Number 2 is officially half baked + 2.5 weeks. YAY!
I have a lot of family and friends who don’t get to see us often so I thought I’d share a belly picture. Warning..it’s bare belly. Instead of just showing what I look like now here’s a comparison at 21ish weeks with both of my pregnancies…
This is from my pregnancy with Amelia…
This is from this pregnancy…I don’t know if it’s just me, but this kiddo is LOW and my belly is a bit oddly shaped. Thank.you.very.much.placenta.previa.
I had my 20 week appointment a few weeks ago and the baby looks perfect. The baby’s arms and legs were measuring about 2 weeks ahead (yes, another long skinny baby) and the head/tummy were measuring right on track.
The placenta previa has cleared up and the baby is moving on up in my tummy. I’m of course still carrying very low, but the definite need for a c-section is gone! I can resume some normalcy in my life and even pick up some moderate exercise activities. YAY!
My weight gain is hanging around 8-10lbs total so far. By 22-23 weeks with Amelia I had gained 20 or so pounds. I’m optimistic that it will stay under 20 total for this pregnancy which would make me very happy…and hopefully make losing it a bit easier this time.
I am hoping that we’re truly in the honeymoon period and that my energy levels will stay high and that I’ll get to enjoy every remaining moment of this pregnancy.
This kiddo is most definitely a wiggler, but I’d venture to say that he/she isn’t quite as wiggly as big sister Amelia…pray that means we have a mellow kid coming our way. HA! I will say that this munchkin has the hiccups all of the time! I don’t remember Amelia ever having them and this poor little one has them at least 3-4 times a day. I’m feeling kicks mostly in my lower belly, but they’re moving up every day and I now feel a lot of them around my belly button.
We’re gearing up to convert the guest room in the next few weeks into Amelia’s big girl room and then leave Amelia’s room as is until the little one arrives. So excited!
