So far, the pregnancy has been a bit different than the first time around. I started feeling sick immediately around 3 weeks and I'm just now starting to feel a bit better. Nausea was 24/7 this time around and eating sometimes made it better, but not always. I've had a lot of aversions instead of cravings - baby doesn't like ham or tea, how very sad!! - but I have been able to eat more than I did the first time around because I found that eating made the nausea go away most times. I was absolutely miserably exhausted for the first couple of months. Being pregnant and taking care of an older child is way more difficult than being pregnant and able to come home and nap whenever you want and eat whenever you want and basically do nothing if that's what you want to do. It was a rough couple of months, but that fog is starting to lift and I'm definitely getting my energy back.
I am starting to show already and I've felt the baby move a couple of times already (just tiny little thumps and flutters). I'm looking forward to getting some maternity clothes so I can feel comfy again!
Our ultrasound is scheduled for August 7 and I'd like to set up an appointment for a 3D ultrasound again. We can find out what the sex of the baby is at the hospital but Charlotte is not allowed in the room for the ultrasound and I really want her to be there when we find out if she will have a little brother or a little sister. I haven't set up that appointment yet but I will!
For now, I will leave you all with a baby update!
Baby Beans (as he/she is affectionately known as) is about 11cm long and is rolling around, hiccuping, and testing out his/her joints. Limbs akimbo! BB is about the size of an orange and getting bigger every day. :)
Congrats she will be an awesome Big Sister <3
