12 Weeks today - Update on Mommy and Baby Today marks 12 weeks for us today!!! I can't believe how quickly time is going by.
Baby is now about 2 inches long, His or her fingers and toes are not webbed anymore and reflexes are already in place. I hope to get another ultrasound on Friday. Would love to see how much baby has changed since 7 weeks.
I'm not doing so great yet. FEeling EXTREMELY tired and queesy. First I get this uncontrolable hunger and then once I'm done eating, I regret eating because I feel so nauseous.
I have not gained much weight yet, but feel bigger than I was when pregnant with Travis. I think I gained 1 pound so far.
Travis woke up early this morning. This was good since I got a chance to feed him a proper breakfast before taking him to daycare. I was amazed that I could feed him his oats and yoghurt!!! He is being so good now and I'm so proud of him. He behaves so well in his classroom and when I look at him, he reminds me of a little angel.
Update on Mom and Baby - 10 weeks 5 days Today is Monday and needless to say... I miss my little boy today. He is such a joy and I realized over night that I need to give him more slack. Since I found out that there is another baby on the way, I've been unintentionally trying to get Travis to spend more time with his daddy to prepare him for when his sibling arrives. I realized that he now needs me more than anything, since all of our lives are about to change. I am entrusting our lives to God and know that He will prepare all of us for welcoming another little angel into our lives.
I love you so very much, my little Travis. Mommy is sorry for trying to push you to be more independent. I love you more than anything in this world. Daddy and I went on a date on Saturday, and all I could think of is you. What I can buy you, what we are going to do together when I get home and I realized that you are the centerpoint of my life.
Mom is still very tired. Nausea is getting more manageable and I have not gained any weight yet. I'm wondering when I will start to show since this is baby number 2.
Our next appointment is July 11th. I'm sure by then there will be more of a bump. :)
Much love,
Mommy

Pregnancy the second time around Pregnancy the second time around sure is different. First of all, let me start out and say that I love being pregnant. I might complain about all the aches and pains, but I love how my body is changing to form life inside of me.
The morning sickness is so severe! I have had it for the last 4 weeks at least every day, whole day. There might be an instance when I feel ok and that is when I piggy out and go eat big meals. Every time after the big meal, ofcoarse, I regret it. Because that is when the extreme of all extreme nausea sets in.
Fatique - I am so tired all the time with this pregnancy. I can't remember being this tired with Travis. I know it is wrong to compare pregnancies, but how can one not. :)
My weight gain has been interesting. The one day I'm down with 3 pounds and the next day its up again. Two days later, I'm down 2 pounds again. I am still not showing yet and have heard that you start to show earlier with your 2nd pregnancy.
I miss my family a lot these days. They live so far away and I wish that we could be closer together.

I told my boss Phew! What a relief. I finally got together the courage to tell my boss that I am pregnant. I knew that he would be ok with it, but as you all know...it is very stressful to share such news to your employer. Especially since I want to continue working at this company. My co workers are wonderful and have always been very supportive.
Today is the second day that my little bean did not cry when I dropped him off at his little school. He just got this shy smile and when I told him, kissy Mommy goodbye, he was eager to kiss me good bye. I miss my little Travis sooooo much. He has gone from Mr. Independent to Mr. Love buggy and snuggles. :)
I stayed home yesterday. Got sick with nausea and some stomach bug. Feel better today, but still on chicken soup.
