Bump-Date #2: Week 29

Baby Size: 15"; Butternut Squash
Baby Weight: 2.5 lb
*********************

Week 29 was rather uneventful in relation to Dylan, which is great :) Kyle and and I were both off this week, so we took a mini vacation to Sea World - San Antonio with Colton!  He really enjoyed it!!  The animals were really amazing!  Colton especially loved the splash park that they had, he played and played in that thing for over an hour.  Luckily, we had decided to let him play when we were getting ready to head home, so he was able to wear himself out good!!  He was even talking about it the next day when we were already back home.  The rest of the week Kyle and I worked on stuff around the house; Kyle outside and I in Dylan's room.  I tell you...he will not be short on clothes by no means!  I have stuff from Colton, as well as clothes that others have give me; I'm even giving some away to others that need clothes as well.  It's getting so close and the anxiety is starting to set in...along with the nesting :)

I's hungry :) 29 wk 5d

 Baby Dylan is doing great!  I had my 28 week appointment yesterday, which included the awesome glucose and Rhogam shot, so the day was full of awesomeness haha!  I did get a sneak peek at him too, so I was super excited about that :)  I had some bleeding earlier this week and called the on call doctor since it was after hours and she said it can be normal at this point during pregnancy, but to mention it at yesterdays appointment.  So about an hour before the appointment I started having horrible braxton hicks that stopped me in my tracks for a bit and moved around to my back.  When they finally stopped I was cramping and my back was still sore.  I mentioned it to my doctor when I was there and he wanted to do an ultrasound to check my cervix and make sure I wasn't dilating too soon.  Everything looked great (even told me to eat ice cream to get my blood sugar back up after the glucose test...doctors orders!!), and Dylan's little head was right on top of my cervix; so I got to see his head and little profile :)  made my heart flutter a little to get a sneak peek!!

Yeah so apparently life/time goes by so much faster with pregnancy 2+!  I didn't realize that it had been over a month since I last did an update.  All is well though!  Baby boy is growing as expected, and I have finally begun to get a belly, so yay!  Colton turned 2, which is pure craziness to think that he is already 2!!  Seems like just yesterday we were starting the journey with him, and here I am starting to see the light at the end of the pregnancy #2 tunnel!  Time goes by so fast, so be sure to treasure every moment that you have :)

Bump-Date #2: Week 21

Baby Size: 10.5"; Carrot
Baby Weight: 12.2oz
*********************
I'm feeling a lot better this week than I did last week.  I am still super tired, but that is to be expected when you're growing a little person on the inside and chasing a little person on the outside! Baby dos seems to be more active this week too, which is a love/hate thing.  I love to feel him moving around, don't get me wrong, but I hate when I'm at work and he starting playing kickball with my bladder!  I know it's just a phase and he will calm down, so I try to cherish the active moments and not be to irritated by the oh crap I gotta go moments :) haha!

So this morning I was taking a belly picture after I got ready for work, and Colton came in and was watching me.  When I was satisfied with one, I looked at him and he pulled his shirt up and said 'my turn momma!'  So here's that cuteness!

I can't believe it has been so long since my last update!  The last 3 weeks had been pretty uneventful until earlier this week.  I started feeling icky, not sick, just like something wasn't right.  I happened to have my 20 week appointment today, so I was basically feeling like 'as long as I make it to Thursday all will be good.'  At my appointment today, I told my dr how I have been feeling; extremely weak, tired, no appetite, not feeling like myself, having braxton hicks and being a little disoriented.  I told my dr all of this today, and he basically said 'yep you're pregnant welcome to the 2nd half of pregnancy!'  I was like oh gee thanks! I still think something more is wrong that 'being pregnant', so I'm going keep an eye on myself and see.  He said to get more rest and drink more water.  I was like well okay I'm doing that, but still feeling crappy.  So I dunno.  My bp was up a little today, 134/78.  I talked with my nurse about it, and she said they don't get concerned until it gets to 140+.  I know that 140 is technically considered high, but 134 is high for me considering my bp is normally 115-120.  I just don't want to end up with pre-eclampsia or anything, so I'm going to do what I can to keep it low; drink more water, eat fresh foods, cut down on sodium, stop drinking soda, etc.  Hopefully that will help!  I just worry about these Texas summer's I'm going into...

Ultrasound Pictures

We had our ultrasound today, and while the baby was not too cooperative we were able to tell that Colton will have a little brother!  So exciting!!

*********************

The past two weeks have been pretty crazy at work and at home both!  I had my 16 week appointment March 27th and I got to hear the heartbeat again...so in love with that sound!  I then got a call on Friday to say that my ultrasound would be April 1st; yes April Fool's day!  I was like awesome can't wait!!  I have been having issues with my sciatica nerve, but I had that issue with Colton as well I just wish there was so sort of relief for it!  The dr just says to relax and stay off my feet, but that there isn't much I can do for it since it's just the baby putting pressure on the nerves in my lower back; oh well that's one of the sacrifices I will make!

People tell me that I don't look like I'm showing, but I totally see it!

Bump-Date #2: Week 15

Baby Size: 4"; Apple
Baby Weight: 2.5oz
*********************
 Last week I thought I felt the baby moving, and thought I would wait a couple days and see if I noticed it again; sure enough I did!  It happens almost every night now when I lay down to go to sleep :)  It isn't strong enough for anybody but me to feel it at this point, and secretly I kind of like that...makes it just mine for the time being! I realized the other day talking with my best friend that I am only a couple weeks away from finding out if the baby is a boy/girl.  I got the DR the 27th, and will schedule the ultrasound at that appointment for within the next 2 weeks, and assuming the baby is cooperative we should find out!  So exciting!  Time is going by so much faster this time than with Colton.  I remember with Colton the first trimester was never ending, and I was thinking wow 4 whole weeks between appointments AND 2 weeks until the ultrasound.  Now I'm like wow only 4 weeks between appointments AND my ultrasound is only 2 weeks away!  It is all flying by so fast...not sure 5 more months is enough time to get everything done that I need to do!

Bump-Date #2: Week 14

Baby Size: 3.5"; Lemon
Baby Weight: 1.5oz
*********************
 Luckily my energy is still here!  Just in time for my niece to come stay a few days with me over Spring Break! Yay :)  Hopefully she'll enjoy a few days with us and a few days break from her little brother, hehe.  I started feeling bad in church today.  When I was pregnant with Colton I would feel like I was going to pass out, I would see stars, get hot, and then have to sit down.  However, this time around I started feeling sick, like weak and ill...kind of strange.  Not sure if that my 'thing' with this pregnancy or not...we shall wait and see!
