Week 15 -- Softball

My body still didn't get the message about how glorious the second trimemester is supposed to be. 

In better news, I've still gained just the 4 pounds that I had gained by week 6.  Nothing fits.  All the non-maternity clothes have been removed from the closet (and hopefully we will soon move the maternity clothes from the attic into my closet!).

I have been able to feel the baby move a couple of times.  I have to be very very still to feel it.  But it is pretty awesome.  It will be quite some time before anyone else can feel it.

Max still insists on giving me an extra long hug when I drop him off, because part of the hug is for the new baby.  I also asked about baby names today.  The babies decided together that we should call the new baby "bus-baby."  Mostly because they could see a bus when I asked them.  I did let them know that probably Daddy and I would be picking out the new baby's name.  But I thanked them for their idea.

Week 14 - Lemon

Welcome to the Second Trimester!

Unfortunately the morning sickness and complete exhaustion has not disappeared.  Maybe my body didn't understand that we are now in the glorious second trimester and life is supposed to be grand now.

The big news this week is that the baby can pee.  Max is really excited to know that not only does the baby go to work with me, but the new baby can also pee in my belly.

In other news, the high risk specialist has officially declared that there is no issue around my weekly positive lupus anticoagulant test result.  Woo hoo!

13 Weeks

Here's the Little Grape yesterday.  I was able to see lots during the sonogram.  I saw arms and legs and hands and feet.  But the photos are not as clear as being there in person.  But the Little Grape was very active and wiggly and moving around and being tiny and adorable.

The baby is about the size of a peach this week...

12 Weeks

Looks like the Little Grape is bigger in size but not yet up to the next piece of fruit.  She can pee now.  Inside me.  Awesome.  But on the plus side, I can push her around and make her squirm.  I just won't be able to feel it.  So be nice in there Little Grape!  Sonogram is next Monday.  12 weeks and 6 days.  So a long wait for this last week, but at least the baby will be that little bit bigger which should make the tests a little easier to complete.  I'm looking forward to seeing the little squirm worm moving around.
