Braedan and his pool

Here's some pictures of my son Braedan and his favorite thing in the world!  His pool!  He'll even find his swim diapers and hand them to you, which means he wants to go swimming!

Fourth of July Photos

Here's some fun pictures from our fourth of July from the beginning of this month.  The family came over, and we had a BBQ in the backyard, and Kya & Braedan had a blast with the fireworks, sparklers, and glowsticks!

11-13 Weeks!!

Been very sick lately, and crazy busy as we *might* be moving soon.   Still nauseous, although I believe I'm on the brink of the blessed Second Trimester.   I believe with Braedan the morning sickness stopped around 14-15 weeks, so we'll see.

Well, I'm starting to show, I'm officially in maternity clothes, and I got some really cute maternity clothes so I don't mind so much wearing them.  It's funny, my co-workers don't know I'm pregnant yet, but I think they suspect.  Only my boss knows right now.

Something exciting.. I'm feeling my baby kick!  I thought I was weird when I first started to feel Tinkerbell at 11 weeks, but my mom says you feel it earlier with your second pregnancy.  Now at 13 weeks, I REALLY feel my baby move!  Last week Braedan slept with me because he was being a pill and couldn't go to sleep, and he rested his feet on my upper stomach, well the baby didn't like that and kicked back!  Sibling rivalry has started already!

10 Weeks!

Ok ok, so this post is a week late.  Been kinda crazy for me these last few days.  Fourth of July was a hit, Andy's parents and then Mike & Natalie came over with our sweet little niece Kya.  I'll have to post up pictures.

So far with the pregnancy, we met with the midwife on Thursday.  We got to hear the heartbeat!!!  It was just for a couple seconds, then my little tinkerbell wiggled away.  Apparently the peanut allergy was non pregnancy related, so I get to see an allergist sometime soon.  Other than that, everything is right on track!  I'm so excited for my next check-up, to hear that heartbeat again!!

Let's see.. nausea is at it's peak I think.  I hope it's a good sign that the baby is really growing and the placenta is near completion.  I'm usually not in the mood to eat anything at all.  Then I get sick because I don't eat anything.  So then I have to force it down, then lie down for awhile to keep it in.  Fun stuff!!

9 Weeks!

My poor husband.  The morning sickness right now is really horrible, I'll get a craving for something, really bad (it's more like what I can eat than what I really want), and then it'll bug me to the point of tears.  My husband will go get it for me, I'll take 2-3 bites, then get sick. :(

The allergies have let up some, but I still feel dry and dehydrated all the time.  If I drink too much though, I throw up, so I have to find that happy medium.

I'm so excited for my appointment next week!  Hopefully they will find a heartbeat, if not, it's ok, I'll give it until my next appointment.  Lovely backwards uterus! :)

Here's an interesting video on babycenter.com about the first 9 weeks of pregnancy.
