Baby Bump #2

For those of you who care about this sort of thing, here is a post about Pregnancy #2, complete with pictures! For those of you who don't care, you should skip this one ;) I'll do another post with a birth story. And don't worry....I'll include a jump break on that too in case you don't care to read it!


This time around, my nausea was much more manageable than it was with my first pregnancy. I think that's because I still had some leftover Zofran, and as soon as I started to be unable to eat anything....I took it and it helped. Then I called my wonderful OB who prescribed me more Zofran over the phone, and Chris was a saint and picked it up for me on his way home from work.

I also couldn't have done it without my stellar neighbors, either. They took Daisy for playdates so I could nap (or just lay around feeling gross, haha), and Arica even came over and cleaned my kitchen a couple of times. My Mom also came out and helped me a bunch.  I cried. I can't believe I was blessed with such an incredible support system.

I was able to stay more active during this pregnancy, and I ate better for the most part. I could've done better, for sure, but I wasn't too bad off. But I still gained 60+ pounds and had a 9lb baby :P So I guess I just gain a lot and am made to pop out big babies!

I had much worse hip pain with this pregnancy, though. My symphisis pubis joint (right in your crotch, haha) was super painful along with my sacroiliac joint (though that one got much worse postpartum). It's still hard for me to sleep on my side *crying face emoji*

The day I took a positive PT (so like, 4-5 weeks?) - I had been exercising a ton and was in the best physical shape I'd been in years.
