This pregnancy started out with a bad sinus cold, pounding headaches, and crazy pain in my mouth that I thought was my wisdom teeth, but ended up being "pregnancy gingivitis". The rest of the first trimester was similar to the other two: fatigue and queasiness. More food aversions than with Declan, but no severe nausea, thankfully. But with Kevin working in Wyoming for 10 days at a time, I spent as much time resting at home as I could.
Isla is so excited for the baby! She would like a sister, so we have to keep reminding her that God picks the perfect baby for us, and He might give us another boy.
Declan is a super cuddler, and has to sit in my lap whenever possible. I'm nervous about what will happen when he gets evicted by a growing bump!
Kevin and I feel so blessed with another precious life to care for, and a healthy pregnancy so far! We are eager to meet the final addition to our family (unless we decide to adopt sometime down the road). Also, we're close to buying a new home in Eaton Rapids with plenty of room for 3!
Total weight gain: 5 lbs
Cravings: None really, except one week when all I wanted was Chinese.
Miss anything? With two small children, I'm definitely missing some energy!
Gender prediction: Leaning toward girl, but no strong inclinations.
Movement: Since 11.5 weeks!
Highs/Lows: Short OB visits since this isn't my first rodeo, finding our dream property, a short but fun trip to sunny Las Vegas/spending so much time without Kevin, but he's done with WY trips now!
Looking forward to: Moving next week and closing on both houses, ultrasound in less than 3 weeks!
