2nd Trimester Recap

 

We just hit 30 weeks and rolling into the third trimester, it's getting so close! 

We had our second ultrasound where we had the anatomy scan.  She is still hanging out pretty low and didn't want to show her face off.  We did finally get a picture of her sweet little face.

 We also found out that we were expecting a little girl!  We had a genetic test done earlier in the pregnancy that was able to tell the gender by having blood drawn.  We had the gender in an envelope and didn't peek.  My brother in law had the honors of looking at the envelope and making sure we had the correct confetti poppers.  As you can see in the video my popper actually didn't go off, I was so surprised to see pink confetti that I didn't even notice at first.

 

It was such a fun experience to share with family.  We are so excited for our little girl!

Symptoms: 

Definitely experiencing acid reflux and as she is getting bigger she is taking up more and more room.  The shortness of breath is real.  

 

Cravings:

Not a lot of cravings or food aversions, I definitely still want Mexican food all the time and Taco Bell always sounds good ;)

 

 Kicks:

I started feeling little flutters around 16-18 weeks, not sure if it was the baby or not.  Now she is kicking like crazy!  It is so weird but also so neat to feel those kicks!

My bump just started to pop a little bit and now it just keeps on popping for sure! 

Being pregnant during a pandemic is definitely a different experience.  I'm sad that Kyle hasn't been able to go to appointments, we haven't been able to share a lot of things with our families.  Even with everything being crazy we are so excited to welcome this little baby.
