Yes! It’s true we are having baby number 2! We are so
excited to be adding to our family. The official due date is September 7th
but we all know how not accurate that can be. I am hoping this one doesn’t go
10 days over like Olivia did. I meant to start blogging this journey sooner but
here we are at week 18 already! So here we go!

| Week 15 |

| Week 16 |
Week 18
How far along: 18 Weeks
Weeks to due date: 22 Weeks
Total weight gain: 5ish pounds =)
Maternity clothes: I don’t
necessarily need to be wearing them because some of my jeans fit and most of my
shirts still fit just fine but I have been wearing maternity clothes anyway =)
They are just so comfy!
Sleep: Depends on the
night. Some nights are great and other nights I toss and turn a lot.
Exercise: 5 days. 3 cardio and 2 strength. I didn’t do this category when I was pregnant
with Olivia but I have made it a part of my lifestyle and want to keep myself
accountable. A couple months after
having Olivia I started following the Bikini Body Mommy Challenge which has you
working out 6 days a week. 3 cardio and 3 strength. I have been working out on average 5 to 6 days a week since and I have felt so good and strong. Throughout
this pregnancy I have been able to keep up with the BBM program and will continue and modify as I get bigger =) At my first appointment with this baby I was 17 pounds less than my first appointment when I was pregnant with Olivia. I am so excited to have a healthier pregnancy and to continue setting fitness goals for myself.
Best moment this week:
Going to Beulah for Easter =) It was so great to spend time with Andy’s
family! Also, I went to dinner and a movie with a friend. It was so great to get some girl time in!
What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach.
Movement: Oh yes! It is so cool to feel that familiar
flutter again. It was about two weeks ago that I felt it for sure and then it
has been non stop since =)
Food cravings: Yep! Burgers! I want lots and lots of burgers! We
don’t eat them very often and live 40 minutes from the nearest fast food restaurant
(which is probably a very good thing!). About a month ago I went to SD to visit
my family and literally had 6 burgers in 4 days. No regrets!
Making me queasy: I
have been doing well in this department for a couple of weeks now but in my
first trimester I was in a state of general nausea and puked on 5 different occasions.
One was because of a dirty diaper. I had to have Andy come change it for me!
Starting to show: There
is definitely a bump but I’ve been told I am still in the questionable stage
=) What do you think? =)
Gender: We have an ultrasound
in two weeks but I am pretty sure we are going to wait to find out again. So
here’s to 22 more weeks of waiting!
Happy or moody: Happy!
Things I've been experiencing this week: Feeling more and
more movement. I have even seen my belly move already. That seems early to me
but I was sitting on the couch watching my belly because I could feel the baby moving
and I know I saw my stomach move many times!
Olivia and I were watching videos from when she was
super little. It was cute to see her laugh at herself and it was fun to see how
much she has grown. It makes me so excited to have another one!
What I'm looking forward to: Seeing our baby at our ultrasound in a couple
of weeks.
Size of baby: A sweet
potato
Thanks for stopping by =)
