Hi everyone!
I don't really have a week-by-week recap for you, as I'm technically writing this at 30 weeks, which is in 3rd trimester and I can't recall everything that happened by the week. But I will go over some high lights...
It was SO nice that my nausea went away around 14 weeks; that was such a relief! Espeically because we took a road trip to Ohio when I was 15 weeks.. I can't imagine what being in the car that long would of been like feeling queasy! Also, I can finally eat when I want and not feel sick all the time. And having a bump that is noticeable is nice, too. It feels special to be pregnant, and it's nice when people notice.
The very best part of this trimester was finding out the gender of the baby. Jake and I went to my anatomy scan when I was 18 weeks and got to look at all the fun things about the baby on the screen. We even got to see the little face in 3D which I was not expecting! We did not get to see that with Levi. The reason Jake and I were so sure we were having another boy is because we thought the tech let us see a little peepee on accident! In hindsight, it was probably the umbilical cord. So when the pinata bursted out pink confetti and candy, we couldn't believe it!
Well, that's about all I can think to write about this easy breezy trimester, so let's get to the photos!
**UPDATES**
Total weight gain: 15 pounds... will I reach the 36 I gained with Levi? Seems unlikely to do between now and then, but you never know!

**UPDATES**
Total weight gain: 15 pounds... will I reach the 36 I gained with Levi? Seems unlikely to do between now and then, but you never know!
Symptoms: engergy, nesting! Slight heartburn and slight discomfort in my lady bits.. but overall felt great. And it's so fun to feel baby move all the time!
Maternity clothes: Bought a few new things here and there, but still try to make a lot of my clothes work. I don't see the need in spending a ton when I don't see myself getting pregnant again ;)
Stretch marks: hard to tell what's old and what's new, but pretty sure I'll walk away with some new ones when all is said and done
Sleep: So-so. It's been uncomfortable to lay on my back the last half of this trimester, so I flip flop from side to side all night, and not to mention get up to pee what feels like 10 times a night. Then I sometimes wake up randomly and have a hard time falling asleep. But I'm not TOO uncomfortable yet.
Best moments: Finding out gender! Can't believe we are having a girl!!!! We SO thought it was going to be a boy!
Miss anything?: Having a drink! And sleeping the way I want, either on my stomach or side.
Movement: All the time! It first started as tiny twitches, now it's pokes and flips!
Food cravings: Not particularly, just wanting sweets all the time.. but that's me even when not pregnant haha
Food aversions: Not really!
Belly button: flattened
Wedding ring: fits normal
Mood: pretty good, haven't snapped at anyone.. yet ;)
Looking forward to: Meeting this sweet girl! And getting the nursery done.
Baby bump: Have been sporting quite a cute bump.. I'm told I'm all belly, and I agree, thank God!
