16 weeks!!!

How far along? 16 weeks

Weight loss/gain: I was down 4 pounds at the doctor's office on Wednesday according to what I started at with them.  I've got my appetite back so now it's just finding the right foods to eat and eating enough!

Maternity clothes:  I'm slowly starting to run out of regular work tops. I need to wash all my old ones so I can start wearing those.  I'm in maternity pants full time now!

Symptoms:  I've got a lot of energy during the day which is great but then once Dylan is down for the night, I pretty much am too!  

Sex (of baby):  Appointment date is set for May 13th @ 9am!!!!!

Sleep: I get up to pee at least once a night.  Sleep is still great though.

Best moment this week? Hearing baby's heartbeat on the doppler at the doctor's office!  a steady 146!!

Movement:  I thought I felt something two weeks ago but I haven't felt anything since.  Hoping this changes within a week or two!

Food cravings:  I was on a pepper kick last week.

Belly button in or out?  Flat during the day and out at night

What I miss? Regular diet coke and iced coffee from DD

What I'm looking forward to? Finding out if this baby is a boy or girl!  Less than a month now!

Milestones:  Nothing yet

What I'm nervous about:  Going for a VBAC and ending with another Csection

13 Weeks

...And one day :)

This is our weekly update!!

How far along? 13 weeks 1 day 

Weight loss/gain:  I'm still down about 3 pounds from the beginning of my pregnancy.  I'm okay with this though because I was never back to my pre pregnancy weight anyway.  Plus I have 27 more weeks to pack on the pounds :) 

Maternity clothes: I'm not in maternity tops yet but I'm almost 100% in maternity pants.  It definitely is holding true that you show a lot faster the second time around.

Symptoms:  They are fading.  From about week 4 until week 11, I could barely stand the thought of eating food.  Water was even making me think about puking!  The past two weeks have been great because I've been able to eat meals!  I'm still working on getting all my nutrients I need but I'll get there!  

Sex (of baby):  We won't be finding out until sometime late May!  Feels like forever away!!

Sleep: Just ask Jason...he's not thrilled with my sleep. LOL  Most nights I fall asleep on the couch between 6:30-8 and I'm down until morning!  

Best moment this week? Nothing pregnancy wise but it was Dylan's 3rd Easter and it was so much fun watching him hunt for eggs!

Movement:  None yet.  I don't think I'll feel anything for a few more weeks.

Food cravings:  Nothing in particular.  Just trying to eat healthy.

Belly button in or out?  Flat?  It was an innie before Dylan but now it has this weird hernia on it so it won't be long before it's sticking out.

What I miss?  Philly rolls (sushi)

What I'm looking forward to? Finding out if Dylan will have a baby brother or sister

Milestones:  Nothing

What I'm nervous about:  Trying to decide between a VBAC and another c-section.

Easter Weekend

This past weekend was Easter and, as usual, we were super busy.  Saturday was spent at Papaw Phil's house where we had an Easter egg hunt for all the kiddos.  They had an absolute blast!  It was Dylan's first time hunting for eggs and he did great!  He was running around trying to find as many as he could!  He got a basket from the Easter bunny too!

Sunday morning we woke up to Easter eggs hidden all over our house by the bunny himself ;)  Dylan, again, was running around screaming "egg"!!  He was too cute.

 After he found all the eggs, we boiled some eggs and colored them.  It was definitely messy but he had so much fun dipping the eggs in the colors!  We cleaned up then headed over to Papa Ron's house for brunch.  Dylan was the center of attention.  He somehow snuck out of there with THREE Easter baskets.  We are truly blessed with some great family.

We're pretty sure Dylan is going to follow in Jason's footsteps because he's already taking great shots with our DSLR!

 After Papa's house, we headed back to Pontiac to cousin Jennifer's house where we go to do yet another Easter egg hunt!  By this time, Dylan was a total pro and knew just what to do!  Again, somehow the Easter bunny managed to make it here too! LOL  We were all spent after this Easter and headed home!  It's always nice to be with family but it's so hard to spend a lot of time with everyone!
