What’s new with the pregnancy? Lots of movement. Nick felt and saw baby move for the first time over the past couple weeks. I’ve also felt the need to “nest'” lately. I want to re-organize and clean the whole house…if only I had the energy to do it!
Milestones: We are in the last week of the second trimester. Almost to the home stretch and the 3rd trimester. It doesn’t seem like it should be that close. I’m trying to savor all the movements from inside and the time when I am able to focus on Bryson and Mya, while baby is constantly happy in there. Only a few more months of this though; then things will be a bit different!
How is eating going? Much better. No major food aversions, so can’t complain at this point. I’m just always hungry!
How is sleep and energy? Sleep has been a little better. I’m actually getting some longer stretches at night, but I still need lots of sleep. At least 8 hours a day is needed or I can’t function too well.
How much weight have you gained? Maybe a little over 20 pounds? Our scale’s battery died, so I haven’t weighed myself much lately.
What are you unsure about? Still unsure about names. We did start a short list, but I’m sure it is going to take some time to narrow this process down. Also, still unsure how I’m going to manage 3 on my own. I know Nick and I can do it when we’re together, but taking 9 months off from work means 9 months where I’ll be on my own for half the week. That’s going to be a big adjustment for all of us!
What are you most excited about? I am excited about seeing Mya and Bryson’s interactions with baby. I’m also excited to have everything organized and ready to go for baby. I’ve also been missing beer lately, so I’ll be excited to have one of those again in a few months. 🙂
