So Amy reminded me that I haven’t written anything about the pregnancy or much pregnancy related.\u00a0 I spent so many weeks trying to deliberately not<\/span> mention anything that it’s hard for me to remember that I can talk about it now.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

So, how am I feeling?\u00a0 I’m feeling pretty good.\u00a0 Not super, but fine.\u00a0 I have definitely been much<\/span> more tired this time around–yes, sometimes yawning nonstop through entire lessons… I’ve found that I have to take early afternoon naps to keep going sometimes.\u00a0 I have also had a bit more nausea.\u00a0 It’s nothing serious (I’m not running to the bathroom every hour) but I feel more uncomfortable, especially after I eat.\u00a0 It took me a while to adjust to eating smaller meals because I would eat my “normal” amount and then 20 min. later feel awful.\u00a0 But all of these symptoms were worse a few weeks ago and have pretty much started to smooth themselves out.<\/p>\n

As far as weight… ugh.\u00a0 This was a tough Fall for me.\u00a0 I was terribly unmotivated to lose any weight at the end of the summer because I knew we were going to be trying to have another baby sometime soon, so I didn’t really stay down at my pre-pregnancy weight.\u00a0 I did<\/span> reach my pre-pregnancy weight last winter, but then I got too relaxed and started to gain it back.\u00a0 By the time I reached this fall I was already up 5 pounds.\u00a0 Then the stress and disappointment of trying and “failing” drove me to eat–no shocker there.\u00a0 While my weight suffered, I did gain peace and trust in learning to wait on God’s timing. \u00a0 However by the time we found out we were pregnant I was now up 5 more pounds… which means I started 10 pounds heavier with my second one than with Chloe.\u00a0 Not a great place to be… As of right now I have pretty much been sitting steady, which for me is a big accomplishment.\u00a0 Although the past week of holiday food and a lack of exercise because of potty training will have pushed me up a few pounds I’m sure!\u00a0 Either way I need to get back on track so I can try and not be the comically huge pregnant woman that I was last time!\u00a0 At least I know I am able to loose it after all is said and done since I did it once before…<\/p>\n

I sat down with Chloe today and tried to explain it to her.\u00a0 She listened and then I asked her to give me a hug and she did.\u00a0 Then she leaned over and put her eyes right next to my belly and I asked what she was doing–to which she responded that she was trying to see the baby.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 I explained she couldn’t see it and then just resolved herself to hugging my belly instead.\u00a0 Such a sweet girl.<\/p>\n

As far as other weird pregnancy things…. hmmm… yes, my heightened sense of smell is back.\u00a0 I’m always saying, “do you smell that?” to Tim these days.\u00a0 I haven’t had any craving so far.\u00a0 No PUPPS back so far (hallelujah!) but I do have Group B Strep that they are treating me for.\u00a0 I’m already having a harder time sleeping soundly at night (which might explain why I’m so tired…).\u00a0 And no food aversions.<\/p>\n

That might be more information than you were wanting, but there you have it!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
