Baby #3

Spring is in the air, and we have exciting news to share!

This weekend I am 12 weeks pregnant! Due October 6th. We have known since week 4 so it already feels like I've been pregnant forever. And let me tell you, it's hard to hide a third pregnancy! My belly was just like "again? Ok! I give up" haha.

I haven't gained any weight but my regular pants are very uncomfortable so I've been embracing maternity pants and leggings already.

The worst part of my first trimester has been the back to back cold, stomach flu, cold, stomach flu.  Yes I had some sort of stomach flu type virus twice. Not fun.

Otherwise, less nausea than my other two pregnancies, although I didn't have bad nausea with either of them.  Food aversions to soda, strong garlic scents and flavors, and the sight of raw chicken. Gag.

Other symptoms include: crazy dreams (which was my first noticable symptom), some back pain, sore boobs

Have seen baby twice now on ultrasound, once at 8 weeks and then again today. Baby is growing and kicking! Heartrate of 157-160. Measured 2 days ahead but not changing due date at this point.

I will be happy with either a boy or girl.  A boy would be nice but we already have so much girl stuff that just seems easier.  Won't know for probably 6-8 more weeks.

Elsie is 4!

How is my first baby girl so big already?! I can't even believe it.

She loves:

Anything girly, dresses, heels, makeup, jewelry etc.

Playing with her sister

Her stuffed pig "Mister Pig"

Singing songs in the car

Showing off her dance moves

I asked her a few questions and here are her answers:

Favorite food: grapes

Favorite color: pink and purple

Favorite thing to watch on tv: daily bumps on YouTube which she calls "ollie and fin "

Favorite song: Heart song (to the tune of b-i-n-g-o)

What's to be a doctor when she grows up. Or a tooth fairy. 

Favorite thing to do: play with Molly (her Meme's dog)
