Shortly before Conall's first birthday party I noticed some symptoms that I had when I was pregnant with him, and took a test... SURPRISE! #2 is coming beginning of April! While we definitely wanted another baby, the timing was less than ideal. I had JUST signed up for a half marathon (which I can defer to 2016) and I was just finally feeling the fittest I'd been, in a long time (if not ever). But the weeks before the surprise came I'd been reading through the books of Psalms/Proverbs and kept coming back to the theme of whole-heartedly trusting God. At the time I thought it was in reference to just a general sense of what to do and his purpose. Little did I know he meant in this! So while we maybe didn't plan for this to happen at this time, I 100% believe that this was God's plan. And we're excited!
Currently I am 16 weeks pregnant, just into my second trimester. And wow is this pregnancy nothing like with Conall. With him I felt a little nauseous for a couple of weeks, had a horrible four day bout of sickness with the flu and then felt great the rest of the pregnancy. This little munchkin is making me feel nauseous most of the time, up until recently where it's randomly now. I fortunately haven't actually thrown up (although there have been gagging moments) but I just wont eat or drink. I think it was all the throwing up I did with Conall and the flu that has me determined to keep it down. I'm also prone to dizziness and headaches. But it could be a lot worse and I'm thankful that everything appears to be healthy now. I've already started feeling the baby move, a little flutters early on around week 12ish and then more consistent flutters around week 15. No big kicks yet, but baby is small. We're also not finding out the gender this time, but my gut feeling says 90% sure it's a girl. We'll be happy either way. My first baby is 14.3 months old!
Conall is walking everywhere and is constantly learning. He loves learning new words (asking what it is and then repeating the word) and he LOVES being outside.
Weight: Heavy :)
Length: tall
Hair: Blonde with hints of strawberry blondeEyes: Hazel, bluish gray brown
Favorite toy: He's really enjoying his mega blocks. And he makes any object into a phone and pretends to talk on it. He also loves rubber duckies and brings them to us saying, "Ucky! Ack Ack!" or... Ducky! Quack, quack!
Food: He loves bread and fruit. But he also like to eat jambalaya (a true Louisianan), potatoes, chicken, pizza, and more
Clothes: Mostly size 18, but some 12s. The size 12 pants are short though
Diapers: Still a size 4. I have a feeling if I buy a big box of size 4s he'll immediately grow out of them.
Sleep: Sleeping through the night!! Regardless of how much sleep he did or did not get, or when we put him to bed, he consistently wakes up at 7ishTeeth: 4 on bottom, 2 on top
New skills: very good at walking everywhere, talking more and more, and trying to be more and more independent (feeding himself, or throwing a fit if he doesn't get to feed himself)
