Pregnancy Journal

Here are the belly pictures at 20 weeks. I haven't written in this journal in forever, but basically, I found out that we're having another boy, and I was still super healthy! Starting to show a little bit!

Today I am 20 weeks and 2 days Pregnant,so I call that about half-way-pregnant! Im so excited! We find out what we're having on Thursday, and I also find out how much weight I gained this month:(. I feel like I pigged out all month long. I just can't stop eating! I try not to, bu I just can't help it! Now I know how people get really obese. I need help! That's been myonly main concern this past month. I have also been really really emotional. I have kind of been a nut case. My crying spells have turned into almost every day, several times a day. Yeah, I think I'll be asking my doctor for happy pills on Thursday! Other than getting really fat and being a little crazy though, I think I've been pretty healthy, as far as the baby is concerned. My skin is finally starting to clear up! I feel the baby move all day long, every day! I love to feel the little kicks, and imagine how cute the little baby is kicking me inside the womb. I can just imagine it's cute little feet and hands squirming around in there. It's actually moving right now! :). I am so excited to have another baby! I just hope it's healthy and happy! The picture at the top is my monthly picture of my belly. It's definitely getting rounder now and poking out more and more almost every day. I had another dream a few days ago that we're having a boy, but we will know for sure on Thursday. So until then....

Today I am exactly 17 weeks! I went to the doctor on Wednesday for my monthly check up and everything is still going good! I heard the baby's heartbeat again, and I am still feeling movement. I feel like I'm really getting a belly now, but I can still wear my pants, buttoned and everything, it's just a little uncomfortable when I sit down. I gained a few pounds this month :( but my Thyroid medicine was also low this last month and a half so I'm blaming the weight gain on that! :) Whatever makes you feel better about yourself right??? I scheduled the appointment for the ultrasound to find out what we're having! It's May 29th and 10:20am! I'm super excited. I still feel really strong that it's a boy, but I'm kind of thinking it could be a girl too. I go through my phases. Most of the time I'm 98% sure it's a boy, but every once in a while I feel like it's a girl....I'm probably just keeping hope and having fun entertaining the thought of having a girl, right? :) Oh well, I really just want a healthy baby, and not to gain too much weight with this kid. Everything is still good, so nothing too exciting to report!

Today I am 15 and a 1/2 weeks along!!! On Sunday I'll be 16 weeks! Still doing good, although I am starting to feel like I'm showing....or at least my fat over the baby is showing more! :) I decided I'm going to take a monthly picture of myself now, so I see the progress..... by the way, please don't comment right now that I look really pregnant, or that my "belly" is so cute.... I'm still not ready to face the fact that I'm getting bigger, so don't even mention it! Thanks!
Trisha at almost 16 weeks (4/23/08)

Today I am 14 weeks and 3 days pregnant! I am officially in my second trimester, and I am 3 1/2 months along. I feel like my stomach is getting fat, and my clothes are getting to be uncomfortable. They're not tighter or anything, but it just hurts now if I sit down and they dig into the baby. I wear Brian's comfy PJ pants almost all of the time when I'm at home. I think I'll probably start showing sooner this time, because that's what everyone says happens. I read somewhere that the you show sooner with the 2nd kid because your body already knows what to do and where it wants to put the baby, so it pops sooner. Oh well..... I have exercising a lot more lately so hopefully that will help! I am still feeling really well, other than the normal fatigue. I feel the baby move more and more lately. And I recently had another dream about the baby being a boy. It has been my fifth or sixth dream about the baby being a boy since I have been pregnant this time. I'm pretty sure that we're having another boy. I am completely convinced, but there's always that chance that I'm wrong. I knew Logan was a boy before we found out too. I just had a feeling, and even though I want a girl, I really think it's a boy. Which is fine, I just want a healthy, happy baby! Right now the new name that I'm stuck on is Caylex. It's a Padres player's name, but I heard it and I really like it. It's different, but cute too. I really like the name Jackson, but not Jack, and Brian swears that people will call him Jack if we name him that. So that's out of the question. The baby is about 4 inches long now, and he's already sucking his thumb and making facial expressions. Now it's really just a matter of getting bigger and developing muscles, and finishing the whole development process. It's weird to think that all of his major organs are already developed. The whole baby growing process is really a miracle. It's also a miracle that I can actually do this, and survive!!! :) Anyway, things are going good. I have a doctor's appointment on the 30th so I'll write after that!

My first entry.......
So I'm almost 13 weeks along! That means I'm pretty much done with my first trimester! I have been feeling sooo good, it's almost scary! I only puked a few times, and I was nauseous for a good 2 months, but I feel like I'm over that! I have been healthy and doing really well. I have to eat every 2-3 hours in the mornings/afternoons but I try to eat good foods. I haven't gained any weight!!! (Thank Heavens!) And I'm starting to feel the baby flutter around every once in a while. I'm tired, but I make sure I get a good night's rest, and try to have a nap here and there! Logan keeps me busy, which is a good thing, and I'm just trying to stay healthy and happy right now! I go through my emotional crying breakdowns about once a week, but for me, that is completely normal. I'm just very emotional when I'm pregnant. (Although most of you have figured that out by now!) We heard the heartbeat yesterday, and that was very reassuring! I'm excited to have another baby! So for now, I'm just doing great, considering all of the things that could be bad!
