Preggo Post

I figure I should start posting some pregnancy stuff being as I'm getting really close to being halfway done already! 

The stick hee hee 

This pregnancy has been extremely different than my pregnancy with Booker. The first trimester I was sick like none other everyday. Throwing up and not being able to eat. With Booker I think I threw up once just from eating something that didn't sit well. This one EVERYTHING didn't sit well haha. I finally got some zofran to help with the nausea and after that it got a little better, but I still threw up a lot and I still do every once in a while. 

So since I would throw up everything I had to find one thing everyday that sounded good and that I could keep down. So one day it was cheese straight off the block, another was a hotdog (I HATE hotdogs but this one was sooooo delicious!), and for a few days in a row was this yummy salad. I also have found that anything sugary makes me feel better and that cereal is NOT good. I have thrown up every cereal we own within 5 minutes of eating it and it has ruined quite a few of my favorites now. And I crave sushi ALL THE TIME!!! So random!

 Another thing that has been different is that so far I haven't had any official kidney stones! I think I may have passed one, one evening but we don't know for sure and it was really quick. With Booker I had a total of 3 that I was hospitalized for and then a few more at home. Hopefully we continue down this road of not having any :) 

I also think Baby is A LOT lower than Booker ever was, but I can already fell it moving around in there :) 

So right now I'm 18 weeks! 

 Here are some of our ultrasound pics from our 12 weeks check up. 

Profile, head at the top and little belly lower down.

From the front, top blob is it's head and bottom blob is the tummy.

 We decided to take Booker with us to the appointment because I wanted him to see the baby on the screen and hear us talking more about it with the doctor. I think it really helped him understand a little bit more. He likes to look at the Baby's pictures I have hanging on the fridge and he talks about it all the time :) 

Also, during our ultrasound, Baby was putting on a dance show, moving it's little legs all over the place and showing off. It was adorable and gave us all quite a laugh. I have a feeling this one could be just as busy as Booker. 

 Now for some preggo pics...

P.S. Booker HAS to be in the picture if he knows its happening. He's already such a proud big brother.

Week 18

 We are cruising right along! I can't believe we're already 18 weeks! We will be halfway done on Christmas day :) and we find out what it is on January 5th! Of course right after Christmas haha. I'll be closer to 22 weeks by then so we should get a good look and some really good pictures.

Now that I'm in the second trimester it's been a lot easier and I've felt a lot better. This week my prenatal vitamin has made me throw up everyday when I take it but other than that, and the fact that I'm tired all the time, I have felt really good. I think the tired part is because I have a very busy two year old boy this pregnancy :) but he's been really good and so sweet when I don't feel good. I have seriously been extremely blessed with a wonderful little boy and an amazing hubby, who both take really good care of me. 

More to come as I just continue to get bigger and bigger! :)
