Our little “pumpkin” & I standing in front of the Old Mill along the Cades Cove Loop Road in the Great Smoky Mountains.
I thought it might be fun to share a little bit about my pregnancy this time around. I’m totally copying this idea from my sister-in-law Renee who is also expecting. Isn’t that fun? 🙂
I’m just now starting to feel a little better. We are so thankful for this pregnancy but it has been more challenging than we thought it would be. (Not near as difficult in my opinion as when I was pregnant with Elijah though.) I’ve had my fair share of morning sickness but I am so thankful that the throwing up is subsiding for the most part. 🙂 I lost a little bit of weight and have regained some of it. I’m currently -4 pounds from my starting weight. I have been concentrating on eating more fruits & vegetables. I’m still not feeling most vegetables but I have been making Green Smoothies in order to get my veggies! Brandon was horrified when he picked up a recipe for a Spinach Green Monster Smoothie today. Ha, ha!
Right now our baby is the size of a sweet potato. I had a doctor’s appointment last week and again we were able to hear the heartbeat (155). That NEVER gets old! Brandon wasn’t able to go with me and I really wish I had recorded it for him. One of the coolest things lately is the fact that our little pumpkin is really starting to move a lot! I first felt the baby move while on vacation at about 16 weeks. This week I have really noticed a lot of movement which is so fun. It’s one of my favorite aspects of actually being pregnant!
We have our 20 week ultrasound at the end of the month and have to make the difficult decision of whether or not we are going to peek. I really want to be surprised at the birth but then I also want to spend the next 20 weeks sewing like crazy. What to do? Do you have any guesses?
I guess girl! I think you should find out – sewing for a girl would be fun. And decorating a nursery is fun, regardless of boy or girl decor. 🙂
oh yay, these are so fun! i did this for zuzu and it has been really neat to go back and compare how i feel at a certain week of pregnancy with june to how i felt with zuzu.
hmmm my guess is a boy! being surprised could be fun~!
