Comparing Pregnancies

Comparing this pregnancy to the one with Bella:

First Trimester:  I was a lot sicker and more exhausted with this one.

Second Trimester:  Still sick and had more headaches with this one.

Third Trimester:  About the same but not as nervous about the delivery since it's a scheduled c-section.  Just worried about taking care of two kids.

Cravings with Bella:  dairy queen, wine, chai tea latte, burgers, fries, guacamole and salsa, mac n cheese, waffles and frapuccinos or anything blended.  Cravings after Bella: Hershey kisses, caffeine, and sugar cookies.

Cravings with this pregnancy:  dairy queen, peanut M & M's, pancakes, pizza, frappuccino, sugar cookies, carmel apples, spicy buffalo chicken salad, dr. pepper, lemonade, or anything cold.  Cravings after Adalynn: caffeine, chocolate chip cookies, and nutter butters.

Coffee and pop made me sick with all pregnancies during the first trimester.

Movement with Bella:  with Bella I could feel kicks and punches.

 Movement with Adalynn:  Addie would move a lot but it felt like flips and rolls.

Blood pressure

Blood pressure was 136/86 today.  I've gained 20.8 pounds so far!!!  Oey!  At least I weigh less than I did with Bella.

Almost 34 weeks

Had a doctors appointment today and my blood pressure is creeping up.  It was 121/77 two weeks ago and now it is 137/85.  I've gained 17 pounds!  Here we go!!! :-(

Grandpa

We had Grandpa Irwin's funeral yesterday.  So overwhelming with emotions when you are 8 months pregnant!  I wasn't aware they were going to have a military service with a 21 gun salute.  It was amazing.  It was great to see everyone just wish it was for a different reason.  Miss you Grandpa!!!

33 Weeks!

Love summer just wish it wasn't so hot.  So busy with baseball games, swimming, weddings,funerals, and birthdays...  We all went to Andy and Melanie's wedding last weekend.  It was a blast.  Bella loved dancing.  I think she was on the dance floor all night.  Ryan had a good time and made a memorable speech.  Good times with good friends

Bella danced with Ross and Wendy's kids all night

28 Weeks

I had a doctors appointment yesterday with the fantastic glucose test.  I failed the glucose test with Bella by one point so I was not looking forward to this one.  I drank the yummy drink and prayed I wouldn't have to come back and do the 3 hour test.  The rest of the appointment went great.  My blood pressure was 124/79!  Yay!  So far so good.  Oh and I got the call and I PASSED my glucose test!  And I've only gained 10 pounds so far.  Happy Happy Happy!!!  

24 Weeks

My appointment went great today.  Baby sounds healthy(140 BPM) and I am growing and my blood pressure(124/74) has been good.  Finally starting to feel better.  I have been a lot sicker during this pregnancy.  Maybe that's why I've only gained 5 pounds so far!  I also feel like I am more exhausted too but not sure if I'm more exhausted or just tired because I'm chasing a 1yr. old around.  Whatever the reason, it sucks and I am dog tired!!!  I have also been having more migraines with this pregnancy.  I had some with Bella but they went away by 20 weeks, but not with this one.  They have been getting worse so they gave me some medication to help me out.  Hope it works!
