2nd Child Syndrome (Already!!)

Today I am 20 wks pregnant! Halfway there! Sadly, I just noticed that I have barely blogged or written down anything about this pregnancy. I haven't even taken any belly pictures. It has just flown by in the flurry of my everyday life. Now I totally get "Second Child Syndrome". Poor kiddo.

I haven't even blogged yet that we are having another girl! We are all very excited! Gaby knew she was having a little sister. I'm pumped because I don't have to give away any of Gaby's old clothes! It's all so cute and barely worn.

So what I can say about the first trimester is that although I did not have any morning sickness (Thank God!!) I still had to suffer through Cedar Fever with no allergy medication and it was pretty awful! Apparently, I have to suffer one way or another for my babies.

Second trimester has been great! Feeling good, less tired, healthy glow etc. Love it! One thing that has been a little odd this time and of which I'm secretly proud of is that up to this point, I haven't gained any weight! Isn't that crazy? I feel like I'm eating normal amounts although sometimes I do get full fast. I'm not necessarily trying to eat super healthy or anything but I've noticed that this little one gives me salad cravings all the time! I'm crazy for Olive Garden soup & salad- yum!!!

The bump is there and growing. And in the last couple of weeks I have defintely felt little kicks and karate chops. Our little sweetie is strong and active! As far as names go....no luck there. We cannot agree on ANYTHING! Last time it seemed so easy because I had already envisioned my little girl named Gabriella. This time, the couple of names I thought I really liked have lost their luster. So we'll keep thinking (and arguing) over names until we come up with something good.

Gaby is all over being a big sister! She can't wait to help me with the baby. She says she wants to change diapers and help feed her and hold her etc. We will see how long that lasts once the baby gets here. She has become so loving and sweet towards the bump and always remembers to kiss it goodnight. I can't wait until the kicks are strong enough for her to feel them! Speaking of, Byron got to feel one the other day. It was just as exciting as last time :)

So I guess that's a pretty good pregnancy update. I feel better now. Baby Girl #2 will get her blog-time. Can't wait until the big ultrasound in a couple of weeks!
