Thus far, this pregnancy has been pretty great. I didn't experience the nausea and extreme exhaustion that I had during the first trimester when pregnant with Jay, which was a blessing. I certainly couldn't afford to be that tired all the time, what with working full time and having a one year old to take care of! I actually haven't had much of an appetite and barely any cravings. Yesterday was the first time I think I felt like I HAD to have something or I would just freak out. All I could think about on my drive into work was how much I wanted orange juice. Luckily, we have a vending machine that sells OJ and milk, so I was all set! The one thing that hasn't been great about this pregnancy is my mood swings. I have been constantly up and down, which has been exhausting for everyone. I hope that passes soon; it's not fun for me or for the poor people around me.
We're not finding out the gender again this time. The surprise was a lot of fun last time. We both are feeling that this one is a girl though. My mood swings are definitely making me think that! I did not have those when pregnant with Jay. We'll of course still think of both boy and girl names, just in case our feeling turns out to be wrong.
I had an ultrasound this past Wednesday. Everything looks great and the baby was being so cute (well, as cute as he/she can be at this point!). There was hand waving and feet grabbing and a lot of cute little movements. Here are some of the ultrasound pictures.
We're so excited to be expanding our family and look forward to meeting our new little one in June. Something tells me that the next five months are going to go by really quickly for us!
