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!

OUR LITTLE PUMPKIN IS DUE MAY 9, 2015

Yup you read that right we are having a baby, May 9, 2015!! I surprised Michael by sending him a picture of my pregnancy test. So when he woke up that was the first thing he saw. I did the same with my mom because I needed her guidance on what I needed to do. It was defiantly killing her to not be able to tell anyone the news, but I definitely appreciate all the advice I have gotten as well as another person to talk to about it. We were so excited when we found out, we just wanted to tell everyone right away, but we waited and learned patience. I would have been so heart broken to have to tell everyone if we had a miscarriage. When we found out I was pregnant, I was 5 weeks along, so for my first appointment they had to take a blood test.  For those of you who know me, know that I do not do well  with needles and veins in the same sentence. As you can imagine I did not do well.   I kept moving an...

THINGS I LOVE

I feel it is so important to fall in love with as many things as we can, but to also fall in love with as many people as we can. As I have gotten older I have started to love things I did not care about when I was younger. I have grown to appreciate what my Heavenly Father has given to me on this Earth. and I have learned that when you love, you serve others. Which is the pure love of Christ...  and that is what will bring true happiness into your world. I am going to make a list throughout my life of things that I have fallen in love with. I want to be remembered as someone who loved everything and everyone. I want my kids to be able to know what I loved and that serving and loving everything is one of the  greatest gifts we have to become truly happy in this world. .......... Things I Love: -My Heavenly Father & Jesus Christ -The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints  -Michael Nelson, the greatest husband EV...

Super Bowl

For the Super Bowl this year we are tagging a long with Ben and Rachel and headed to Rachel's mom's house in Heber for the weekend. On Saturday we went to the Ice Castles that were in Midway, which touches Heber, so we decided it would be a good idea to go because towns get selected to host the Ice Castles and this is the 3rd time midway was selected, so we thought we better go because it might not come back again. Once we got there we had to hop into a huge line that did go pretty fast but while we were waiting there were some guys juggling fire torches and also two guy carving ice sculptures, the two they was working on were the seattle Seahawk's hawk and the Denver Bronco's Bronco.  I was really cool to watch.  Once we got in to the Ice Castle we were frozen, we definitely did not dress right for the weather and we went at night so it was even more cold, but it was so cool because they had lights shinning on the ice and it would change different colors too.  Here ar...
