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!

Kicking our summer off right.

Summer is officially here! My favorite season has finally arrived. There is no better way to celebrate the first weekend of summer then camping! Michael and I love camping. Their is just something about campfires, sleeping under the stars, and s'mores  that get me excited to camp. This weekend we camped in Provo canyon with some friends that are going to BYU. Once we got camp all set up and the fire going this little guy decided to pay us a visit. Not going to lie I thought it was a bear sneaking up on us at first. I was scared out of my mind, but then he stuck his head up and I felt a lot better. After making some yummy s'mores and relaxing by the fire we got in the cars and headed to squaw peak to  look at the beautiful lights from on top of the mountain. You can see all of Utah Valley from up there. Everyone knows that if you are looking to get a goodnights rest  that camping is not what you want to be doing. ...

A THANKSGIVING FULL OF FAMILY & LAUGHTER

I was so excited when I found out my family was able to go to Moses Lake for Thanksgiving! Tualatin is only 4.45 hours away from Moses Lake, so once they said they said they were going,  Michael and I were definitely going too. We had so much fun with the family, but missed Kelsey and her husband a lot! Hopefully next holiday season they will be able to get more time off from the Marines. So one of the nights we were there we all played Heads Up (The app game Ellen Degeneres made that is like charades.)  We seriously all about pee'd our pants we were dying of laughter! By far one of the funnest game nights I have had in a while!  I was able to catch a few of them on video, but I definitely missed the funniest ones. Here is a look at our crazy and awesome family! Justin and Dad Michael and Uncle Corby Seriously though if you are looking for something fun to do with a bunch of people, this is it my friends!! Do it. I absolu...
