never did with C for some reason)
Stretch marks? trying to keep them at bay
Sleep: progesterone still knocks me out, but Charlee has been waking up one or two times a night
Best moment this week (or the past few weeks): We got a surprise ultrasound when I went for my 10w finger prick and flu shot!  I had some cramping the week prior and my OB asked if I wanted to do an u/s just to check.  Charlee got to see her baby brother or sister on the big tv and hear the heartbeat.  We have a picture on the fridge that she likes to say "hi" to.
Miss Anything? feeling like myself.  I just feel rundown most days
Movement: I thought I felt little bubbles popping the other day, but I know it's still early
Food cravings: ugh nothing
Anything making you queasy or sick:eating too much, eating too much sugar, smells
Have you started to show yet:  the bloat is real.  I can't wait until it's actually baby because I'm tired of playing the "fat or pregnant" game.
Gender prediction: I'm really thinking it's a boy, especially after the u/s and seeing where the placenta is (based on the Ramzi theory).
Labor Signs: none
Symptoms: fatigue, dizziness, out of breath, nausea
Belly Button in or out? in
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: This week was a happy week! (with some tears thrown in)  Happy to know that baby is doing well and has a strong heartbeat of 173 still.  Charlee talks about the baby just about every day and knows there's a baby in my belly (although now she thinks there's a baby in her belly and dad's belly too). 



11/15/15
How far along?12 weeks
Maternity clothes? no, but I did buy a belly band to hold up my pants at the end of the day (I never had one with C, just went straight to maternity)
Stretch marks? no
Sleep: insomnia and then a toddler with a cold, enough said
Best moment this week (or the past few weeks): getting to hang out and play with my sweet Charlee Bear
Miss Anything? not being nauseous after eating
Movement: For two nights around 9pm, I felt a tapping on my uterus (where baby usually hangs out)
Food cravings: NONE
Anything making you queasy or sick:food
Have you started to show yet:   lots of bloat
Gender prediction: ???
Labor Signs: n/a
Symptoms: fatigue, nausea, moody
Belly Button in or out? in
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: I bounce between the two.  Getting ready for big sister's 2nd birthday party has been exhausting, but so much fun creating a special day for her!


11/22/15
How far along?13 weeks
Maternity clothes? no, but I think we have to put away the button jeans 
Stretch marks? no new
Sleep: insomnia and a toddler who wakes up at 4:50am on the dot. Every. Morning
Best moment this week (or the past few weeks): getting to see Baby at our 12w u/s!  Charlee was not too thrilled (we had a rough morning before the appointment and Daddy had to work), but she was happy to have the pictures.
The not so great thing was finding out that my hemorrhage is still there, but we get another quick ultrasound at our 16w appointment.
We also told Glammy, Pops, Grandma, and Grandpa about baby
Celebrating Big Sister Charlee for her 2nd birthday party!!  We had so much fun playing with all of her little friends and eating donuts. :)
Miss Anything? eating without feeling yucky
Movement: not this week
Food cravings: NONE
Anything making you queasy or sick: eating
Have you started to show yet:  YES.  Holy cannoli, it's getting harder to suck this in.
Gender prediction: ??? still leaning towards boy
Labor Signs: none
Symptoms: same as every week
Belly Button in or out? in
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: a mix.  This week was a little stressful with the ultrasound and getting everything ready for Charlee's party.  But we are very happy to be moving into the 2nd trimester and can breathe a bigger sigh of relief.
