People are not lying when they say the second trimester is heaven. I feel like a million bucks, I have no food aversions and plenty of energy. Sure, I have a bit of back and sciatic pain but this Mama is not complaining!
Week 16 was when I felt like I was finally getting a bump. So young, so naive ;) It's only been 3 weeks since this picture and I feel SO much bigger.
During week 17 we went to a Cubs game with our best friends, Kegan and Lory. I begged baby to move this entire week but he/she was stubborn!
Daddy thought it would be funny to edit my chalkboard when I wasn't home one night. However, its true :( Mama bear is on strike at work, making this Babes' first strike too. BUT - the best part of week 18 was the fact that I could feel baby kicks every evening! As soon as I got home from walking the picket lines and laid on the couch, baby went crazy! I am one happy Mama to feel those little tiny flutters.
During week 19 we went to the Doctor and found out Babes' gender! We had a small gender reveal (see below) with my family and will reveal to Nick's parents tomorrow. At the gender reveal, I had each family member guess which wives tales pointed to boy or girl for me. My Mama won, no shocker there. Lot of the wives tales point to a Baby Girl but we shall see ;) The gender was revealed by popping black balloons with colored confetti inside.
Some pictures from our 'Fall' theme gender reveal/Great Grandmas's birthday.
