Hi. I feel rather guilty for how LITTLE I've documented my 2nd pregnancy. For my 1st one, I had a pregnancy diary and everything! I was all over it! I guess the "novelty" has worn off or something--or maybe it's just because my life is much more hectic with a toddler in it. Yeah, I'll take that last excuse.
I have a doctor's appointment in just a little while. We are supposed to be scheduling the C-section today! I am so anxious about the entire thing! Yet at the same time, the belly is becoming a bit cumbersome, so it will be nice to get this little (or big) guy outta me. This pregnancy overall hasn't been too bad--I was less sick during my 1st trimester than I was with Jase. My 2nd trimester is what really gave me a run for my money. My sciatic joint problems were oh, so painful. From what I researched online, that is typically the time frame where it will be a problem if it's going to be. For me, it sure was! I remember days I could barely walk, much less sit on the ground, lean over, etc. It was awful. Then one day, it was gone! Woo hoo! So now really I have been feeling pretty good overall...the heartburn was getting a bit ridiculous so I finally gave in to the Zantac (hallelujah!). That has helped a TON. I try to take only one/day at the most. So far that seems to be plenty sufficient. I haven't really had any major cravings except for 2 things: cold cereal with milk, and Coke. Yes, Coke. It's nuts. I know it isn't good for the baby so I try to avoid it--but wow, is the craving ever strong. And McDonald's has the BEST fountain Coke around. So if I see those golden arches and my car starts pulling into the parking lot...well...heh heh.
Update: Ok I'm back from the doctor's appointment! Baby is growing well! According to the ultrasound he's about 5 pounds 11 oz. I still have 5 weeks to go, and they estimate the baby growing about a half pound per week...so that puts him at roughly 8 pounds when he will be born. My doctor will be scheduling the c-section for April 8th. I have to be there at 6am. This is so strange to have like a "D-day!" Ha ha ha. But it's nice, too, bc it will make it so much easier to make arrangements for Jasey. Anyways, I am all sorts of anxious and nervous--ugh. I just hope he's healthy and strong. Oh and by the way, at my previous 2 appointments I've managed to stay the same weight. However, at this one I've gained 4 lbs in just 2 weeks! Eeks! But I can't complain--throughout this pregnancy I've lost more weight than I've gained, and for that I am super thankful!
One more thing. Forgot to say a couple nights ago while laying in bed, I felt the baby hiccuping! I have never noticed that before, so it was kind of cute.

Gotta love a baby that eats your calories. I loved hiccups it always made it feel so real that I had a little person inside of me. Except my 2 girls had hiccups all day long everyday. I did research on hiccups inutero and learned that it's good for the baby to have hiccups, its like breathing practice to them, which is important once they come out;)
Yes, this is what happens when one has children -- where did all that time you had to blog about the first baby go? Oh, yeah, on the first baby. :)
