Almost half way

17 weeks with William

20 weeks with William

18/19 weeks with baby #2

It is kind of fun to have different pregnancies to compare. I am getting more exercise this time around, plus I am always chasing William. I feel like I am smaller, and when I pulled up the pictures from when I was pregnant with William, it shows. Although not a lot, I can still fit into all of my regular clothes, and most of the maternity clothes are still way to big for me.

When I was at the doctors a couple of weeks ago, they were on the verge of being worried about how little weight I had gained, and just told me to make sure I am getting enough calories. I know I am, plus, when is not gaining a ton of weight a bad thing? Less to work off in the end!

 

This pregnancy is going just as smoothly as the last, only about a week of morning sickness, and the fatigue is gone. No round ligament pain yet, but a little cramping. I do have more back pain, but who knows if that is really pregnancy related. Everyone tells me the all of the aches and pains are worse with every pregnancy, so we shall see.

To explain the confusion with the weeks, the hospital can't decide between two dates. One is based off of my cycle (July 4th) and the other is based off of the measurements from the ultrasound (June 28th) Since William was early, and I am unpredictable, we are going with the earlier date. Although, we are kind of secretly hoping that it will be a July 4th baby, just to keep with tradition. At this point, why not?
