Second Trimester with Baby #2


This trimester consists of weeks 13-27

 (This ultra sound was taken at 20 weeks)

How far along?  
27 Weeks

Maternity clothes?
I have bought maternity leggings because I hate how tight the band is on normal leggings. And I have bought a few pairs of maternity jeans, so much more comfortable!!

Stretch marks?
Nope still no stretch marks!!

Sleep?
I have been able to sleep better now that I do not feel so sick every night(sickness went away at about 16 weeks).  The tired level though go down  for a little at the beginning if the trimester, but now I am just tired all of the time.

Favorite moments?
When I felt movement at 16 weeks.
When we found out she is a girl!!

Moments you will not miss?
Being tired.
Sciatic and hip pain have been really high during this 2nd trimester, so I will not miss that!
Don't get me wrong I do love to feel when the baby moves, but this little girl knows how to pack a punch! She has me scream out loud sometimes! 
Sooo I will not miss feeling those kind of punches to the hip, ribs, gut, and bladder.
Peeing every half hour!! No I am really serious it is most the time that often! She is sitting so low that she is literally just squishing my bladder.

Miss anything? 
Feeling normal, I am just ready to not be sick everyday and feeling like a lazy mom with Liam.

Movement: 
Felt her at 16 weeks!!

Babies Position:
baby girl is head down and right on top the bladder!!
My placenta is also in front, so it pushes her back more and that has definitely made things uncomfortable and exposed in the back for her to kick!

Food cravings: 
mid trimester I started to crave these foods, a lot of them are things
 with beef in them which is what I wanted all of the time:

Mcdonalds Mcdouble.
Wendy's Chicken Sandwich.
Taco bell 5 layer burrito mostly because of the cheese sauce they put in it.
Cheesecake Factory Avocado Egg Rolls.
French dip sandwiches.
Spaghetti.
Lots of candy- jelly bean starburst, milk duds, snickers, and gum.
I have also just wanted fruity drinks and pop a lot!!

Anything making you queasy or sick?
nope, thank goodness

Symptoms?
Just major Sciatic pain and the hips are getting soft so I have to switch sides a lot when sleeping.

Belly button in or out?
Still an iny. 

Wedding rings on or off?  
On.

Happy or moody most of the time:
I am happy, the energy level has went up a little and I am able to get more stuff done and be a more fun mom, so lets hope that can continue for a little longer because I know as I get bigger it is going to be hard to want to do things.

Looking forward to: 
The 3rd trimester to get here!
Finishing up the nursery now that we know it is a girl!


This is how we revealed the gender on social media!

THE FINAL WEEK

How far along?    39 weeks We are in the final week ladies and gents!! Maternity clothes? Only a few shirts  and a dress. Other than that I just wear leggings, dresses, and some of Michaels shirts. Stretch marks? Not a single one thank goodness! When I was in school I learned in my  Anatomy  and Physiology class that if you start putting on shay butter/coconut oil(I used the Palmers cocoa butter and sometimes add my 100% coconut essentials oil.) two months before getting pregnant, that it will help your skin loosen and become more elastic.  So once we decided to start trying I  immediately  got some lotion and put it on every other day(or you can put it on everyday).  I know that, that is what helped me not get any stretch marks. I cant  guarantee  it will work for everyone, but what I do know is that if you don't start lotioning your skin early, it for sure will not be ready for the  drastic  change that is about to happen. Sleep? I have actually

ANNIVERSARY # 3

If I had my life to live over again, I would find you sooner so that I could love you longer.  Happy Anniversary Michael. I love you so much.  You are my greatest adventure. I couldn't imagine life without you!   This is the beautiful rose I came home to after work! My husband truly is the best.  Little things like this let me know that he is thinking about. In a marriage I feel it is so vital to let your spouse know in anyway you want,  but to just let them know you are thinking of them and that you love them. I made this cutie some yummy breakfast in bed.... .......... After work we headed over to Pizza Pie Cafe in Bountiful. We know its not a typical dinner date for an anniversary, but we LOVE Pizza Pie. They have the best oreo pizza in the world. Seriously though it is one of my favorite places to eat! After our wonderful dinner at Pizza Pie, we headed up the mountain to go shoot our new gun. We had to get ther
