So...I realized I never updated 8 weeks...so here goes EIGHT AND NINE!!!!

WOO HOO!!

The second trimester is near!

How far along? 8-9 weeks

Total weight gain: Pre pregnancy weight 135. Now at 140.

I have been eating some junk lately. Dedicating myself to healthy eating and to continue to exercise!

Maternity clothes? I have one pair of stretchy type jeans that fit me, but I have also been wearing some comfortable maternity capris and shorts! Things are definitely getting tighter around the waist.

Stretch marks? No new ones, still have my faded one's from Rylan's pregnancy though:)

Skin, Hair & Nails: My nails have been growing like crazy,and my skin has been pretty clear of pimples! I feel like my hair has grown alot as well. I know the hair on my legs has been growing fast!

Sleep: Sleeping has been a bit uncomfortable. I sleep on my stomach, and now have gotten to a point where it's not comfortable to. I have to use a pillow in between my legs, and behind my back to ensure I am comfortable. Also, it's more comfortable on my right side, but I try to sleep on the left as much as possible.

Best moment this week:Rylan recieved a medal at The Little Gym!!! He is so happy about it too:)

Miss anything? Being able to smell cooking food and not want to vomit!

Movement: Only gas for now. Cannot wait to feel some kicks!

Food cravings: Anything spicy or mexican food. Jalapenos, chips, and salsa!! I have been craving pizza, salad, lots of soup, walnuts, and orange juice!!!

Anything making you queasy or sick:Everything is making me quesy or sick. Every little smell makes me want to throw up! Rinsing Rylan's poo diapers is horrid! Cooking dinner is hard. I am sensitive to everything, it's ridiculous! I have puked many times now, mostly in the morning. The morning puke consists of stomach acid, which is horrible. And, Rylan thinks it's hilarious when I gag or throw up! Ive got a little audience when I am puking, oh joy!

Gender: It's far too early, but I cannot wait to know!


Labor signs: No way!

Symptoms: Backaches, exhausted, dizzy when I stand up too fast. Off and on loss of appetite. My nipples are SO sore. Everytime Rylan latches I have to take a deep breath. It doesn't really hurt to nurse, but the latching on is horrible! I have to remind Rylan numerous times to be gentle with the boobies. Feeling queasy. Strange cravings of things I never ate before pregnancy. BIG BOOBS! I can see my belly growing quickly!

Belly button in or out? Making it's way out already. I have an innie/outie type belly button, so it's no surprise it's poking out so soon!

Can you see your toes? Yes!

Happy or moody most of the time: Ive been pretty moody. But mostly happy. And tired.Very emotional. Everything makes me cry!

Looking forward to: Knowing the gender!!! My belly bump to pop out! Hearing the heartbeat for the first time! I bought a doppler!!! I am so excited to get it and hear my baby!!! I dont know when or if I will ever get to see a midwife or OB, so I really wanted to get a doppler. Trying to figure everything out so I can get some prenatal care and hopefully a sonogram!

 See you for week TEN!!!!

7 Weeks pregnant, say what?!!!
While I am writing this I am 8 weeks and 2 days pregnant, but I am still posting about my 7th week:)

How far along? 7 weeks

Total weight gain: Pre pregnancy weight 135. Now at 138.

Best moment this week: Not pregnancy related....Rylan started classes at The Little Gym! He loved it a whole lot!! I am so thrilled to continue to go! I think he is going to really love being involved in it:)

Miss anything? Not at the moment ;)

Movement: Only gas for now. Cannot wait to feel some kicks!

Food cravings: Anything spicy or mexican food. Jalapenos, chips, and salsa!! I ate a cheeseburger...and some salmon. Not very vegetarian of me. If I continue to crave meat I will be making a trip to the health food store for organic free range meat! I do plan to continue a vegetarian diet after baby is born. Hopefully mostly veg throughout this pregnancy.I have been dying to eat anything with ranch, which is soooo weird. Normally I think ranch is disgusting...but now I want to smother a piece of pizza in it. Eww, but oh so good. Im obsessed with peanut butter and jelly on a bagel!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Smells have been intense for me. Working in the restaurant business is the worst for that. In the mornings I have a hard time getting through breakfast. I gag with each bite I force myself to eat! Luckily towards the end of the day I usually feel less queasy. I try to snack often to avoid feeling sick, but it's hard to avoid. Im not severly sick, just a little naseous. Hopefully it stays mild. Also, if I nap in the day with Rylan I feel less sick when I wake up and eat.

Gender: It's far too early, but I cannot wait to know!


Labor signs: No way!

Symptoms: Backaches, exhausted, dizzy when I stand up too fast. Off and on loss of appetite. My nipples are SO sore. Everytime Rylan latches I have to take a deep breath.

Looking forward to: Knowing the gender!!! My belly bump to pop out! Hearing the heartbeat for the first time!

I think this is right before bed, which explains why I look like a hot mess!

I definitely have a little belly poking!!!

So excited about this baby and pregnancy!!!!

6 weeks Pregnant with baby #2!!!

How far along? 6 weeks

Total weight gain: Pre pregnancy weight 135. I was down to 130 due to little appetite, now at 132.

Maternity clothes? No maternity clotes yet, but I can see my belly is gonna poke out quickly this time around!

Stretch marks? No new ones, still have my faded one's from Rylan's pregnancy though:)

Skin, Hair & Nails: My nails have been growing like crazy, last week and the few before that I had some acne, and this week my skin is clearing up looking lovely! My hair seems to be growing quickly, I was just thinking of cutting it.

Sleep: Sleeping fine, feeling EXHAUSTED. Ive been having some pretty intense, vivid dreams lately!

Best moment this week: Not pregnancy related, but I took Rylan to ride a train, and it made him so happy. He was the most excited ive seen him. He kept looking back at me and kissing me while riding the train as if he were saying, "Thank you mom, you're the best"! :)

Miss anything? Not at the moment ;)

Movement: Only gas for now. Cannot wait to feel some kicks!

Food cravings: Anything spicy or mexican food. Jalapenos, chips, and salsa!! I haven't eaten meat in a long time, and I have been craving some. Have yet to eat meat though. Im dying for some fettuchini alfredo and garlic bread!!! I will get some ASAP!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Smells have been intense for me. I gag while walking through wal mart because everything smells horrid to me there for some reason right now. Morning sickness has come to me within the last few days. It's not really horrible yet, but I feel naseous often all day. I try to eat something the moment I feel that way, that usually helps!!

Gender: It's far too early, but I cannot wait to know!

Labor signs: No way!

Symptoms: Backaches, exhausted, dizzy when I stand up too fast. Off and on loss of appetite. My nipples are SO sore. Everytime Rylan latches I have to take a deep breath. It doesn't really hurt to nurse, but the latching on is horrible! I have to remind Rylan numerous times to be gentle with the boobies.

Belly button in or out? In for now! But, I already have an "innie/outie" so it wont be long until it's popped out!

Can you see your toes? Yes!

Happy or moody most of the time: Ive been pretty moody. But mostly happy. And tired.

Looking forward to: Knowing the gender!!! My belly bump to pop out! Hearing the heartbeat for the first time!

XOXO
