Pregnancy Update

Sooo.. I haven't done one pregnancy update. Well, no time like the present. :) We are so excited to have a new little baby at our house! (I think. haha) I am nervous I forgot how to do all the newborn stuff again... and I am having weird anxiety, like what if i don't remember how to nurse?! Ha, ya right... I nursed Noah for 14 months.. I hope I didn't forget 14 months of my life. Anyways, I thought after going through pregnancy and delivering one baby... I would be totally confident the 2nd time around. And well, I am still so nervous! Let's see, I am 16 weeks along and I have a belly but it mostly looks like I am fat, not pregnant. I am ready to look pregnant so I don't have to worry about people thinking I am overweight! Ha. I finally stopped puking every day about a week and half ago. Thank goodness. [Another fantasy I created myself was that this pregnancy would be so much easier then my last.. you know, no morning sickness, no pain, no exhaustion, no headaches... I pretty much thought I would have it perfect this time around. HAHA. Ya freaking right.] I have had some pretty sucky back pain and I don't sleep very well. I have had headaches and some major exhaustion... and besides the morning sickness, I think the worst symptom of all has been my emotions! I have always been a pretty emotional person [I am a cancer after all..] but holy cow, this baby is making me crazy! I literally cry like 3 times a day... on a good day. I am on an emotional roller coaster from heck! Haha. But it's all good. Overall, this pregnancy has had some similarities and some differences from my last one. I haven't gained very much weight this time... which you wouldn't guess by looking at me.. considering I have been wearing my maternity pants since about 10 weeks. That's embarrassing. When I asked my midwife, she just said, " Things are just looser and already stretched out more the 2nd time." Oh man. I am hoping all that 'stretched out-ness' will prevent me from not getting any stretch marks again! If I didn't get any stretch marks the first pregnancy... will I get them this time??? Another dumb concern I have been having. I have only taken one picture and it was this morning... And since I just look chubby.. I will be waiting to post one until I look cute and pregnant. :) We scheduled the ultra sound for Feb 15th and I am so so excited!
