17 Weeks | Our Little Pomegranate | Baby T #2

17 weeks

How far along: 17 weeks

How big is baby? Pomegranate

Symptoms: Had nausea free days even without the B6/Unisom so hoping I’m on the upside of this yucky feeling! Although I sleep muuuch better when I take the unisom so I might still take it here & there. Lots of pelvic pain this week. I know it didn’t start this early with Eli so it’s a little discouraging but I did get a belly support belt that seems to help.

Maternity clothes: Yes

Sleep: Sleep is good overall. Without unisom I usually wake up on my own 3:45-5am (I can usually go back to sleep but it takes a while & then I’m up for the day not long after). Unisom nights I get to sleep in until either 5:30 or when my Eli alarm goes off.

Miss anything: Being able to walk/run without pelvic pain

Movement: I’ve felt movements here & there when I’m laying back & pretty still. Ready to feel them constantly during the day!

Anything making you queasy or sick: This week nothing really *knocks on wood*

Have you started to show yet: Yep

Labor signs: None

Belly button in or out: In

Wedding rings on or off: On

Mood? Pretty happy for the most part but can go from happy to angry in 2.0.

Feeling boy or girl? Undecided this week...girl?

Looking forward to: ONE weekend before DisneyWorld! This weekend will be spent packing/prepping/resting for what’s to come!

Best moment of this week: Had my last day at Quest on Wednesday & was able to take 2 personal days before starting back at Dell on Monday. I got a massage & facial and do some other things that I normally don’t have time for...if I only had more than 2 days! But ready to hit the ground running with this new job! Also, Lauren came for the weekend & those are my favorite!! We get to hang out, eat yummy food, talk about Disney & shop...what more could I ask for??

16 Weeks | Our Little Avocado | Baby T #2

16 weeks

How far along: 16 weeks

How big is baby? Avocado

Symptoms: This past week was better nausea wise with the Vitamin B6 & unisom daily. Granted I had some early nights & a unisom hangover one morning but better than feeling terrible! Pelvic pain from even light jogging or if I walk too much - luckily rest heals it pretty quickly.

Maternity clothes: Yes

Sleep: Sleep is still good - and not waking up to pee most nights (probably coincides with the Unisom nights)

Miss anything: Being able to get in the orange zone at OTF

Movement: Pretty darn sure I’m feeling movement when I’m relaxing/laying down. Hunter curled up with me one day and had his head below my belly & baby was moving a lot (or at least I think)

Anything making you queasy or sick: Meh, still working out - but I’m powering through!

Have you started to show yet: Yep

Labor signs: None

Belly button in or out: In

Wedding rings on or off: On

Mood? Pretty happy for the most part

Feeling boy or girl? Boy? I don’t know!

Looking forward to: 2 days off this week & getting a massage and facial - yes please!

Best moment of this week: Had fun hosting Rachel’s shower! It was an exhausting day but so fun!! Also, our 16 week appointment. No ultrasound but Dr. C found the heartbeat & said that it must be naptime because she didn’t hear any kicks so we asked what that sounded like & she said whooshing or almost a double heartbeat or weird rhythm. When we find the heartbeat at home Eli is almost always around and the baby is apparently going nuts because we always hear those weird noises but didn’t know what they were. Not sure if the baby is excited or scared of Eli haha. Heartbeat was 148 BPM.

15 Weeks | Our Little Orange | Baby T #2

15 weeks

How far along: 15 weeks

How big is baby? Orange

Symptoms: Sooo this has been the worst week yet for symptoms. Nausea is back - including actual vomiting - this is not supposed to happen in the 2nd tri! Will someone tell my body?? Now trying Unisom + Vitamin B6 to see if I can kick this. Headaches are back. Pelvis pain comes if I push myself too hard on the treadmill.

Maternity clothes: Yuup

Sleep: Sleep is pretty good this week - especially the nights I took Unisom!

Miss anything: Not randomly gagging & throwing up :)

Movement: I think I’ve felt movement on & off. We rented a doppler & Justin is able to find the baby’s heartbeat super fast. Although the baby seems to “run” away when it hears Eli - HA!

Food cravings: Still loving sour pickles & takis. Also got back on the HEB Limon chip train

Anything making you queasy or sick: Working out...I felt so nauseous at everyone of my workouts this week & also about an hour after eating dinner. I actually got sick 3 times this week :(

Have you started to show yet: Yep

Labor signs: None

Belly button in or out: In

Wedding rings on or off: On

Mood? A little bit of a roller coaster

Feeling boy or girl? Girl...refer to being queasy or sick above

Looking forward to: Hosting Rachel’s baby shower for baby Aiden!

Best moment of this week: Had so many fun family dates this weekend! Dinner @ BJs followed by a little shopping & Tiff’s Treats. Saturday Costco run (maybe not as fun) + a trip to the Domain for gelato & Sprinkles cupcakes! A relaxing Sunday purging some stuff to make room for this baby!
