Pregnancy Update
This is not a picture of me now. It is actually a picture from week 19 when I was pregnant with the Little Guy. I'm hoping to get a picture in the next week or so and then I can put them up together so I can compare pregnancy 1 and pregnancy 2.
Here are a few of my stats from pregnancy 2. I wasn't great at remembering these things for my first pregnancy so I wanted to be better this time around. Clearly I'm not doing a great job since I don't even have a current belly shot!!
17 Weeks 2 Days
Weight Gain: 1-2 pounds (I couldn't remember where I started when I went in the first time!)
Sleeping: as often as I can! This pregnancy has wiped me out. Thankfully my little one is a good sleeper. He takes two good naps each day and sleeps a solid 12 hours at night. I nap at least once with him and sometimes twice. I swear running around after him all day wears me out and it has probably kept me in better shape this time around!
Craving....fruit and donuts! I'm indulging one of these! I gained WAY too much weight last time around so I'm trying to be really careful this time. I don't NEED the fruit like I needed OJ with my first pregnancy (some of you readers will remember my obsession with the orange stuff) but I want it all the time. I especially like fruity carbonated drinks. I've found a 2-calorie drink out here that I love! I also sometimes mix OJ with carbonated water to get my fix. I do not want anything to do with meat. It all sounds gross to me, especially burgers which are usually my favorite!!
Other Symptoms....carpal tunnel! I don't have it as bad as some of my other expecting friends but I wake up often with no feeling in either hand. I know I can't sleep on my back much longer and then I'm afraid of what will happen once I have to sleep on my sides!! I've also had heartburn a lot more this pregnancy. I had it last time but not until I was about 33ish weeks.
Baby....I'm just starting to be able to feel those sweet little baby swishy feelings. I love it! I can't wait until the Little Guy can feel them too!
Other random things....we find out the gender of this sweet baby on December 13th! I can't wait!! My sweet husband is not the name enthusiast like myself so he insists that we can't discuss names until we only have 1 to narrow down! It's going to be hard either way!
So far I haven't had to wear any maternity clothes. I do think running after the Little Guy has helped keep the weight off. I was SO nervous when I was pregnant the first time to do anything remotely physical because I was afraid of a miscarriage or something happening. I don't have any choice but to run after this little man and he is a busy guy! We've been filling up our day with zoo visits and walks to the grocery store!
Here is the 19 week shot from last time. I'll try to get a comparison shot up soon!
