#2 34-36 Weeks

OMG, lets have this baby! This week we went (for what I hope) is our final ultrasound. I was still pretty sure he was breech, but we got other news! The night before I had lots of pain and just could not get comfortable. Come to find out that was because he FLIPPED! #2 is head down/face down! Actually he is far enough down that they could not even get a picture of his face! I was so excited because I really did NOT want a c-section. At this point he was around 6lbs 9oz and still measuring about 1.5 weeks ahead of my expected date. I am due 3/12 but with his measurements it is calculated 3/3! So we will see! Tom and I have both car seats in the car and ready to go! It is so weird to look in my back seat and see them both! Pretty sure there will never be such thing as a peaceful drive anymore! Haha So from here on out we are ready, everything is packed for the hospital, both boys’ rooms are finished, and this mama is so ready! I am very very uncomfortable this time around! So baby #2 lets do this!!! Next appointment is on 2/21 and hopefully the doctor and I can come to agreement about when we are going to have this baby and hopefully it wont be on my birthday!!! We did family/maternity pictures this weekend! Here is a sneak peak! (once we get the finals we will send them out) And the last one you can see how big I am getting!!! :)

#2 28-30 Weeks!

Almost to the end! A week and half ago we had a little scare, because the baby did not move almost all day for me. Tom came home early from work to watch Sawyer and I went to the hospital and had a Non Stress Test done. As soon as they hooked me up to all the monitors the baby started moving! I don think he liked all those bands around him! Ever since then he is right back to being a very active baby! We had our repeat ultrasound and the baby’s brain measured normal and it all looked good this time! WE ARE SO HAPPY! We were really stressed about the possible brain issues and development delay! But we went into this ultrasound agreeing that no matter what we were going to love this baby! He is so cute! They told us he already has a full head of hair, and is 3.5 lbs! I am only 28/29 weeks and he is measuring 31 weeks! He is going to be a big boy! Tom and I don’t think he looks like Sawyer (from what we can see) so maybe this one will be the spitting image of Tom! So excited to meet this little (big) man! I am feeling okay, back into the tired phase! I think between the holidays and Sawyer cutting his two-year molars, it makes me even more worn out! Sawyer has adjusted great to his new room. He is still in his crib (and loves it) so we are not pushing the big boy bed until he starts to hate or try to climb out of the crib. So the next big purchase for Baby #2 is the crib! Thank you so much to everyone that has helped with the cord banking money! It is a HUGE help! Our next ultrasound is not until 2/7/13! Hopefully by then he has flipped, he is still sitting breech! But if he is like his brother, he won’t flip until the last second! Here are a few pictures of my big belly and his cute little face! Love and miss you all!

#2 24 Weeks

Wow a lot has happen! Sorry I missed 22 weeks, but like I said life has been crazy! We had our ultrasound and we did not get the report we would of like to have had. The baby's ventricles (a part of the brain) are slightly enlarged and I have gestational diabetes! Really, So for any of you that thinks there is going to be a #3 let me clear the air right now, We are done after this baby! LOL So hopefully when we go 12/28 for our next ultrasound the ventricles will be down. The gestational diabetes is something that will not go away until after I have the baby. So I am on a very modified diet and checking (yes sticking my fingers) 4 times a day! This could explain why the baby is already so big and why I have not felt good the whole pregnancy! So maybe once my sugars are under control we will both start feeling better! So we pray that the baby will not need NICU care, please keep us in your prayers! Until the next ultrasound we are going to enjoy the holidays with Sawyer and make it an awesome Christmas and then turn right around and get ready for this 2nd birthday! (Can you believe he is 2 already!)? Here are a few pics of me and my big belly and the baby!! Love and miss you all!

This is his face, so cute!

Another picture of his face, the cord is infront of his mouth!

#2 20 Weeks

IT’S A BOY!!! We had our 20 weeks ultrasound today and we saw a penis! No doubt about it! The baby is measuring right around 20 weeks and looks great. We are so pleased we got a nice healthy report! During the ultrasound the baby was full of energy! He moved all over the place! So now the name game begins! I am pretty set on one, but we will see if Tom and I can get on the same page!!! ☺ The due date is still March 12th!!! Check back in for more info soon!

#2 18 Weeks

I can’t believe I am already 18 weeks! Thank goodness! I have been feeling better with each day, but still get hit with waves of nausea! I am finally starting to feel a lot of flutters! Tom even felt a few good kicks this week! We are pretty sure it will be another crazy boy, but find out for sure in two weeks! Until then….

#2 16 Weeks

So slowly but surely I am getting my energy back! Still having such a hard time falling and staying asleep! But I am sure it will get better until I am really huge! Haha Sawyer just got over hand/foot/mouth so that has taken a toll on all of us! Thank goodness he has started to get better! My next doc apt is Oct 10th. This is just a routine check up with my doctor. Heart rate and measurements! Next ultrasound is Oct 23rd, so until then we are hanging in there!

#2 14 Weeks

Finally, the end of my 1st trimester! That is the problem with finding out so early, because it seems to take forever to get through these weeks! I am still not feeling well and sleep is a hit and miss thing! I mean my toddler sleeps better then I do! Also I am just trying to eat what and when I can! With Sawyer I could sit down and eat a whole turkey and still want more! This one I have about 10 bites and I am full, and then 2 hours later I will need another 10 bites! I just want to eat! Hahaha! Also my skin is horriable this time and my hair is not getting full! This child is just taking everything from me! ☺ Sawyer is doing well we are practicing being gentle with his stuff animals, baby doll, and dogs! We have a long way to go! HAHA! More to come at 16 weeks!
