I originally planned on blogging weekly about my pregnancy, and then thought maybe just every few weeks, but now it seems like I am only getting around to it every trimester. I have been so busy with school and now I have a break, until fall! The second trimester is my favorite part of pregnancy. I am most comfortable and have the most energy during this time. I am hoping it doesn't change too much this next trimester. When I was pregnant with Jaden, I didn't know what healthy was. Before him I stayed the same weight and didn't workout very much. When I had to lose the baby weight is when I learned what healthy was. I enjoy working out and not eating crap food all day, so that has helped me during this pregnancy. Of course, I could still eat better....but I feel like I have portioned pretty well. On another note, Jaden has learned to kiss baby brother and loves it. It is so sweet! I know he doesn't truly understand his baby brother is in my belly, but I know (or hope!) once he is here Jaden will be so sweet to him. I've kind of had some moments when I get sad that it won't just be me and my little kid. Then I realize he is going to have a lot more fun with a brother around than he does with his lame mom :)
Isn't he the sweetest?! I watch him and think "I can't believe I'm lucky enough to have 2 boys!"
How far along: 23 weeks (not far from the 3rd trimester!) baby can now hear things and is over a pound :)
Maternity clothes: yep, yep, yep. I miss my cute jeans and my bathing suits
Sleep: The beginning of this trimester when I stopped being so sick, I slept great! I usually took a nap and then slept long hours at night. The last 3 weeks or so I feel like I am such a light sleeper. I have to get up and pee 1-2 times a night and I think I am just uncomfortable. I have already woken up from little guy moving so much. Good thing is I am not so tired during the day. Even with me sleeping light at night I don't take/need naps and wake up earlier than Jaden. But, I also crash a lot earlier :)
Best moment of this week: This week and the last 2 months....getting up to run. I love my morning runs. I always have to drag myself out of bed at 6am to go, but it has made my mornings more productive. When I get back from running I take a peaceful shower and enjoy a nice breakfast before Jaden wakes up. I love it :)
Miss anything: My clothes! And a good nights sleep
Movement: ALL DAY LONG!! This kid is going to come out with a karate black belt, I swear! There are very few moments he is not moving. Sometimes, I love it. Other times, I just want to sit and not feel like I have to lay out. When I am sitting he is just pounding on my bladder and I feel like I always have to pee!
Food cravings: Not specific cravings, but there are days that something just sounds SO good and I want it bad! I have been a lot better this pregnancy not giving into every craving. One thing I love, and I did with Jaden too, is a good PB&J. Yum! And ice cream, but that's not just a pregnancy craving :)
Anything making you queasy or sick: Certain perfume smells.
Have you started to show yet: Oh yes.
Gender: BOY!!!
Belly button in or out: It is all out now, for a little it was just a halfy, but not anymore!
Looking forward to: Getting his room set up, and getting some things I want/need. Also I am just anxious to go into labor. I was induced with Jaden and unless I absolutely have to, I won't get induced this time.
You look great!...and healthy. :) I think it's great you're still running, way to go! I wish I had kept a journal or blogged more when I was pregnant with Jack, cause I'm starting to forget (maybe it's because I'm old). So, I think this post is a great way to document things like you did. I'm excited to see the little guy and see Jaden meet his little brother. :) I hope you go into labor on your own and that it all goes well.
