We've had alot of fun telling our families and friends. Im trying to soak up those fun moments because this will be our last and I know it's the last time we'll tell people we're having another baby for the first time, make sense? Lol. Im trying to embrace ALL of it...especially the sickness. Im trying to do my best and not complain but WOW it has hit me so hard. Why is it we forget all of this?! Jeremy sure doesnt ha ha. I do remember how sick I was with both kids and have said so many times I have no clue how I worked full time in a professional setting with clients and felt this way. Because now it takes everything I have to get out of bed and not look like the walking dead! It has been ROUGH. It hit me at 6 weeks and now as I'm typing this I'm 14 weeks and still struggling. I will say, it has lightened up, then I got hit with a nasty stomach virus so Im slowly feeling back to normal. Normal as in, my mornings are the best, I can stomach lunch, dinner is still up in the air because I never want meat and I just cant stomach cooking anything, and then by 8 Im DONE. Thankfully my little sleeping partner Owen is pretty easy to get down.
Edit- Im now 16 weeks and just now finishing this! This shows how my lack of energy has really taken a toll on me!
I will say, Im feeling MUCH better. I dont feel sick all day which is nice but some of my nights are still pretty tough. And I have NO energy. Even when I get a burst and decide to clean the house top to bottom, I can only hang for a couple hours then I truly need a nap, it wears me out! I thought during the second trimester you got an energy burst....not here! Im trying to hang but with so.much.baseball our nights are late and Im usually beat! I'm going to do my best to update as much as possible, I am SO behind on posting but will catch up!
SIXTEEN WEEKS!
Feeling? Feeling good most days, some days I feel kinda yucky but the all day nausea is mostly gone. Nights are still hard, although, I am eating dinner! That's a win for me! By bedtime I am DONE, I am so tired and can barely stay up but overall I am much better than before.
Maternity Clothes? I did cave and buy maternity shorts because none of my shorts fit, I do have a pair of jeans that fit, all my tops fit but I think the days are numbered. Here's the good news- I can wear yoga pants and workout clothes almost everyday so I wont be spending a bunch on maternity clothes, yay! When I worked I had to get super nice maternity clothes to wear to client meetings so now Im grateful to get to dress comfy each day!
Sleep? Im am sleeping great and hard, I might wake up once a night but always go right back to sleep. My exhaustion catches up with me by 7:30
Cravings? Carbs, carbs, carbs. Ha ha I am actually eating more protein these days but I usually stick to carbs. I found this amazing bagel at a local bagel shop, it takes everything I have not to get it every day. Cheddar jalapeno bagel, SO good. I still havent been able to go back to my hot, black coffee in the morning so I switched to decaf coffee, add ice and add this delicious Salted Caramel Chocolate creamer and make my own iced coffee. I cant wait til morning to make a huge cup!
Gender? We're pretty sure we know, looking forward to surprising the kids!
Symptoms? Nothing too bad right now, just the nausea that hits at random times. And the exhaustion, I guess Ill never get energy back!
Best moment of the week? Love hearing Owen's funny questions about the baby, he is always asking me about the baby. Hannah keeps changing her mind on a boy or girl!
What I am looking forward to: Next doctor appt, May 23, Anatomy/Gender ultrasound!
