I had another rough day of nausea, exhaustion and general chilliness. I feel like this pregnancy has made me get really cold, really easily. It was cold outside but sunny and so I kept the curtains open to let the sunshine in and tried to drink hot liquids.
Despite the way I felt physically I really enjoyed hanging out with the little buddy. He’s starting to get more vocal and has been trying to say ‘thank you’ and ‘I love you’ all the time. I have been trying to teach him to say ‘okay mommy’ when I discipline him but so far I just get a bunch of adorable gibberish.
For the past two days he’s been sleeping fantastically both night and day I’m excited to think that maybe we’re finally getting to the toddler sleeping stage. His 45 min nap per day is just ridiculous and his restless evening sleeping (between 7-11) is frustrating. All of a sudden he’s sleeping fantastically all night (not even a single sleepy cry) and his naps have been from 1.5-2.5 hours. I’m over the moon!
He loves bath time and today after his bath tonight he looked so cute I couldn’t resist a photo.
Excuse my pregnancy midriff……Sometimes you can’t hide it.
I was shaking holding him so the pics came off blurry haha. He’s getting big!
So now I’m resting again due to the upset stomach I got from eating. My meals have been random and erratic because I needed to eat to take my antibiotics but today is the last day of pills so now I can let go of the food stress.
Shane urges me to eat so I have that reminder and I get hungry sometimes but last pregnancy I stressed constantly and had a huge baby despite my lack of weight gain so I don’t want to stress this time…..even though my heart rate goes up a few ticks every time I weigh myself:) I’ve lost more weight during this pregnancy so far but I’m going to tack it up to nursing or something.
But more on that tomorrow with my pregnancy update!
Question: While pregnant did/do you lose weight? I didn’t gain a pound until 20 weeks last time and overall I gained 17. Avery was 8lsb 7oz so I’m not worried about a malnourished baby.
I think Katy only gained a couple pounds, and that was in the last month. I’ve heard so many stories of ladies gaining tons of weight, then taking forever to lose it, that I was concerned. Her obstetrician wasn’t concerned, and everything turned out fine.
never been preggers yet but my friends are all on their #2′s too – I know several of them did lose weight initially and then mostly put it all on the last few weeks. They dropped that majority very soon after the baby too, then have come to sort of where they were prebaby and a few have maintained a loss from where they were prebaby.
I think every body is different and metabolically speaking, it is adjusting to the demands per usual preggers or not. The second time around I think your body prepares a little easier because it is like “Ohh okay we did this before… ” and sort of starts working on what it needs to do, rearrange fuel transitions etc.
I think the more important measures that I’m sure you know are the baby gaining size, belly growth, etc. Your body might just be burning a little extra because it is saying ” oh pregnancy – we have to put our energy towards this little baby now… ” and probably because of the sickness/nausea/aversions ?
I’m no OBGYN though
yeah, I don’t think the baby ever loses out on nutrients but I sure do! haha. I have trouble taking all the prenatals due to nausea though but hopefully that changes.
I WAS really sick with Avery but I’m not sure if it was this bad….it’s hard to remember!
