Week 22

This pregnancy continues to go well. I feel better and better and I'm reminded of how the middle of my pregnancy with Claire was so comfortable.

I continue to spoil and love my little girl before her sister arrives. We've begun potty training and its been more of a transition than a sudden change. She's doing very well.

I keep finding great deals on second hand toys so we've been adding to the collection pretty quickly. A wagon, slide, kitchen, makeup table...I can't seem to stop. Hopefully she'll share with her sister!

Week 20

Baby is awesome! Measured at 20w1d with a due date of 10/23/13. That's four days after Claire's birthday.

We also found out what we're having.

Another girl! Sisters!

Week 19

Tons of pics for you, plus a belly pic from last week.

We find out what's in that belly this Thursday morning. I'm so excited!!! Baby is kicking and punching a lot so things are definitely normal there.

I'm finally getting to my pre-pregnancy weight due to such bad morning sickness.  I still have good aversions but McDonald plain cheeseburgers are my biggest craving right now. I know, Ewww.

Claire is great! We start potty training next week since she is very ready. Smart little girl, I tell ya.

I'll let you all know if its a boy or girl, I promise. We're telling my family after work Thursday and DH's family on Friday.

With the pics below, my faves are the ones with the rainbow in the background. She is definitely our Rainbow Baby.

11w6d

Holy crap tomorrow's the day. 12 weeks. The doctors appointment is in the morning and I'm sure it'll be a quick check and then "see you in a month!".

I'm definitely feeling better. I can tolerate more food and its been about 2 weeks since I last puked. I'm still nauseous but its not as bad as it was.

I can feel pressure where my uterus is growing and I have a little belly starting. It must be true that you show sooner the second time around. Its hard to say that because this is my 6th pregnancy.

We'll be sharing the news with our siblings tomorrow, then our co-workers on Monday. Probably Facebook that day too. I can't believe I'm putting this on Facebook.

10w5d

So I got my Doppler back from my SIL last Saturday and used it as soon as Claire was in bed. At only 10 weeks I found the baby's heartbeat! I just tried it again tonight and found it right away! Its such an amazing feeling and I'm so grateful.

Easter was fun; Claire had a little egg hunt in the house since it was cold outside yet.

She met the Easter bunny the weekend prior but wasn't impressed.

I'm feeling better some days and pretty sick other days. I hope it fades away soon but that's wishful thinking... I lost 15 lbs the first trimester with Claire and this time I'm down about 5 lbs. That's because my starting weight was 20 lbs lower than last time.

I'm wearing maternity dress pants now and they feel awesome. Like sweatpants! I'm looking so forward to next Friday's doctor's appointment. We'll get a quick peek at the baby and enter into the second trimester!
