December 2: I took a test and found out I was pregnant.
December 25: I told Dustin we were having #2 in my Christmas card to him. I had a little nausea in December but not for long. Only got sick once in the 2 weeks I was nauseous.
January 29: Heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time.
SECOND TRIMESTER
February 4: Had our first ultrasound to make sure the baby was healthy and the due date was correct.
February 5: We told Jelina we were having a 2nd baby. She found out from reading through our 2014 family album I made. The last page had our announcement on it. She was surprised!
February 8: We told my parents by playing scrabble and I spelled out "pregnant" "due" "August".
February 26: We had our initial appointment at Thrive Birth Center, a new birth center that opened June 2014. VERY nice inside and is a gorgeous facility with skilled midwives.
March: Started feeling a lot of "flutters" and movements from baby #2. Its weird how much earlier I feel it with this one.
March 3rd: Had my first prenatal yoga class this last Tuesday with like 10 other women.
March, Friday the 13th: This week we find out the gender! Dustin wants a boy. I want another girl. But neither of us will be disappointed if its the opposite. We will be excited
either way.
March 15: We officially tell the public we are expecting a 2nd!
I got noticeably bigger earlier with baby #2. They say that is normal because your body is more prepared this time having done it before. Kinda relieved about that actually.
The 2nd trimester you start having funky dreams. I have had nothing weird about the pregnancy/baby yet but I have had some weird dreams. But I honestly enjoy them. It is kind of fun for me to have dreams I can analyze and think about after. Something different from my day to day regular routine...
Pria at first didn't understand the idea of a baby growing in my tummy. But after a couple weeks she caught on and likes to point (or smack) my stomach and say "baby."
