baby post

i always love seeing my real friends and even my blog friends (who i do not know personally but feel like we are friends. if you read blogs maybe you can relate) little and big pregnant belly's. i also like to keep track of how i looked and how i felt and not forget the hundreds of emotions and thoughts that all rush together during pregnancy.

so here you go: baby ryder number #2 at 19.5 weeks.

a few little things i don't wanna forget about baby number two:

*threw up, constant nausea, bad skin, and exhausted for first 15 weeks.

* i like to eat and trying to be healthy but what comes to mind specifically is: salsa and pretzels. pickles. popcorn with hot sauce on it. anything chick fila sells. frosted mini wheat cereal. lots of water with limes. ice cream (from kline's is the best and almost eating it daily. uh-oh.). greek salads. frozen grapes and blueberries. i do eat protein and veggies.

*hate coffee for the first 15 weeks and then i am good to go again. but only decaf.

*this pregnancy has been nearly identical to ava's...sick for a little bit and then basically feel like myself just a little larger.

*more anxious for labor and delivery than with ava b/c know i know what is coming.

*i will be wearing leggings basically for the next 4-5 months. don't judge.

*i am finally beginning to feel our little one move inside me. not a lot but enough know he/she is there.

*ava loves to talk to my belly and yesterday told me she was going to teach the baby to dance.

ah, i love that.

*hey little baby...your daddy is obsessed with you. get ready. he can't wait to meet you.

baby gender will be revealed next week tuesday. can. not. wait.
