Update on Baby #2!

Derek & I suddenly realized this week that we only have a mere 8.5 weeks before this baby gets here! Eek! Where has this pregnancy gone?! It has seriously flown by! Here's a quick update starting with a belly pic :)

{31 weeks}

How far along: 31.5 weeks. Here's a {LINK} to my 32 week post with Shelby to compare.

Weight Gain: According to my scale at home, about 13 pounds.

Maternity clothes: Still wearing all regular clothes with the exception of my maternity jeans...don't know what I would do without those! I'm ready for Spring weather to arrive to the Gulf Coast, so I can start to have more variety in my wardrobe again with all of my skirts & dresses. :)

Sleep: Okay :)  I have been having a little hip pain (which I had at this point in my pregnancy with Shelby), so I have to readjust every couple hours to get comfortable. But thankfully, I'm always able to go right back to sleep!

Movement: Yes! :)

Food cravings: None.

Symptoms: Just the hip pain that I mentioned above, but thankfully it's gotten much better now that I've stolen Shelby's giant caterpillar pillow which I'm using in lieu of a pregnancy pillow ;)  And this past week, the fatigue has really set in. I don't remember being this tired at this point in the pregnancy with Shelby, but I think I'm more tired this time around b/c I'm busy chasing after a rambunctious two year old. ;)  And this is totally random, but something worth noting so I'll remember one day. My belly button never popped out with Shelby--it just kind of flattened out. Well, my belly button totally popped out really early on in this pregnancy so I have been sporting an outie for quite a while now. I want to say it completely popped out around the end of the 1st trimester.

Gender: Another girl!

What I miss: Not much :)  I have been blessed with very easy/smooth pregnancies, so I don't have much to complain about! The only thing I miss right now (aside from the lack of hip pain & fatigue!) is being able to let Shelby climb all over me when she's playing or having her comfortably sit in my lap for stories...we have to readjust several times during our stories these days. ;)

Best moment this week: Getting Shelby moved into her "big girl room" (pictures to come soon!) and starting to get the nursery prepared for Little Sister's arrival.

What I'm looking forward to: My 32 week check-up tomorrow & hopefully deciding soon on a name for this sweet baby so we can start personalizing some things in her room!
