Baby No. 2 {11 weeks}

how far along? 11 weeks

how are you measuring? Right on track.  I was measuring one day ahead in my sono. 

size of baby? size of a fig

heartbeat? 188 bpm (at our 9 week sono)

total weight gain/loss? -1.4 lb

maternity clothes? Nope, my clothes are still fitting just fine! I'm holding out on maternity clothes as long as possible!!

stretch marks? Just the faded ones on my side from Pearson.  I'm already lotioning up each night! Hoping to not gain anymore!!

sleep?  I'm sleeping sooooooo much better at night this week.  I'm only getting up once at night to go to the bathroom.  Plus I'm still getting in some great naps during the day while Pearson is resting.  It's so weird though to get so much sleep and still feel tired all the time.  Growing a baby is hard work!!

best moment this week?  I know this is pretty lame, but getting my haircut was the best moment of my week!! It had been almost 4 months so I was desperate for a haircut!!

movement? Not yet, but I'm so excited that I will probably feel in in the next month or so since I know what the feeling feels like!! 

food cravings? Still craving anything sweet and cold.  And this week one of the sweets I craved was Clementines.  I just can't get enough of them.  I've had one just about everyday this week.  

gender predictions? I honestly have no idea.  Seven more weeks until we find out though!!

what i miss? Being productive.  I am so tired lately that nothing is getting done at our house.  My cooking has stunk lately, our house is dirty, laundry is piling up and my to-do is never ending.  Sooooooo ready to be in my 2nd trimester so I can have some energy back. 
what i'm looking forward to? Working out this week! I haven't worked out in two weeks because we have just been non-stop busy and I have been tired.  I'm still tired, but we aren't busy this week so I'm going to make it a priority to work out this week!
how are you feeling? My main pregnancy symptom is just being tired so I can't really complain.  However, I've had a little nausea this week, some unpleasant BM's (sorry TMI, but that's pregnancy for ya), and extremely tender breasts. I'm still praising the Lord that I haven't been sick!  Ain't nobody got time for that!!

comparisons to last pregnancy? My mind is not consumed with thoughts of pregnancy and baby things all the time.  By this time with Pearson I'm pretty sure I was already thinking of names, nursery themes, and stuff I wanted to register for.  With this one I've just decided to wait until we find out what we are having to even think about that stuff. 

Here I am 11 weeks with Pearson and 11 weeks with Baby No. 2.

fun in the sun

The past two summers Ashley has gotten Season Passes to Hawaiian Falls.  And both summers she has been sweet enough to let me use her Buddy Pass that comes with the Season tickets!!

Pearson still gets in for FREE since he is 2, so it's a free day for us!!

Last summer he loved climbing all over the kiddie park but this summer all he wanted to do was sit by my side.  He was so scared of all the things that splashed water.  I can't believed he loved it when he was one but hated it when he was two.  Even though he didn't go an play in the kiddie area, he still had fun splashing in the water and playing with Olivia's toys.  His favorite part of the entire water park was the Lazy River.  I put his puddle jumper on him and he would let me touch him.  He just liked to float and ride the river all by himself.  He was all smiles in the lazy river!!

Ashley had rented out a Cabana for Carson's birthday, but it ended up getting rained out so she transfered the Cabana rental to today.  It was really nice to have some shade to escape to from the 100 degree weather. 

The other perk of having a Cabana was that we had a waiter that brought us free drinks and took our orders for food.  We didn't have to wait in any lines!!  After lunch Pearson and I shared a delicious sno-cone.

When ours was all gone he head over to see if he could bum some off of his cousin!!

Pearson and Olivia had had the hardest time sharing toys & snacks all day long, but for some reason they decided to share their sno-cone.  

Oliva would take a bite, then Pearson would say "Pearson Bite", then Olivia would actually give him a bite.  We couldn't believe it!!

Sno-Cones made this cousins pretty happy!!

We got to the park right at 10:30 when it opened and stayed until 3:00.  We were both pooped after a fun day in the sun.  

Thanks Ashley for treating us to a day at Hawaiian Falls!!

the $1 movie

Pearson had his first movie theater experience today.  We went to see Rio.  At Cinemark they are  doing $1 kid movies at 10am on Wednesdays all summer long.

 I know Pearson is a little on the young side to go to a movie, but I thought for $2 we wouldn't have wasted much if we had to walk out early.  

When we first got there I took his picture in his seat.  This was literally the only time he actually sat in his seat for the movie.  He didn't weigh enough to keep the seat from folding in on him.  

He watched all of the preview so great! He just stood in front of me and didn't move. After each one he would look at me and clap.  It was the cutest thing ever.  He had no idea that they weren't the real show that we came to see!

 During the movie he rotated between sitting in my lap, leaning on my legs, sitting on the stair in the aisle beside my chair, leaning on the chair in front of him and walking a few seat down from me. The only time he sat in my lap was if he was eating a snack.  If this weren't a $1 kids movie we probably would have annoyed quite a few people.  For the most part he did pretty good.  There were only two times I thought we were going to have to leave.  First, he turned around during the movie at one point and saw a little boy leaning on his chair.  He started screaming and saying "My Chair, My Chair".  I swiped him up and we went and stood on the side of the movie theater to calm down.  By the time we got back the little boy wasn't leaning on his chair so he was fine.  The other time I thought we were going to have to leave was when we was walking in front of me and he hit his head on my arm rest. Thankfully I had a package of fruit snacks in my bag to distract him from the pain!!

 We really had a great time at the movies.  During all the part when something "bad" would happen he would yell out "Ah-Oh" and anytime there was Brazilian music playing he would dance and jump.  He was soooooo cute!!  Even though we had a lot of fun, we probably won't be taking him to a full price movie any time soon.  We'll stick to the $1 movie for now!!

the davis crew

Some of my family is in town from Tennessee, so we got the whole Davis crew together at my Aunt & Uncle's house for a fun night of swimming, grilling and hanging out outside.  

Here are some pictures of our evening together last Sunday!!

Baby No. 2 {10 weeks}

how far along? 10 weeks

how are you measuring? Right on track.  I was measuring one day ahead in my sono. 

size of baby? size of a kumquat

heartbeat? 188 bpm (at our 9 week sono)

total weight gain/loss? -1 lb

maternity clothes? Nope, my clothes are still fitting just fine!

stretch marks? Just the ones I got at the end of my pregnancy with Pearson.

sleep?  I'm sleeping less restlessly this week.  I bought a new pillow and that has really seemed to help. I'm usually only going to the bathroom once at night.

best moment this week?  Seeing our sweet little gummy bear and finding out that everything looks perfect!

movement? Nope.

food cravings? Anything sweet and cold.  Snicker's Ice Cream Bars, Blue Bell Ice Creams, Blizzard's, Sno-Cones, Popsicles.  You name it, I've probably had it this week.  I'm guess that's where the weight gain came from this week!!

gender predictions? No idea!! It's a 50/50 chance!!

what i miss? I still miss having energy.  I'm so ready for it to come back!!

what i'm looking forward to? A low key week after a busy weekend!

how are you feeling? Have I mentioned I'm tired? Oh my goodness, I am so tired.  I had a MOPS retreat this weekend and I'm pretty sure I got 4 hours on sleep on Friday night.  I'm still trying to catch up on lost sleep.  Other than that, my pregnancy symptoms aren't so bad.  Just a little nausea here and there. Thankfully it still goes away quickly with a little snack.  I'm so glad that I'm not actually getting sick. 

comparisons to last pregnancy? I'm feeling like I'm going to pop out any day. I'm feeling very firm in my lower abdomen so I pretty sure I'm going to start showing way sooner than I did with Pearson. My face is also so broken out right now. I don't remember this with Pearson.  

Here I am 10 weeks with Pearson and 10 weeks with Baby No. 2.

snuggling

I'm not much of a snuggler.  It drives Matt crazy. because I'll ask Matt to snuggle for bed and then two minutes later I'll push him away because I can't go to sleep snuggling. I guess I just like my space. I'm pretty sure I passed my non-snuggle loving trait to Pearson because if we get too close to him on the couch he will scoot over or tell us "no-no". He's never been much of a snuggler. Until today.....

                         

Today while I was fixing lunch for Pearson and the little girl I watch on Thursdays, they snuggled up on the couch next to each other to watch Boz. I told Sarah to put her arm around Pearson so I could take their picture. I was sure that he would push her away like he does us, but instead he just out his arm around her too!! 

our little gummy bear

We had our first real appointment with the OB and our first sonogram yesterday!!

The best part was that we got to see our little gummy bear!!

We got a wonderful report that the baby is growing right on track.  The baby's heart rate was 188 which is very normal for 9 weeks.  Their little bodies are working overtime plus their heart rate usually peaks around 9 weeks.  It was such a blessing to hear a perfect little heartbeat and a perfect developing little baby.  My biggest prayer is that our baby continues to grow big and strong.  

This sonogram picture looks almost identical to Pearson's 1st sonogram picture.  With his sonogram we went in thinking we were 8 weeks 4 days, but he was measuring 9 weeks 3 days.  With this baby I am technically 9 weeks 2 days but I was measuring 9 weeks 3 days.  Because it was one day she didn't change my due date.  Most of the time my doctor does sonograms during the 8th week but I just couldn't fit in my schedule until the 9th week.  I'm so glad we waited though, because our picture was more than just a blob!! It seems like most first sono pictures look like a little blob or a manatee but during the 9th week they start to look like a little gummy bear.  

Since we only get two sonograms, I'm glad we got to see a cute little picture of our baby!!  

Our doctor normally does the gender sono at 20 weeks but since I'm already off on my appointments she told me to remind her at my 13 week appointment to schedule my 17 week appointment a week late  at 18 weeks and we could do the gender sono early!!  Eeek......I can't wait to find out what we are having!! 

We celebrated our good appointment with snow comes on the way home!! Snow cones just taste extra good while I'm pregnant so this really hit the spot!!

busy busy weekend

We had a busy, busy weekend.  I feel like I'm just now catching up to sit down and blog.  

Have I mentioned how tired I am?  I totally remember being tired with Pearson, but not this tired.  If I don't get a 2-3 hour nap every day, I'm asleep on the couch at 7:30.  It's pitiful.  But at least I know that all these naps are helping me grow a big strong baby.  We went to the doctor today and got to see our little baby for the first time.  I'll share pictures tomorrow.  

For now, let's talk about our busy, busy, weekend. 

We started our weekend with Carson and Olivia's 5th and 2nd birthday party.  I didn't take a single picture.  I stole this picture from Ashley.  Her table turned out so cute and the food was delicious!!

Since Pearson just had his birthday, he knew just what to do with all the presents.  He had a hard time understanding that the presents weren't for him.  Thankfully, Olivia didn't mind the help and let him help her unwrap her presents.  

Saturday evening we met up with Matt's parents to drop him off for a sleepover while we went to the Ranger's Game with our ABF 

Our seats were way high up, but it didn't matter because it was just  nice to get away for the evening with our friends.  It would have been even better if the Rangers would have won.  The last three games we have been to, they have lost.  We must be bad luck.  

While we were at the Rangers game Pearson was having a blast with Grammy and Grandaddy.  Or "Go-Daddy" as Pearson has been calling him lately.  

They made a little sandbox for him to play with.  Look at that little mischievous smile. 

 Grammy also made this fun little water tower with coke bottles.  She said he thought it was the neatest thing ever!!

 We got a text from Grammy in the morning saying that he slept great!  Pearson and Grandaddy started their morning watching "golf-ball" (The British Open) and eating "tup-takes" (banana muffins).  He got to go to church with Grammy & Grandaddy which was a real treat for him!! 

 After church Matt and I headed up to Sherman to spend the rest of the day with them.  We had a yummy lunch, swam, took a little nap, played with all of Grammy & Grandaddy's cool toys, ate dinner and then headed home.  

I was too tired to take any pictures all day, so we don't have any pictures of our time together.  But I can guarantee we had a good time, because our car ride home looked like this.......

Thanks Grammy & "Go-Daddy" for keeping Pearson so we could have a night away!!
