16 Weeks

I am now 16 weeks and one day! So Sunday we went to the Ultrasound place and after 20 min of suspense they said it was a girl!...they could not be 90% sure so we have to go back. They said there was too much umbilical cord in the way so in order to be more sure we have to go back. I am excited. I am excited to see how Meelah will be with her and to see if she will also look like Meelah and Solomon or if she will look like me =) But we will see only God knows. Meelah will have a sister and they will be close so I am happy for her. I was shocked to see that there was a baby the size it was suppose to be in there and growing considering my belly isn't looking too pregnant and the moment. I have a Ethiopian belly as of right now, bloated looking but don't really look pregnant =/ It is popped though it's just a way different shape this time around. I do not eat as much as I use to. I get full faster but then I am hungrier quicker (like every 2 hours). My clothes and everything still fit I have not yet had to go shopping. I get super tired and pray that Meelah falls asleep at 8:30 every night because I just feel like for the life of me I cannot keep my eyes open o_0. So we will wait to be double sure on the sex but whatever God blesses us with I know the love we will have for this child will be indescribable...I know from experience ;) XOXO

1 More Day =)

So I have been having the worst nights of sleep ever. I wake up every morning at the crack of dawn and my back is killing me! I think it might be because my hips might have expanded a tiny bit and when I lay on my side my back is unaligned. I try putting a pillow in between my legs but that just don't work. I can't use the tummy boppy yet because I don't really have a tummy that needs support =/ I was looking at pictures when I was 15 weeks with Meelah and I was like full on showing already. It's crazy because I heard usually with your second you show faster because your body is use to the change but nope not this time. I am smaller for some reason which makes me think I really hope they are able to tell the sex. We were suppost to go today to find out the sex of our little orange but Solomon has school so we had a later appointment but the place said they are closing earlier then what our appointment was set for so due to our crazy schedule we have to go tomorrow on Sunday! It's all good a couple hours won't kill me...I hope. But I am way excited. I think Solomon is excited but is real nervous and doesn't really know what to think because he's not as eager as I am to find out what this baby is...lol . So we will see and I will keep you all posted =) XOXO

15 Weeks!!

So this week has been great so far =)...Why? Because I have not felt sick! I'm just tired but tiredness I can do. Who doesn't like to sleep? Anyways I'm still wearing my regular clothes there is no rapid tummy growth going on so far I have a small belly but I think I look more bloated then pregnant "/ (Although at the nail salon the lady doing my pedi said she was wondering if I was pregnant?) I took a test on Parents.com and using Old Wives Tales it predicted a boy! So this week I scheduled a appointment for a Gender Determination! We go Saturday! I am soooooo excited just because it will be the first time I see my little baby and also the suspense of knowing what is inside me is killing me. I want to know so I can start preparing and SHOPPING and most important have a name for my little bundle! I know this sounds cliche` but it honestly doesn't matter what it is because like I've said a girl would be great for Meelah to have a sister close to and a boy would be great to experience just having a son =) I just pray for a healthy baby! This pregnancy and also with Meelah I never really felt pregnant til the middle of my second trimester when I started to feel a elbow roll across my tummy but I had a feeling of how really special this baby is inside of me and how lucky I am that my pregnancy has came this far. I know God has a awesome purpose for this child and he designed this baby to our family. I feel a whole new better thing toward being pregnant. Yeah I was sick but the love I have for my Meelah I know I will feel it all over again for this baby. I feel honored that God has blessed my womb. So with that said I will keep you all updated on the Sex of our little one! On the bottom of the page I added a Poll to see what you think we are having so take it. It will close Saturday at 5:45 pm so vote =) and Stay tuned! XOXO

14 Weeks!!

So last week when I turned 14 weeks it was Valentines Day <3 So I missed out on keeping up that week also I had got sick on Sunday and Monday so I fell behind on my schedule, my Wifely and Mama routine. But don't worry I still was able to sneak in a quick belly shot in the midst of a crazy week. Last Monday I felt for the first time a flutter/ripple movement in my stomach. I drink lots of water so it probably was the baby moving but it's so small I doubt it was a kick I felt. But that was exciting! Last week my little baby was also the size of a lemon....(check out this weeks blog now =)

13 Weeks!!!!

So yesterday I had my second Doctor's appointment. She didn't do too much but I got to hear my little one's heartbeat for the first time. It was exciting I thought to myself, 'ok there is a baby in there?' Even though I don't feel pregnant just yet. There is a little creature in there with a heart beat of 170 which the Doctor said was fast but not a bad thing. She said my weight is ok that I haven't lost too much weight and that I should just nibble on stuff every hour until I get my full appetite back. She also told me by my next visit I could have a ultrasound and we can see the sex. But since I am 13 weeks already last time with Meelah when I was 16 weeks we went to one of those ultrasound 4d places and found out early so I am debating if I wanna do that again. Just because I am too anxious. This is suppose to be my last week in my first trimester so let's see how everything goes. Today has been a rough day. For some reason today I cannot keep anything down =( So I am pretty weak and hungry. But I can only pray that tomorrow will be better. Also my pregnancy line is started to lightly appear again even though it just bearly went away from Meelah "/ So I will leave you at that and with some tummy shots ( I took these this morning before I got sick...lol !!! XOXO

How I'm feeling....=)

I willl start posting pictures on Tuesday but although there isn't much going on right now. I will be 13 weeks on Tuesday so I will start fresh although I believe though with Meelah I got a lower pop belly at 13 weeks and this is the flattest my stomach has been since I got married. When I started off pregnant with Meelah I was 117 lbs, I lost 11 lbs in one week and was sick until I was almost 4.5 months...this time around my pre-pregnancy weight was 111 lbs. I got sick again at around 9 weeks (Pre- 9 weeks I was a firework. I found out I was pregnant at 5 weeks and I was still feeling good and doing 5 mile walks/jogs, bike rides and other activities). But as soon as that 9 weeks comes along I'm going through hell =p~ This time is lasted about 2.5 weeks thank God!! It wasn't as bad either. With Meelah I was throwing up multiple times a day and couldn't hold anything down not even water. This time juice and bland foods were ok at times and I would throw up once every 2 days and it was mostly acid because I didn't have too much in my tummy anyways. I weighed 103 lbs at the end of being sick this time. But I am slowly getting my appetite back. I am especially craving chocolate. Just yesterday I felt like I would do anything for a s`more (mmmmm). I feel like I'm a little more emotional then usual like a commercial will make me cry ( I do not cry all the time or to Solomon) I just feel a little more tender at times =) I am tired a little more now and take 2 hour naps a day now otherwise I just feel pooped at like 4pm. Thank God Meelah cooperates and takes naps too!!  God really has blessed me with a awesome little on e I know she is going to do great with her little sibling. She is patient and already has those Little Mama insticts.  I have a doctor's appointment Monday so we will see how everything goes!! Keep ya guys posted...XOXO

Welcome Back!!!

As you all know with my last pregnancy I blogged weekly for close friends and family to follow along  our pregnancy journey and I feel it brought us closer and the suspense was growing waiting for our Little Meelah to arrive. Now she is 15 months and is about to be a Big Sister!! This is the second time around for us so I thought why not blog again to keep our family and friends in the loop on what's going on through this amazing time of our lives. It may be hard for me to keep this page up because I have to keep up with Meelah and I don't get too much me time but I will try. I like having a blog page because it is specifically about my pregnancy, what I feel and what's going on and you can read it if you want or not if you don't. You are not reading all this pregnancy woman stuff on facebook = p But I will do my best and I hope you guys all enjoy following our journey the second time around...XOXO
