Baby #2 on the Way!

I know, I know….wayyyy late in posting about this exciting new baby! As you all know, Baby #2 is just about half-way done with cooking ;) But, as I said from the beginning of this blog, this is a place for me/us to share our journey, but also to document our lives during this time. I was never one of those people to sit down and write in a journal- and I sure as heck don’t have time to do that now (hence me just now talking about baby #2!) So, we’ll keep you in the loop as I spend time “journaling” about Baby #2 and of course, share my expanding belly pictures!
 

Brad and I found out we were expecting basically on Week 4 of pregnancy! There was nothing that really lead me to take a test, other than the fact that I thought there could be a possibility. The test came back positive and I was just soooooo happy! I was NOT expecting to see a positive sign and I didn’t realize it could happen so quickly! I had to keep this secret from Brad for two whole hours (it was really hard, because I was just so happy!!) I waited for Sage to get up from her nap, wrote on a white shirt “Mommy is Pregnant” and sent her to go find Daddy! I always wanted to tell Brad in a fun way about being pregnant with our second and I think by his reaction- I nailed it!!

 

Flash forward to today- the first trimester was HELL! I felt like crap. I mean, can’t-eat, can’t-move-because-I-might-get-sick, crap!! Brad did SOO much to help with Sage, cleaning, cooking, etc. (who am I kidding…he basically does that stuff regardless of how I’m feeling!) It was a constant 9 weeks of feeling very nauseous. I was  so happy that the second trimester came and I started to feel normal again!

 
The pregnancy has been VERY different from the first. And I loved being pregnant with Sage. But boy…the second time around takes a lot out of you than the first. I am just SOO tired. I can’t put into words how exhausted I am. I don’tknow how I find the energy to keep up with Sage (and she is one busy girl!)

But, this pregnancy is going by a lot faster than the first, mostly because all our attention is on Sage and not Baby #2 (poor kid is already neglected!)

 

I started feeling the baby move around Week 15 and he has become more active since then! (Yes, the baby will be referred to as HE during this pregnancy)

I started showing at Week 13 and so far I think I’m right on track from the first time. In fact, I lost weight my first trimester, but I’m right on track with weight now and belly size!

So, there we have it- Baby #2- due June 15^th and we are so very excited!

In the meantime, we are just soaking up every minute with Sage!
