Growing Love - 12 weeks
How far along? 12 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 3-4 lbs, haven't weighed in a few days
Maternity clothes? I broke down and pulled out the belly band for my work pants this week! yay! I will be able to breath. I remember hating this thing b/c it felt like my pants were going to fall down and that everyone could tell so I am interested to see how bad I hate it
Stretch marks? Nope.
Best moment this week: Getting to spend the past 3 days with my little family
Miss anything: Being in this horrible in between stage. Which I am sure I have 2 more months in it before I can justify pulling out a pair of maternity jeans

Harper did much better holding up her chalkboard today! She was so cute.
Feeling great this week. My worst symptom is still my stuffy nose but I am getting so use to it now, I don't even notice it all the time
I am still on the, I do not want to find out gender, but Shawn is way against it so I am going to embrace finding out. Unless he changes his mind!
I have been really hungry the past few days. Like excessively hungry. I have eaten and eaten and eaten.
One more week of the first trimester!
Sleep is still good but I have to get up a time or two a night to go to the restroom. I hate that!
Have I mentioned that I like no boy names, I have a few girl names that I like(that no one else does) but man, boy names are hard. I like unique but not to unique. If its a girl I have a super cute name picked out, I just need to sell Shawn on it.
Growing Love - 11 weeks - 3/5/11
I am going to be honest, Harper is not he most cooperative with holding the chalkboard up. She has alot more weeks to learn though!
How far along? 11 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Still hanging in at 3lbs, maybe 3 1/2
Maternity clothes? No, but I am trying to find my belly band b/c my newest, favorite suit pants are sooooo tight!
Stretch marks? Nope.
Stretch marks? Nope.
Best moment this week: I love when Harper comes up to my belly and says "baby in Mommie's Belly"
Movement: Not yet.
Food cravings: I have eaten Cuban Grille like 5 times last week. I love that place pregnant or not pregnant. I have been really dreaming about some Copeland's up in NWA. I haven't had it in years and their Blackened Bayou Chicken is calling my name!
Anything making you queasy or sick: I think that is all gone.
Have you started to show yet: No one could tell but they might say, hmmm, Carrie is packing on a little weight in the middle!
Gender: This week I started thinking boy?
Labor Signs: Better not.
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Mood: Great!
Looking forward to: Picking out bedding, monogramming onesies, thinking of names, etc.
Another 2 weeks and it is see ya first trimester. It has gone so fast and I do not like it. I am not and will not rush this pregnancy. I want to soak in every last minute. I want to have the best summer with Harper. I want time to go slow so I can enjoy each and every kick, every second with Harper being an only child. Its so emotional for me to think of having another baby and cutting her time in 1/2. She gets so jealous when I hold another baby. I am not sure how this will work. I worry about breastfeeding and just sitting there with a baby forever while she is wanting me. It all scares me. I wonder if this baby will be as good of a sleeper. I won't be able to nap every time baby is asleep b/c Harper will be raring to go. I know it will all work out but man its so scary.

Growing Love - 10 weeks - 2/27/12

Total weight gain/loss: 3 and I am telling you I look like I have gained 2x that around my middle. At least I think I do.
Maternity clothes? No, but once again, these pants I have on right now are tight to button. Looks like the belly band is coming out. Jeans are still fine.
Stretch marks? Nope.
Best moment this week: Seeing Baby J today. Great heartbeat and measuring perfect

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy :)
Looking forward to: I am looking forward to being in the 2nd
trimester actually telling people!
We are planning on starting to tell people this week. Not everyone, just more than we have. Shawn's parents, the rest of my family, close friends, etc.
I am sad that I do not have anymore schedule ultrasounds until my big one at 20 weeks. With a few u/s tech friends and Laura, I am sure I will get one.
I am torn on gender. I think it would be SO NEAT to not find out. Shawn says no way. I understand it would make things difficult but man, I would love to find out right after having him/her.
My energy seems to be coming back. Its always been fine through the day but I seem to get tired at night but the past few days I seem to be, almost, back to my normal self.
Growing Love - 9 weeks - 2/20/12!
How far along? 9 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: maybe 2 or 3 lbs but pretty sure it looks like more!
Maternity clothes? No, but I am not going to lie, but work pants are really tight. Slacks don't have a lot of stretch anyways and a growing bump is not making it better
Stretch marks? Nope.
Best moment this week: Getting to hear Baby J's heartbeat on the doppler

Looking forward to: Seeing my little love bug next Monday, he/she should finally look like a little baby.
Things are going good here. A few days ago I was able to hear Baby J's heartbeat on the home doppler. I was shocked! I was actually 8w5d. I couldn't get a reading on the bmp. Today I was able to and it was 170 bpm. Very high, girl!?!?
I am feeling very good. I feel pretty much normal until about 7:30pm and then I get really tired. It was hitting right after lunch and I was tired the rest of the day but now its just at night.
Still very little morning sickness. I feel so blessed with that.
I was crampy until about a week ago and now I am having very little cramping. I am glad for that to be gone. It wasn't bad, it just always is nerve racking!

So, up until 8 weeks, I had not gained any weight and I was weirdly happy that my body really had not changed at all. I was like, why do people say you show faster the 2nd time around? Well, Hello there HUGE little baby bump. I mean I seriously went from having some bloat(which I only get when I am pregnant) to my pants fitting tight and this pooch that has come from nowhere. At night, I seriously look 16 weeks pregnant, not 8. Me not likey. I am not one of those girls that can't wait to show, I like not showing and being pregnant. I am waiting to tell people until 12-13 weeks and I am seriously thinking, how can I wait that much longer with this gut?!?! Now with clothes on, no one would every suspect, but if I don't have on a flowy shirt it definitely looks like I have gained a few lbs in the tummy area. Not attractive! Guess that means he/she is growing!
Other than that, I feel so blessed with very little morning sickness. I had more m/s with Harper, still not a done but by far worse than this. I don't remember being very tired with H though, I wake up and feel great but late afternoon I feel like I need a nap, then I get a burst of energy and that last to early evening. I have seriously been in bed by 830pm almost every night for a few weeks. Asleep by 930pm most days!

Today was a great day! Shawn and I drove down to Little Rock so my best friend could give me an ultrasound. We took the day off(LR is where my aunt is) and made the drive. I was OH. SO. NERVOUS. I hear so many stories of girls going to this ultrasound and nothing is there. I was not having near as much morning sickness as I had with Harper and that worried me. The only symptoms I had that I was pregnant was tiredness and crampiness. Breast were a hair tender. We go into the room and I am shaking. The u/s tech puts the wand on my tummy and Laura is staring at the screen and Shawn is staring at the screen and I am just seeing double of everything and I immediately see the gestational sac but it looks EMPTY! Worst fear = Hello! Then she starts moving it around to get a different angle and there was our cute little baby! HB was 136 bpm. Perfect for 7 weeks! We got lots of pictures and a DVD of he/she
We drove across the street and feasted on Cheddar's. I hadn't eaten much all day and we were starving!
Then we drove home! What an exciting day. I will feel much better when I hit the big 1-2 weeks but seeing a good strong heartbeat is a great milestone
