Baby #2

We are so excited to announce that baby number two is on the way! 

Baby is expected to make his appearance in June. 

I did a journal with my pregnancy with Maelee and it is something that I cherish very much and so I for sure wanted to make sure I did it again with this baby…

After I took the pregnancy test and found out that it was real, the sickness came on very fast. I had taken zofran with Mae and it helped me so much so I figured I would be fine once I got taking that.. I reacted different to it this time and started having really REALLY painful stomach aches. So much that I would get knocked to my knees in pain, which was scary. So I got off it and just dealt with the nausea. For about 7 weeks, our days consisted of getting out of bed, fixing Mae breakfast and ready for the day.. and then back to bed for the rest of the day. I'm not even kidding I did very minimal house work and only did laundry because I had to. I am BEYOND THANKFUL for my amazing, sweet daughter. I think she knew that I was really sick.. she stayed by me all day in my bed.. just playing with her toys.. being such a big girl and never got mad or impatient with me because she was bored, she even stayed by my side when I was hunched over the toilet throwing up (GROSS). I felt like the worst mom ever, but it was really REALLY bad.. I just couldn't do anything. It's hard when you are that sick and haven't told anyone and you have to pretend to be alright when you really feel like dying, but we got through it and now it feels so far behind us! 

Once my first trimester was over I felt a million times better and my energy started to come back. It's true what they say that you show faster with your second and the back pain has come on a lot faster then with my first. I have also been having round ligament pain and it's awful.. I feel like the baby lives in my ribs. I seriously cannot breathe. I can't ever get in a comfortable position because I can't breathe!! Other then these things, I really feel great! I am just enjoying my time left with my Maelee bug and am enjoying my precious sleep as much as possible.

 I'm more than halfway with my pregnancy now.. I kind of can't believe it. It's weird. I feel like it is going by fast so far but slow at the same time?! It doesn't really make sense. 

The next few weeks are going to be lots of shopping and decorating going on so that I can get done with the baby's room early and take the last little bit to relax and enjoy my time with Maelee.
As I am posting this I am 22 weeks and am still feeling really good. No real complaints.
Every once and a while I think ahead to delivery and I get really… like REALLY freaked out and my anxiety kicks in.. I can't believe in just a few short months we will be a family of four!
