Week 20

The half-way point sure did sneak up on us! I’m feeling the baby more and more. Though {s}he is still really low. My baby bump looks the same as when I was pregnant with Charlie, but she was always kicking in the bump area, not below like #2 is. The mister even got to feel [...]

Week 19

I’ve felt pretty good this week. Aside from heartburn, the only new symptom I’m feeling is lower abdominal pain/aches. Also known as round ligament pain. I’ve been sure to make myself comfortable while sitting and often use my chaise and laptop rather than sit at my computer desk. That seems to help as does wearing [...]

Week 18 {and a recap of 17}

Last week, {week 17} I had my monthly check up. I talked about my dizzy episode and was told that it could be several things. Most likely since the weather changed so drastically {40s to 70s overnight}, coupled with hormone changes, and a crowded room. But I’m under strict orders to relay if it happens [...]

Week 15

Week 15. So soon? Wowzers. I feel great. Until I bend over. There’s a slightly obnoxious pain in my very lower back, but I can’t tell if it is from daily housework {read: picking up a billion books, socks, toys, bouncy balls, and/or puzzle pieces} or what. Yoga may help set it to rights, otherwise [...]

Week 14

I’m finally feeling somewhat human again. The cold that Charlie shared with me last week totally kicked my tuchus. I was amazed at how such a small cold could sap all my energy when pregnant. Thankfully the worst is over. And it’s a small price to pay for the naturally weakened immune system that comes [...]

Week 13

Symptom-wise, I feel good. I feel better if I get a nap in. Fatigue is supposed to be decreasing, but I’m still feeling tired. I’ve also noticed some heartburn surfacing, which is about as fun as bloating and gas. Thankfully, I’ve still managed to keep nausea at bay. I’ll take it!! Last night was our [...]
