Baby #2 - Week 11

Let’s talk about Baby #2.

I found out I was pregnant right at the 4 week mark. I was already sick. I called my mom and told her I thought I was pregnant. She said you always think you are pregnant. Yes Yes Mom this is true, but if I am not pregnant why have I wanted to vomit everyday for the last few days. So, while Michael was out playing golf and Mason was napping I took a test and sure enough it said pregnant. I was shocked, but mostly excited. I couldn’t wait to tell Michael, but I did wait until he came home.

How far along? 11 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 3 lbs.
Maternity clothes? No. But trust me the bump is way bigger at this point than the last time. So I expect spandex is in my future. 
Stretch marks? No-Thank goodness.
Sleep: I have been sleeping a lot and hard. I wake up at least one time a night, but sometimes twice or more, to pee, so that is disturbing my sleep. Bedtime falls right after I put Mason to sleep, which is 8pm. Yikes. 
Best moment this week: I had to have an ultrasound this week. I was worried about some cramping so they had me come in for a heartbeat check, but instead of a just a heartbeat, I got to see my blob. 
Miss Anything? This is going to sound weird, or not, but I smelled Michael’s beer on Friday, from holding it, and I wanted to take a drink SOOOOO bad. 
Movement: No movement yet, and that is by far the worst part of the first trimester. No reassurance about the baby growing.
Food cravings: I crave a lot right now. Sweets mostly. I really like chocolate bars with the rice crispy in them. I also see food on TV and then want it whatever it is. 
Anything making you queasy or sick: I have been super sick with this pregnancy. I thought I was sick with Mason throwing up until 22 weeks, but this time nothing is helping. The Zofran doesn’t help and they gave me Phenergan but that just knocks me out. I usually wake up feeling dizzy and still sick.
Feelings: I am very excited about baby #2. I am getting Mason excited too. If you ask him if he wants a brother or sister he always says sissy. It is cute. He will also point to my belly if you ask him where a baby is. Adorable.   
Gender: We are not going to find out what we are having again. I so want to know, but I had that the last time too and I enjoyed finding out in the operating room.
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Michael says I have been moody. People have been annoying me easily. So I hide in my room and sleep. It makes it easier when you take a nap everyday.  
Looking forward to: Feeling the baby move for the first time. It will be the first of many movements to come. I want Mason to be able to feel the baby. I think it will help him understand more about the baby.
