Size of Baby:
According to a couple of books that I am following the baby 12 cm crown to rump, and it's weight is 4.5 ounces!
My Body:
I haven't felt to sick with this pregnancy (not like it was with Hayden). I have had morning sickness every morning which sometimes gets worse as the day goes on, but I try to ignore it. It is hard to be sick when you have a VERY active toddler! I have noticed that my legs are kinda achy all the time, but I don't really know if that is all pregnacy related or just sore from running around all day. One thing that I have noticed with this pregnancy is that I am SO emotional! I cry over EVERYTHING! Weather it is the X FACTOR, or some TLC show, Criminal Minds, movies, if it has any tinge of sadness or happiness I will be in tears! Poor Adrian! I the beginning of I had to deal with high blood pressure again ( same thing happened with Hayden). The doctor figured that it had to do with my hormones because my last couple of physicals my blood pressure was good. I took a blood pressure machine home and monitered it for 2 weeks every day, three times a day, really annoying! I went back last Friday and all my measurements were good so I HOPEFULLY will not have to do that again! Another thing that I notice more with this pregnancy is pelvis pain! NOT FUN! But my doctor told me I can take tylenol, which has been helping alot! I thought I was having a miscarriage, but the doctor heard the baby's heartbeat and said that it was normal and she will keep an eye on it! I remember having a little with Hayden but like this, I always feel like I am pulling muscles down there! Anyways, other then that I have no complaints!
Cravings:
I haven't had any crazy cravings yet! So far, just cereal like Honey Nut cheerios! And I cannot drink tap water! I cannot handle the smell of Arborg water, smells like city water! GROSS, I only drink bottled or filtered!
Movement:
I thought I felt the baby move the other day, well more like a flutter, but I am not sure! Ever since Hayden I have this "phantom baby" movements, where I think I feel something but in reality its just my imagnation! But the other day I pretty sure I felt something because it was lower!
The Inside Story:
- The baby is starting to make faces! Reasons it is doing it is because it discovering her/his developing muscles on it's face! ( we dont know what we are having, and we will not be finding out so don't jump to conclusions if I say he or she! :) ). It is developing the lanugo which is the fune hair that protects it's skin when it is in the womb. ( I hate calling the baby a it!) It's skeleton is starting to harden but will stay flexible that way it can make it's way through the birth canal! It's ears are in position, he/she can make fists and points thier toes as well! Very exciting!
I am super pumped to be having another baby, but in all honesty I am super scared and nervous for the labor and delivery, Hayden was NOT easy and SO long! I have already started praying the God will take away those nerves and bless me with a super easy delivery! And if not, then prepare for what is to come! If you are reading this, and you think of this then keep us in your prayers bacause we both have crazy nerves when it comes to the delivery! At first when I found out I was pregnant I was very excited but at the same time so scared I think after the excitement died off, I cried a very good cry! I wish all the bad memories from that would be gone, but no I have not forgotten! I remember every detail and can sometimes still feel the pain! But then I think to myself, women have been doing this for thousands of years, and God created us for this, I can do it again! WE can do it again! :)
Congrats again!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about having another baby! I want another one, but I am SO scared of the labor. Not so much the pain, but I am terrified I will have to have another c-section and that I will labor for another 12 hours without progress and I will feel out of control again. I really want to try to have a natural birth. They do say your second labor is was faster, so we have hope!
Thank You!
ReplyDeleteYa I read your posts about it, I could not stop crying! So glad that everything is okay! SO scary! I was the same way with Hayden I refused EVERYTHING that they wanted to give me! And this time around I think I will be the same way! Oh, I am hoping AND praying that it is easy and way better memory! Hope things are going good today! :)
