I don't even know where to begin with my update since it has been a couple of months. I am now 18 weeks pregnant! Woo-hoo. This pregnancy is VERY different than my previous one. I feel like I am so busy with Lucy that I for get I am pregnant half the time. I only had a little bit of nausea around 6-8 weeks. Got sick once at 16 weeks and that was it for morning sickness so I consider myself really blessed to have it so easy. My appetite has NOT been crazy like it was with L. At my last appointment a couple of weeks ago I hadn't gained any pregnancy weight yet which was exciting to hear since I still have pregnancy weight from before. Also, I am still on progesterone injections twice a week. The dose was just recently lowered to see if my levels would do fine at the amount (and save me money) but if they don't then I have to up the dose.
I know these are boring details but I am typing them mostly for my own memory of this pregnancy.
I am continuing to nurse L. even though I though I would have liked to have weaned her by now. I really don't know what to do to wean her since she is such a big fan of nursing. She cries and cries if I don't nurse her during her normal nursing times during the day. She is down to about 4-5 times in 24 hr.s. Right now and for about the past month it has been sooooo PAINFUL to have her latch on and nurse...at least for the first 5- 10 minutes then the pain dies down. But my breasts ache all day then by the evening I just cringe when she latches on because it hurts so badly. Maybe it is the change in hormones???? I am not sure. Any ideas?
What else is new? Oh, I have been watching a little boy now for the last month about 3-4 times a week and now 2 times a week. He is adorable. He is just a few weeks older than Lucy but he can walk and climb everything and he is definitely all boy! They get along really well. I think Lucy had some major adjusting issues in the beginning but now it doesn't seem to bother her as much. She is just extra clingy when he is around, which is fine with me.
Also, I am starting to work with a company called Singers Company. If you read this blog, barefootinthekitchen.blogspot.com then you may have seen this post awhile back. I was very interested when I saw and now as things have worked out I start my first class of girls this January. It is going to be a lot of fun and provide the extra income I have been looking for :) I just have a lot of work to do before hand...like get some extra energy, haha!
Well, I have to run...I will try to update more later :)
