Baby 2 // 28 weeks

 Added to her nursery a bit this weekend :)

(I made the tassel garland!! Time consuming (2 hours total), but cost me less than $7 (ive seen Etsy shops sell them at 18 tassels for $30...I did 30 tassels for less than $7!!!)) 

 

 

Gender: Its a GIRL!!!!!!!! Gianna Pizza! (no middle name yet, hubbys 'choice' since the first name was my choice in the end)

Weight: I find out today and will update at 29 weeks

Size of Baby: Eggplant...Monday 11/17 she weighed in at 2.5 pounds and right on 28 weeks :)

Belly button in or out: in still...my belly is starting REALLY to get itchy! ahh

Sleep: Good this week! i have only been getting up once to pee at night...but I have to RUN to the bathroom lol

Best moment of the week: Emma has been talking non-stop about her Siser coming after Xmas and that we still need to buy her a bed lol. She tells me 'Momma, I wanna go in Gian-nas room and touch the baby!!' (aka she touches the wall we painted haha)

Worst moment of the week: I have been super emotional this week; just looking at me wrong could make me cry.

Miss anything: Sleeping on my tummy. Its a real struggle. Occasionally ill find myself partially rolled on my tummy and ill wake up uncomfortable realizing this

Difference between pregnancies: Still everything. I have had no crazy dreams, with Emma I had tons. No weight gain; with Emma I gained 50+ pounds. I hate everything but water!

Movement: this week, she is head down, spine to the right and feet wrapped up at the top and I can definitely feel all the movement on the left side of my body

Cravings: Cup-of-soups!! Strange. I just wanted one so bad the other day and when I was at the hospital 2 weeks ago, they told me my sodium levels were down and so I figured why not have ramen haha...it was sooo good. Ive had 2 this week so far. Oops.

Queasy or sick: I have been feeling great this week!!

Looking forward to: My brother comes into to town this week for 3 weeks!!!! and Christmas....this has nothing to do with babe. But I really am looking forward to spending this last Christmas as a family of 3 and watching Emma experience Santa and really try to understand the holidays is amazing and I know it will be even more amazing next year! oh and we have 'Friends'giving this weekend! So im looking forward to that too!! :)



Baby 2 // 27 weeks!

 

Gender: Its a GIRL!!!!!!!! and we picked a name :)

Weight: I was extremely sick for 7 days just over a week ago, I will find out next week how much, if any more I lost! 

Size of Baby: head of a cauliflower

Belly button in or out: in still...my belly is starting to get itchy! ahh

Sleep: Last week, sleep wasnt a thing...this week, so far ive been doing good! Only getting up once a night to tinkle

Best moment of the week: Last night I asked Emma if she wanted to give her baby sister a kiss and she so excitedly popped up and said  yes! It was soooo cute, she gave my belly a few kisses and went on her way.

Worst moment of the week: 25-27 weeks were horrible. On my Bday, James woke up with kidney stones and we spent 48 hours in the hospital, as soon as he was released, I started throwing up. After 3 days of not keeping anything down (i knew if I was peeing I wasnt dehydrated, so I kept drinking the water even though only 1/3 stayed with me), I went to the hospital for a day stay, they couldnt do much and sent me on my way. I spent the next 4 days in bed trying to ANYTHING. I eventually was able to eat some soup by Friday and by Sunday, I was good as new! And now im back to myself again :)

Miss anything: laying on my tummy! I am a stomach sleeper and its driving me bonkers

Difference between pregnancies: Still everything. I have had no crazy dreams, with Emma I had tons. No weight gain; with Emma I gained 50+ pounds. I hate everything but water!

Movement: summersaults and stonger jabs this week! Love feeling it!!

Cravings: Sonic ice!! I went through 3 bags while I was sick

Queasy or sick: Good for this week

Looking forward to: my ultrasound on Monday!

Ill let the pictures speak for themselves and I cannot wait to take her to the Xmas Zoo Lights at night!
