Hey Second Trimester! Good bye nausea! Hello Energy!
Now, that I'm done in fantasy land, I will say that the first tri went by very fast and I hope the second is just as fast. Let it be known that I am not a fan of pregnancy. It is a means to an end, frankly. I want my own children, then I pay the piper.
I am still very, very tired by 7pm, but that might be because of the 2 year old and it being summer. Jake did pick up a lot of the slack in the first tri, but now that I am feeling ok more or less, I have been doing more things with the boy and around the house. It's getting better. The nausea is still worse at night, but I think at this point, it's just the tired that is the biggest factor. My belly is also starting to stick out too. A month or so earlier than last time. I think I was still hanging onto my regular jeans until 15 or 16 weeks and I've been in maternity pants since 10 weeks this time. But, I started out about 10-15 pounds heavier this time too, so there's always that factor.
You know, I was just reading my other blog, from Ryan. I was still feeling sick well into week 15, so maybe this isn't so different than last time. Huh! Interesting. Maybe I should not worry so much about the fact that I still feel terrible. And maybe this one is a boy too. All I can say is: Huh!
You know, this time, I don't care either way. If it's a boy, super, because I'll have a ton of clothes that I can try to salvage and boy stuff galore. And if it's a girl, that's great too. The only part I dread is picking out a name. Jake likes two names, and one isn't even ours to use really. Max and Beckett are the only two on the list and Josh and Kristine currently have the user rights to Beckett. So, there's some thinking that needs to happen here. I do like Max though. Max Power! lol
Had the ultrasound on Monday -- It went really well. That doctor is so funny. So German. haha
Everything is so far, so good. The doctor knew my dates this time, as I actually have an LMP this time, so by dates, I should have bee 12 weeks, 6 days and Baby was measuring 13 weeks, 1 day, so I'm right on time. Baby was moving around and practicing swallowing and stuff. It kept putting it's hands by it's face and the swallowing looked like talking. It was pretty funny. It was very baby-like at this point too, which was fun to see. I still have to scan in the pics, but all-in-all, things went really well.
My next appt is Thursday at 4:45. I figure that we can talk about c-section dates at that appt. I'm sort of shooting for Dec 16th, mostly because it's a Friday and I can spend the weekend in the hospital. But, if that's too early, Dec 19th is also fine. I figure I'll have to be waiting until 20 weeks for the anatomy scan (which we sort of did, but 13 weeks is too early to check the heart and the brain all the way...and the sex, of course!), so that will probably be around the beginning of August.
Fun times!
