Whoo hoo! So we just got back from our cruise and I had movement while there. It was Thursday (2.16.2012) and I was on the ship laying out. I decided that I was going to roll over on my tummy (yes, I can still do that) and get some sun on my back. When I did that I felt movement. It was low, but it was there! So I figured it was the babe telling me to move and give up some room, so I flipped back over. It was the first time!
The BIG ultrasound is tomorrow. So if you haven't guessed yet, go to the bottom and vote! I will post tomorrow to let you all know!

Doctor's Appointment - 16 weeks - February 9, 2012
Went to the doc yesterday and I took the Haive with me. Interesting, to say the least. Thank God for the iPad. Watching Bubble Guppies kept him entertained. Good thing too, cause we waited for Dr. Godsey for 30 minutes.
But all is well with the babe. Heartrate is 160, blood pressure was 110/58 and the weight gain is minimal (hooray!) They did want to take some blood to check my levels. Something about making sure I wasn't getting anemic. To be quite honest, Dr. Godsey is a little on the strange side and I found it difficult to follow what he was saying. Very easy appointment and everything looks good.
One thing the nurse did say when she was feeling around for where the babe is so that she could get the heartbeat was that she felt growth. Makes sense cause my belly definitely popped out last week. Check out the pictures from 14 weeks to 15 weeks. It got round over night!
13 days till we find out if its a boy or a girl!

2nd Trimester
It's finally here! I got my energy level back, the nausea has gone away and I'm feeling good. I think I was even nesting a little last weekend. I have started to get headaches though. They seem to show up in the late afternoon and linger till about dinner time. Nothing painful, just noticeable. Something I didn't have with Haven. Other differences so far have really been that it's eaiser this time. Now, don't get me wrong, I had such an easy pregnancy with Haven...I wasn't sick, didn't have any complications or anything. But I just remember things being more extreme the first time around. The nausea was more intense and seemed to last a little longer, the food aversions were worse, the sleepiness seemed to last longer and the "pregnant brain" was OUT OF CONTROL! I don't know if that was because it was the first time for me to go thru all of it and I was just much more in-tune with it or if I just don't have time to think about it as much this time. I know they say all pregnancies are different, so that could be it too. They weren't lying when they said that. Just hoping that this baby is healthy and as easy as Haven was and still is! Fingers crossed.
Headed off for our cruise a week from Wednesday! So excited! Ready for some sunshine and warm weather! I bought some bathing suits last week to take with me. All I can say about that is "YUCK". Boobs and belly, really? Not diggin' it. Whoever said that pregnant women were so beautiful must have been looking at the 5 foot 10 woman that is only pregnant in the belly, still has thin legs, arms and face. Cause this 5 foot 5 mama ain't so cute! :)
16 days till we find out if Baby Pop 2 is a boy or girl! Make your guess at the bottom of the blog!

12 week appointment - January 11, 2012
I went to my 12 week appointment today. I got to hear the heart beat. It was 168. The nurse was able to find it pretty quickly and was surprised that she found it so fast. My blood pressure is 100/64 and everything looks good. I saw Dr.Castellion this time. Still not crazy about her. I felt like she was rushing me thru my questions. Just one more thing to add to my list with that one.
Kelly and I are going on a cruise next month so I had to get a letter from her stating how many weeks I would be when we left and that baby and I are both in good travelling condition. She wrote that for me and also told me that it was okay to take Benedryl or Dramamine. Good to know that I can take something. Fingers crossed that I'm not bothered with getting seasick. I haven't in the past, but you never know with pregnancy.
We also set a date for the next ultrasound. This one will be the one at 18 weeks when they can tell you the sex of the baby. It will be February 22 at 8:30am. So if you haven't voted at the bottom, you have until February 22 to do it. I still have no feelings as to what I think it is. Maybe I will have a dream in the next few weeks.
Next regular appointment is Feb 8, at 4pm. I will be seeing Dr. Godsey.
Already wearing a few maternity pants. Really wanted to be comfortable. They are still on the big side, but I will fill em up soon enough!

Storytime - Dec. 9, 2011
So, I'm bringing back storytime. For those of you that read Haven's blog, I would post funny things/stories that happened while I was pregnant. Well this time is no different.
We decided to go out to eat with Kristen, Nick and Kailey Baughn for annual Christmas dinner. We went to Dish it Out in Stonecrest and then to Qdoba to eat. Well, I didn't know that we would be eating there for dinner that night, so I ended up having it for lunch. Normally I love Qdoba and that day at lunch was no different. Well, I could not even stand the thought of eating that for dinner. I didn't really realize it until we there in the line to order. I decide to not have anything and just get something on the way home. I did end up having some of Haven's chips and guacamole though as I waited for the other's to finish. We say our goodbyes and I ask Kelly to run over to Wendy's and get me cheeseburger. We get up to the drive thru, order the cheeseburger, get the food and drive off. I open up the burger and I kid you not, I took one bite and was like "I don't think I can eat this." I took one more bite and it was official...there was no way I was eating that burger. I tired again the next night and took one bite and couldn't have anymore more! Never ever did this happen with Haven. I knew exactly what I wanted to eat and had no problems eating it. So I have come to the conclusion that this baby is a diva. Either that or I'm just being a brat. One of the two. I think Kelly is hoping for the diva!

Ultrasound - 8 weeks - Dec. 14, 2011
I had an ultrasound today for Baby Pop! Everything looks good. Heart rate was 164. I was really cool to be able to see the little babe. You could see the heart beating and everything. It make me feel good that I was bale to see it. Kelly was there too and was in awe at the sight too.
I'm feeling good. Still waiting on the sleepiness to go on out the door. Food aversions this time include turkey and anything that might be associated with a traditional Thanksgiving meal. Yuck, yuck, yuck!
Oh yeah, and I have already busted out my bella band. The pants are getting tighter! Here is the ultrasound picture. Kinda small and hard to see. I will try and post a bigger picture later.

Annoucement
So, I made the announcement to the family and friends. We sent out a cute Christmas card this year. Everyone was pretty excited about it. Now I just need to let the work family know. Can't decide when to tell the boss. I have an ultrasound appointment tomorrow, so I might wait till after that.
In other news, the nausea comes and goes and I was really tired this weekend. For the most part I have felt pretty good. But I do get sleepy during the day. Maybe the fact that I have been sitting at my desk and doing nothing is contributing! Yawning as I write this post!
So far the only thing that turns my stomach is the thought of turkey. Like a whole bird that you would see at Thanksgiving. Eeew. Nothing else is really bothering me. However I did have a total "diva" moment on Friday. The story goes a little something like this:
Friday for lunch I wanted nothing but a naked chicken burrito from Qdoba. So, of course, I got it. We had plans that night to go with Kristen and Nick to Dish it Out, for the kids and then I had suggested Qdoba, but we never really set that in stone. So, that's where we ended up. But when I got there, standing in line, I decided that I didn't think I was going to be able to put a single bite in my mouth. I proceeded to eat some of Haven's chips and guacamole. When we left I asked Kelly to take me to Wendy's to just get a cheeseburger. I order it and take two bites and don't think I can take another. Took it home and put it in the fridge. Couldn't take but three bites of it the next night either! Then, all I could think about on Saturday was a fabulous glazed doughnut from Krispy Kreme. I get it and it's so not as good as I had thought it would be. This baby is either going to be a total diva or I'm being a brat. One of the two. I was never like this with Haven!
