I noticed that I've hardly posted a thing about this pregnancy, when I wrote down everything about my first. Seems to be how it always goes right? Well I was just reading everything about my first pregnancy with Kallan and realized I want to be able to do that with all of mine, so here goes with this one.
*I found out I was pregnant on 10.18.12 when I was just 5 weeks and 1 day. I had taken my IUD out in the middle of August and had one menstrual cycle before I got pregnant. Way faster than with Kallan, which took over 9 months of trying but I also didn't have an IUD before Kallan. I woke up that morning I found out and just knew I was pregnant. So I took a test right then and confirmed my belief. Positive. Here we go again :)
*I told Buck with Bacon. Ha he had left early that morning to go out and set traps so I made him breakfast and laid out bacon on a cookie sheet arranged to say, "Dad Again" and baked it. He came home and I told him his breakfast was ready and the bacon was in the oven to keep warm, and I hid behind the corner to watch. He opened the oven, reached in and pulled out the "D" and just set it on his plate and kept going. So dense sometimes. I thought bacon was fool-proof for a man. Guess not. Before I could say anything however, he paused, looked at the D, and then opened the oven again and put the D back in it's spot and read it. YES! I thought simultaneously as he turned and saw me and asked, "Kallan said 'Dad' again?" NOOO. Still didn't get it. Defeated I came out from my corner and said, "No. Read it again. What do you think it means?" After longs moments of pondering, the light clicked on and he said, "You're pregnant??" Ding ding ding! We have a winner. A slow winner. :)
* I got sick within days. With a vengance. The vomiting started almost immediatley and didn't wait for morning. For several nights in a row I had to keep something next to my bed because I would wake up in the middle of the night and just vomit. Then in the morning I'd get up and vomit. Then again that night. I felt poisened. I don't know if any of you remember how constipated I got with Kallan last time, but I had thought it was because of the zofran so I decided not to take it this pregnancy. Didn't work. I got constipated again almost immediately as well but again, so much worse this time than with Kallan. I tried so hard to drink water, but my body rejected it like it was poisen. I would literally just swallow it and it would come back up before it even had a chance to get warm. Nothing I took helped me go to the bathroom so we just finally resorted to enemas. Twice a week, Sundays and Wednesdays I'd be able to somewhat go to the bathroom enema-induced. I hated food but felt better when I ate. I lost 8 lbs. I had no energy again, poor Kallan. The only thing I did these past 4 months was keep Kallan alive. The TV was an excellent babysitter which I regret and still feel horrible about. Everyone kept telling me they thought it was a girl because of how much worse I was having it, but even though it was intesified, it felt very similar to my first pregnancy so from the start I've felt like it was a boy.
* I struggled with onions this time. I love onions. With Kallan it was tomatos, I couldn't touch them and I love them. This time i've loved the tomatos and had to stay away from onions. But I'm starting to tolerate them again.
* My nose is way more sensitive this time. I smell EVERYTHING. Even things that smell good would overpower and nauseate me.
* I haven't been as forgetful or spacey this time. I mean, I still have baby-brain, but so far I've put nothing in the fridge, or forgotten anything super important. I also have way better balance this time. I still stumble a little more than usual, but I've not fallen at all this time. (Yet)
* I finally started feeling better just after 17 weeks this time. Everything just kinda stopped at once, except the fatigue, which was still pretty bad until about 19 weeks. I'm finally able to drink and enjoy water again and most foods I can eat and keep down. And I haven't needed an enema for like 3 weeks now.
* At my last appointment wich was at 17 weeks because I had to re-schedule, I had gained 6 of the 8 pounds back that I lost in the begining, so so far I'm still under my pre-pregnancy weight. But I go back in two days and I'm sure I'll have gained because I've been eating so much better since then, and I can tell I'm bigger because I'm starting to bulge a little so I'm sure it's more now.
* We found out it's another boy just after 16 weeks with a fun little gender reveal party (see previous post) and he is a little mover! He moves way more than Kallan did. I started to feel him moving around just after 17 weeks and now I feel him constantly. With Kallan when I was this early it was a rare treat to feel him move. This little guy doesn't sleep. It's fun feeling it though.
* I'm craving pop tarts and ramen noodles. Ha yes, so gross. Buck hates ramen noodles. He thinks it's like eating plastic and he's totally appalled that I'm feeding this to our child, so I just eat it in secret. Ha I take it to work and eat it, or I wait till he goes to work so I can eat my plastic in peace. I'm just happy I'm eating food and enjoying it. From weeks 8-14 the only thing I could eat that I could keep down and feel good on was hot pockets. I had one or two of those everysingleday and I ended up hating them. But I would force myself to eat them because I felt so much better when I did. I don't know if I can even look at them again now.
* I'm 20 weeks this week. Half way. I was gonna take a picture of me but you really can't even tell I'm pregnant, just that chubby phase where people who don't know just kinda look at you wondering if you might be pregnant or just gaining weight. I'll put a 24 week pic up though. Over all I'm feeling much better and I think my house is grateful along with my family because pretty much everything was being neglected. I cleaned my whole house the other day and I think there were tears of joy streaming down the walls. It's finally time to be able to enjoy being pregnant. I get to pull out the maternity clothes soon!
I'm so excited to have two little boys together. I hope they're the best of friends. Oh and they'll be 2 years 2 months apart so I'll be able to re-use all of Kallan's old clothes which is nice. Kallan has no idea what's even going on no matter how much we talk to him about it but it's okay. He'll catch on. He has some major changes coming his way and we're forming a game plan to strategize it all in hopes to not overwhelm him. We have lot's to do before June!
Oh, and no, we don't have any names yet. Same story as before, I'm sure we wont name him until it's time to come home from the hospital.

I am so sorry you were so sick! I was way sicker with Corbin, too. In and out of the hospital all the time. I thought I was dying, not having a baby! Hope all is well, congrats!!!
