11 Weeks


How far along? 11 Weeks
Symptoms: Pretty good this week.  Felt queasy one day but that was pretty much it.  Nicholas and Josh were in Pittsburgh this week so I have gotten to do lots of relaxing which has been nice.
Total weight gain/loss: +3
Maternity clothes? My regular clothes still fit, pants are getting pretty tight.
Sleep:  I have been going to bed early and sleeping like a rock!
Best moment this week:  Ventured out into the city by myself today to meet an old friend for lunch.  While I miss my boys, it was nice to have some "me" time.  Oh, and getting to go to Georgetown Cupcake :)
Movement: Nothing yet.
Food cravings:  Pasta.
Gender: Won't know for another 9 weeks or so.
Labor Signs: none.
Belly Button in or out?  in.
What I miss: A nice cocktail after a long day of work.
What I am looking forward to:  My boys coming home on Monday.  I miss them!  I can't wait for a hug and a kiss from my NickNick! 
Milestones:  1st OB appointment is this week.  Need to talk to the doctor about a few things, namely the possibility of getting pre-eclampsia again and finding out if there is anything I can do to prevent that from happening.

10 Weeks


How far along? 10 Weeks
Symptoms: Much better this week- The nausea seems to be gone but I am feeling like I am coming down with some kind of cold.  Always feel like I could use a power nap!
Total weight gain/loss: +2 or 3
Maternity clothes? My regular clothes still fit, pants are getting pretty tight.
Sleep:  Like a baby, but already getting up to pee 1-3 times per night.
Best moment this week:  Nicholas and I had some mommy and me time today- we went shopping and got his haircut.  It was fun to have some 1:1 time with him.
Movement: I know that I can't possibly be feeling the baby yet, but I do feel something from time to time.  Probably just gas, haha.
Food cravings:  Anything cheesy.
Gender: Won't know for another 10 weeks or so.
Labor Signs: none.
Belly Button in or out?  in.
What I miss: A nice cocktail after a long day of work.
What I am looking forward to:  Dr appt next Monday.... hoping to hear the heartbeat on the doppler.
Weekly Wisdom: I'm amazed at how much more relaxed I am about this baby then I was with Nicholas.  I think it is comforting to have an idea of what is coming.
Milestones:  Getting past the 1st tri nausea.  Hopefully it doesn't recur!

Baby makes 4!

On my 34th birthday, June 7, 2012, I found out that I was expecting baby #2!  Talk about a surprise!  I had stopped taking birth control that month and assumed that it would take a few months for us to conceive as it had with Nicholas.  Well, I guess my body and fate had other plans.  This baby is due on Valentines Day, 2013.  I am going to keep this blog private for a few more weeks until we are ready to go totally public, but wanted to get it started so that I can start posting weekly updates.
