In 158 days or so we will have a new arrival to our household. Peanut "Smudge" will be joining our family of 3 and becoming a family of 4. We are all very excited and can't wait to meet our new bundle of joy.
We have about 3 weeks to go until we find out if Peanut is a boy or a girl - Samantha would like a girl so we would out number the boys 3 to 2 (Samantha counts the dog as a boy...lol) but she said she would be happy with a boy too....he could be her boyfriend she says. Now no matter how many times I tell her that if it is a boy her brother can't be her boyfriend she just refuses to listen and says "No Mommy he is going to be my boyfriend" :).
Now let me tell you how different it is being pregnant this time compared to when I was pregnant with Samantha....it is a true 365 degrees different.
In 2006/2007 - Pregnant with Samantha.....
- I could eat anything and everything. Food tasted to good.
- If nautious all I had to do was eat something and the feeling would go away
- I was able to sleep for more than 2-3 hours a night.
- Soreness, Aches and pains all over
- Didn't get a baby bump until 5/6 months pregnant
- Loved...Loved...Loved...Stuffed Shells (I couldn't get enough of them).
- Samantha didn't move around much in utero - she found a comfy postion and just hung out
In 2012 - Pregnant with Peanut Smudge.....
- Food is a complete turn off (sob..sob..sob)
- Nautious all the time (not so much now but for the 1st 3 months it was bad) - eating made it worse
- Can only sleep for about 2-3 hours at night and than I am up for 3 hours or so
- Not really having any aches, pains, or soreness (knock on wood).
- Have had a baby bump since 12/13 weeks. Had to break out the maternity clothes already
- Can't stand eating Stuffed Shells or Tomato sauce
- Was craving Popcorn and have a bag every other day or so. (I haven't eaten Popcorn in years)
- Exhausted 24/7 - all I want to do is nap but the husband and 5 year old have other things in mind
- At 12 week ultrasound the baby wouldn't stop moving - it just shows he/she is going to be a hellion
- At 16 weeks I started to gag when I brush my teeth
Wish Me Luck With The Rest Of The Pregnancy :)
Here I am at 17 weeks.
Next up.....
- Figuring out a new layout for Samantha's room for the addition of her new roomate
- Trying to remember where we put all the baby stuff from when Samantha was little
- Figuring out how we are going to do this financially (Just breathe...Just breathe)
- Arguing over the name of the baby once we figure out if it's a boy or a girl
- Trying to find time to clean, organize and declutter the house (ha ha ha)
- And lots lots lots lots more I'm sure.
Stay Tuned For Next Weeks Edition of the Prego Files...
