Baby Perry #2 is 14 weeks

I interrupt this blog to bring Baby Perry #2 updates! This is mostly for my keepsake purposes, but you are more than welcome to fallow along! :)

How far along? 14 weeks! We have finally reached the 2nd trimester :)
weight with Michael so that makes me feel a little better. I gained 50lbs with Michael so I am trying not to do that again! We shall see. I have been staying active and eating healthy (most of the time), so that should help.

Maternity clothes? A few. Mostly because they are so comfortable and I don't like things clinging to me right now. Dresses are my go to right now!

Stretch marks? No. Praying I can avoid this again. I have been drinking water like a horse to help.

Sleep: Sleep is good...SO good I wish I could have more, but 2 Year olds don't like sleeping in ;). 

Best moment this week: Making it to the 2nd Trimester

Have you told family and friends: Yes! It was really hard keeping it a secret for a little while though!

Movement: I think I may have felt a few "flutters" this week. Could just be gas, but doc said with your second baby you may feel it earlier. I was 16 weeks when I felt Michael's first movements.

Food cravings: Hummus, hummus, and more HUMMUS! Any flavor, with pita chips. I may or may not have eaten 3 tubs of hummus last week :) Also boiled eggs, peanut butter, and oikos greek yogurt crunch (all flavors, but especially coconut!) .......oh and turtle tracks ice cream. Gotta have a balance right?! :)

Anything making you queasy or sick: The first trimester everything made me nauseous...foods, smells, or just the thought of certain things. Thankfully that has subsided and I do not feel queasy at all.

Have you started to show yet:  Yes! I am showing a lot earlier this go around, but its at that awkward " is she prego or just eating too many donuts" stage. It is growing weekly though!

Gender prediction:  We did the MaterniT21 blood test at the doctors at 12 weeks (you can do it as early as 10 weeks) to test DNA in the fetal blood. It's 99% accurate and I liked those odds so this impatient mama did it and......another precious baby BOY! Lawson Stokes Perry will be his name. We decided on the name Lawson because Law was my grandmothers maiden name. And Stokes is my hubby's grand father's last name.

Belly Button in or out? Already out! But it never went back to normal after my gallbladder surgery in August, so I think that's the culprit!

Wedding rings on or off? On and loose as always. I have to wear a ring guard even with my 4.5 size finger! I know this will change though.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy :)

Looking forward to: My hubby coming home next month!! And starting our new adventure together in Tennessee at Fort Campbell in May....even though I am going to miss my family and church family terribly it will be a great experience. Also becoming a stay at home mom on April 22nd! I have been praying so hard about this because I have been very passionate about wanting to stay home and raise my boys! God is SOOO good and faithful!
