Pregnancy

I thought I would be much better at these updates this time around, but I am not. Life is so busy with a little one running around, a baby growing like a weed in my tummy, and trying to run a household.  

I am just over 11 weeks now, and I have been feeling great for the past week. I was nauseous for a few weeks, then I was hormonal for a few days, and now I am just sleepy. Thank goodness all the nausea and crazy hormones have ceased, those we very difficult to handle.

I am finally able to make dinner again for my family. I know Wes appreciates that :) 

I still nap every day when Cam naps. It is glorious. 

My appetite is in full swing. I won't even tell you how much I ate for breakfast the other day. It is gross. I am still shocked at my appetite.

One of my favorite parts of pregnancy is feeling the baby move around in my tummy. With Camden I felt him for the first time around 14 weeks. I was hoping I would feel this one sooner, but by sooner, I was thinking around 13 weeks. Well I was pleasantly surprised a few days ago when I thought I felt a flutter as soon as I laid down in bed. A day later I felt it again, and then last night I was sure it was the baby. I have felt it twice again today and I couldn't be more excited to already be feeling the best little movements ever. 

I still haven't gained much weight...well that was as of Friday at my appointment, since my appetite came back this weekend, I am sure I have added maybe 3 lbs. in the last 3 days. But I am not worried about it. I lost all of my weight with Camden plus an extra few pounds because I nursed him for so long! Nursing=best baby weight loss secret, just saying.

As far as the gender, we both think it is another boy. I thought as soon as I got pregnant that I wanted a little girl. I have always dreamed of having a sweet little girl, mostly so I could indulge in hair bows and sparkles. However, now that we have Camden, {who we wouldn't trade for sparkles} I feel like I might be a Mom who just has boys. I sort of have this boy thing a little figured out, and I would love for Camden to have a brother to help burn off some of his never ending energy. Of course, we both agree that boy or girl, we will be thrilled.

Names?

Nope, we don't have any. Nor have we felt close to having one figured out. I think we will wait until we know what we are having and then decide. It is hard enough narrowing down names, I don't know why we feel like we have to know a boy and girl name, when we will only need one. So baby #2 is going to be baby #2 for a while I think.

Everything else has been great. I always feel like we are so busy, but I think it is just because I am growing a baby...it is very hard work. 

I will leave you with a picture of the tum tums...and then I am going to go chow down on some very hot, delicious brownies fresh from the oven!! Mmmmmm
