16-17 weeks!



Have you started to show yet? Definitely, starting to pop out.
Total weight gain/loss: 7lbs by my scale. I won't get weighed officially until my next appointment. 
Food cravings: Sweets! Anything chocolate and sugary.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing, luckily! I have been able to tolerate red meat this time around which is awesome. 
Miss Anything? Doing strenuous activity. I've been doing some gardening with the nice weather, and I have to really listen to my body. I overdid it last weekend and was SO sore!
Mood: I've had a few emotional outbursts this week. But sleep helps keep me more 'myself'. 
Sleep: Pretty good! Sean actually slept in this morning and it was glorious. First time sleeping in until 8am in a LONG time. 
Best moment this week: I feel baby about 3-4 times a day, usually after eating. He/she is getting strong and I'm hoping Erin gets to feel an outside kick soon!
Annoyances: I do wish I could wear maternity leggings without them falling down! My belly isn't big enough to hold up maternity leggings, but it's too big to wear my normal leggings.
Maternity clothes? Yes! Some of my maternity clothes are still too big but are more comfy than pre-pregnancy clothes.
Gender Predictions: Still thinking boy. Although a girl would be so much fun!
Looking forward to: Well, not really looking forward to it. But we are potty training Sean next weekend. I could be crazy but I have a 3 day weekend, so might as well try to get it done!

14-15 Weeks!

Welcome back to my blog!

 It's been a long time since I've posted, but I want to chronicle this pregnancy like I did Sean's. Let me know if you have any suggestions for topics to add to these posts! 
Have you started to show yet? A little bit! It's happening a lot faster this time around. 
Total weight gain/loss: I'm at 6lbs right now. Trying not to gain as much as I did with Sean. 
Food cravings: Pineapple, anything salty and brie with salami!
Anything making you queasy or sick: It varies. I haven't had aversions yet, but if something sounds really gross, I can't handle thinking about eating it. For example, someone mentioned shrimp, and I had to leave the room!
Miss Anything? Wine!
Mood: Pretty level! I'm still pretty tired, but not nearly as bad as a week or two ago. 
Sleep: As good as I can expect while juggling a full time job, a toddler and a husband, as well as a new puppy!
Best moment this week: Felt a pretty significant kick last night! Baby is starting to get stronger 😄
Annoyances: Already having back pain and sciatic nerve pain. Starting to get my stretches in so it doesn't get worse!
Maternity clothes? Embracing the full panel jean 😅. So comfy and I don't have to deal with a button. 
Movement: Mostly small flutters, but I've been feeling some stronger movement randomly. 
Gender Predictions: We both think it's another boy, since this pregnancy is so similar so far to Sean's. 
Looking forward to: St. Patty's Day this Friday!
