3rd trimester

Im finally in the 3rd trimester and Im kinda nervous! I am finally getting back some of my energy! I actually went shopping for fabric yesterday to make curtains for the living room, something like that I only dream about because I am too tired. maybe ill get to make some receiving blankets and bibs which I need so desperately. Right now i weigh 145.5 So I am finally gaining some weight and I am getting more hungry more often. Also I really feel the belly stretching these days. Even though I weigh less it seems like Im bigger this time around. Some of the clothes I wore last time I was pregnant till the very end dont really fit me this time. Also the heartburn never ends. I wake up with it and go to sleep with it. I eat tums like candy it helps for a little bit. I did find a new baby blessing dress. I feel like each girl should get thier own so that if they have a girl they can use it too. Im super in love with this one because it has a few sparkles on it as well. Colby and I have really gone back and forth on a baby name. Colby is very picky and doesnt want anything but the best and pretty and unique. Hopefully this one sticks!

just another day

sometimes I still feel like I just have the flu and Im not pregnant. Its hard for me to imagine functioning or managing two kids at one time for the rest of my life! We have been in transition from moving from queen creek house to the in laws til we found a rental which we move into next weekend! Im so excited to decorate a little girls room for two girls! Super excited. I have decided what I should really do about the sleeping arrangements. I almost want to buy another crib so they both have their own bed. But I know for the first few months she will be sleeping next to me anyway probably in the pack and play. I never thought it would be so hard not to want to buy matching clothes for these girls. Im going to refrain as much as possible unless its for pictures or something.

I am however so tired all the time. I could sleep 10 hours and I have enough iron and no thyrod issue but I seriously tired all the time!

My favorite food right now is toast with avacado and cucumbers sprinkled with garlic salt mmmm. also always want a krispy kreme doughnut.

kicking

this cute little girl finally started moving around a bit more. I was a little worried because I had heard that you usually feel your 2nd baby sooner since you know what to expect. This isnt the case for me. It might be because I have more weight on this time Im not sure. But anyway, She was moving alot last night. It is funny because this early in my pregnancy almost 22 weeks I can see my tummy move alot than I can actually feel it. Aspen was a mean kicker and I felt it nonstop. This girl must still be kneeling like in her ultra sound, so her feet arent facing my tummy but the insides.

this pregnancy I am craving a little more junk food than before. I still eat alot of grapefruit and vegtables. I cant get enough Avacados. I eat one almost every day. Also lots of juice. But I cant get enough chocolate. Mostly twix and Kitkats. But I cant even indulge very much because it makes me soooo tired so fast.

Its a sister... Im mean GIRL!

Last thursday we got to see an awesome ultra sound and find out we are having another girl. I am super excited. She had all her fingers and toes a cute butt and a happy heart rate of 149. I have to admit I already ordered matching picture outfits and more bows than Colby can handle. Im glad all of Aspens cute baby stuff gets to get used again, not that this girl will only get hand me downs, she gets new fun stuff herself! Maybe even a babyshower!

18wks

Im 18weeks already. I feel very tired all the time. I think I also get dehydrated really quickly since I get headaches really easy. I talked to the nurse practitioner about taking sudphed everyday for my allergies. We decided that is just what I am going to have to do so I dont end up in the hospital with horrible migranes I cant control or function properly. I have a never ending guilt that I hope nothing bad happens because I am taking it everyday. I also lost a pound when I weighed in at the drs office. I told her I had been really sick. Well more than my first trimester. I started taking morning sickness medicine before bed each night. It does seem to help but I am really tired when I wake up. Also usually at like 3 or 4 in the morning I wake up wanting to have a feast of food. Almost like Im not pregnant just really hungry.

heartbeat

last week I got to hear babies heartbeat then 3 days later got to see baby on an ultra sound. 158 strong. I think its a girl more everyday. We have no girl names to agree on. We get to find out gender of feb 16th even though ill be like 21 weeks along thats the first time they could get me in in the afternoon with colby there. I still get sick in the mornings and get dizzy really easy. My energy hasnt really come back. But I havent really gained any weight even though I feel like my clothes dont fit me properly. today i stood on my moms scale at 136lbs. I have the worst heartburn ever! its started way earlier this time.

getting better

i dont think its really hit me yet. We still haven't told anyone and im really surprised colby hasnt spilled the beans. Being pregnant gives me huge mood swings and i can be really mean really fast, i feel bad... sometimes.

Most of my sickness has gone away which is amazing. Im trying to manage eating alot of healthy fruits and vegetables. I want my baby to get healthy and I want to only gain good healthy weight.

Im even more curious now than last pregnancy what sex the baby will be. I get kinda nervous thinking it will be a boy. Aspen has be so good and its easy raising a girl when you are a girl. But I know colby wants a boy SOOO bad. Then i think about when they are older and they will want to date each others friends. Or if baby is a girl they will constantly be fighting over clothes, friends makeup. So who knows.

I have been having asthma and now i think i have a cold. This is what is bad being pregnant this time of year. I also cant take any medicine really. I am still trying to get my appointment changed so I can get into the dr sooner. I think I might change drs just because its so hard but then I really want the BEST. We of course already have the boy name picked out. Colby will never let us name our first boy anythign but Walker. He said the found the name but i did, same thing with aspen. haha. silly guy. I was soemthing beautiful and amazing and original like aspen but i am having a hard time finding what i like. We almost named aspen cheyenne but im not sure if i want to name two kids after cities. I love Noel too.

Im always craving stuff. The cravings are so forceful. Right now i really want a fudruckers hamburger and mongollin grill noddles ahhh. i still want sushi like last time. I havent weighed myself but i dont think i have gained any weight yet. I found out the steriod iwas taking for my lungs makes my stomach stick out like im pregant. some days i look 5 or 6 months along.
