Another

We are expecting another little one in November!

It seems like there are lots of people due in November. It still doesn't seem real. This pregnancy is so completely different than my first. With Everly, I don't know if I was just so excited because she was my first I ignored all the hard things your body goes through, or if it was really that easy of a pregnancy. This one is a little more rough. My hips started hurting almost instantly. My feet too. Heck, let's just lay it all out there... my back hurt too. I had constant nausea. Not to where I threw up, but it was an all day thing. It was always lingering and the only thing that seemed to help for a few moments was by eating. It would come right back though. I also have a lot of acid reflux issues. I think I am done complaining now. Let's get to the exciting stuff now.

This pregnancy I started showing earlier. With Everly I think it was around 21 weeks that I popped out. This one I was showing right off I felt like, although I only have proof that I was showing when I was 11 weeks. We had the ultrasound on June 31st (so 19 1/2 weeks along). The big one. The one where you find out the sex of the baby.

We are not finding out the sex of the baby! Surprise!

I started feeling this little baby move earlier than I did with Everly too. Monday morning, July 13th, was the first day I felt the baby kick from the outside. Ryan still hasn't felt the kicks yet, but he will soon I am sure.

My apatite is different this go around too. This pregnancy I am not super huge on sweets. At first I would even refuse them. But I think I am coming back around to them. I love peanut butter cups. Peanut butter toast. Peanut butter cookies. Peanut butter ice cream. I don't eat a lot of meat. I love Romain lettuce hearts and homemade ranch dressing. I have it almost every day. I love fruit. Grapefruit was my favorite in the beginning, but now I think melons are right now.

Everly seems confused by a baby in my belly. Sometimes I think she understands, but other times I really don't know what she is thinking. She did tell me once it was a girl baby. And when she sits or falls on my belly I tell her she hurt the baby and she will always kiss my belly better. She is so cute with her cousin babies, it makes me so excited to see her with our baby.
