It's crazy how I was pregnant with Goldie for 2 years and I've only been pregnant with this baby for 4 months! Really though... time is FLYING! I can't believe that basically next month we will have a baby. I had my appointment yesterday, and we got to pick out a birthdate (I have to get a C-section... this is the only perk haha). The determining factor was whenever the doctor that delivered Goldie was on call... so baby girl #2 is coming AUGUST 17! They do c-sections first thing in the morning so it could be anytime from 5:30-8-30... we will know for sure in a couple weeks. It is seriously so surreal I can't believe it!
Pregnancy Symptoms: Mostly just a growing belly... I can't see my feet, so I basically can only wear slip on shoes, because it's way too much effort to try to put on other shoes. I also have low iron this time so I've been having to take an iron supplement on top of my prenatal vitamin. I get winded walking up the stairs, have to pee like 100 times a day... all while chasing my busy toddler around... and man I love it!! I do get extremely sore by the end of the day!
Weight gain: About 25 lbs.
Blood Pressure: They weren't able to read it this time, they tried both my arms a couple times, but couldn't find it.
Cravings: Since it's been so hot lately I crave like soft serve ice cream... and coconut snow cones with sweet and condensed milk on top.
Queasy: I can't say that anything makes me want to gag anymore-- yay!!
Movement: this baby is still more mellow than goldie was... but she is starting to become a little mover as well. She is most active at night when I lay down. At our appointment yesterday the doctor said she was moving a ton when he was reading the heart rate, I think I don't notice as much because I am a little busier this time around. The doctor also said she is already head down, so that is exciting!
Goldie is still a little confused that she will soon have a little baby that is going to be living with her, and taking up half of mom's attention, but still loves to snuggle my belly and give sissy kisses. She can also say the name we like and it is like the cutest thing ever!!
