13 weeks


I'm in the second trimester. Some say it's 14 weeks but I say 13 weeks. I'm still not sick. I started having a hard time sleeping. I have to take calcium and vitamin D to help with pregnancy induced restless leg syndrome. I wish I knew about it 5 pregnancies ago. It has saved my life. I've embraced naps as well. Ok it takes an hour or more from my productive days but better than being cranky. The kids are looking forward to finding out the gender. So am I!!! We don't really have a preference and will be happy with whatever. Lily wants a girl because of our pattern. G/G, B/B, G/?  Emma thinks it's a boy. Peter is team boy. Benji is certain it is a boy. Miriam is soooo certain it's a girl. Jonathan thinks it is a boy. I think it's a boy but since I think that I think it's a girl. I'm always wrong when I try to guess with myself. I have a 98% accuracy when I guess others. So weird. This week I have an NT scan so I'm excited to see the baby again.

12 weeks


I feel like I always look mad in my pictures. Anyway I'm not sick anymore!!!! I've been feeling better for a week now. I went my midwife appointment today for the first time. I really liked the office and they are taking measures to give me extra care. I'll be seeing a perinatalogist as well. I'll get more ultrasounds and then later in the pregnancy I'll get injections to prevent preterm labor. I'm really happy about the care I'm getting. It's not so crucial but it's always smart to be prepared. Who knows I may not have preterm labor this time around. But better safe than sorry. My dr was surprised how far up my uterus was. Usually by 12 weeks it's barely above the pelvic bone. Mine is 3 inches above it. She said even though ive had babies she's shocked by how high it is. She thought maybe my dates were wrong but that's not possible. Haha I guess my body has a great memory and moving long at a fast pace. 

I'm excited to get a ultrasound to check gender in the next 3 weeks. I don't have a gender preference and keep going back and forth about what I think it is. I felt boy strongly at first but I'm always wrong when it comes to me. So now I'm thinking girl. Who knows. I'm just excited to be close to my second trimester. Just one more week.

11 weeks

It looks like shrunk some. My morning sickness is almost all gone. If I get dehydrated I feel bad but that's a easy fix. I had another US with my RE and decided I'm moving on to the dr that will deliver me. I have my first appointment April 20th. 
I'm so excited to be a couple weeks away from my second trimester. Babies heartbeat is 169.

10 weeks

I'm 10 weeks and I'm starting to feel better. I'm not so tired and my nausea has eased up. Hopefully I didn't just jinx myself. I'm already feeling this little one move. It's so crazy. I feel little bubbles popping in my tummy. WhileI listen to babies heartbeat I hear and feel little thumps. This little one is strong I guess. We really don't care what the baby is but I'm excited to find out. Benji is so involved in the pregnancy and likes to know how big the baby is every week. I'm so excited about this pregnancy because of how it will add to my children's lives. Just to experience a baby and understand it is so great. I have another ultrasound on Friday and I'm excited to see the baby again.
