So here we are. I am now 15 weeks pregnant with Baby Hinten #2. The pregnancy seems to be flying by already. It seems like we just found out, but that was about 10 weeks ago.
Things are going well this time around, as they did with Haley. I don't know how to describe it, but this feels completely different from the first pregnancy. There's not been any major differences, but I just feel different. I have been very fortunate to not have any morning sickness or any food adversions. I have been craving salad (sounds pretty healthy until I tell you I smother it in ranch dressing) and fresh fruit. The main difference this time is that I'm not able to eat as much in one sitting. With Haley I ate all the time and however much I wanted. This time I'm eating smaller meals. I am sad to announce that I'm not able to eat as much chocolate either. Apparently my sugar tolerance goes down with pregnancy and I get raging headaches if I eat too much of it. So sadly my chocolate intake goes down, but it will be well worth it in the end.
I've read that in second pregnancies you can usually feel movement earlier than the first time. Haven't felt anything yet, but there's plenty of time. I also have a little bit of a bump so far. Nothing that would tell you I was actually pregnant. I can still fit in all my normal clothes, so far.
Zach and I are talking with Haley every so often to let her know that she has a sibling on the way. We're not sure how much she understands, but we're hoping that eventually she'll get it.
We won't know the sex of the baby until early March, but we'll make sure to let everyone know when we do.

It's so crazy that we are due at like the same time. When is your actual due date?
ReplyDeleteI haven't felt anything yet, but with Tyson (#2) I started to around 15 weeks! I am excited for that because it is so amazing!
This pregnancy has been very different for me too. Haven't really been sick except for a stomach bug (twice).
Must be nice to have a slight bump. I feel like a blob. I wish it would get hard and look pregnant quick. I can't wear regular pants, only shirts. Yikes.
Anyway, I am rambling. Just excited for you guys! It's so exciting!
according to the doctor, my due date is on july 27, but i think it is closer to the 21st (since i know what the date of conception is). only in the past few days have i started to feel little flutters in there. my slight bump still remains a slight bump. i'm still wearing all my normal clothes and am wondering when i can start wearing all the maternity stuff! we're also hoping to find out the sex sometime in early march :) we're excited for you guys too and love reading all about it!
