Y’all this pregnancy has been kicking my butt! I am 33 weeks right now and here I am finally getting this update put together. As over this pregnancy I am my second trimester wasn’t that bad. I was home for the majority because it’s summer time. I was able to visit my family for my birthday. I haven’t seen them since Christmas. That just, honestly restored me! I needed to see my parents and grandparents and my siblings. I so enjoyed watching my son and my nephews interacting and playing and even arguing because it reminded me of me and my siblings when we were their age. 

We found out the gender, ANNNNDDDD issa boy!

I am super outnumbered now lol. I was upset when I first heard the tech say it was a boy because I  just KNEW that this baby was a girl! But after that initial shock the tech also told us that he is developing as he should so I am very grateful and thankful. Now I’m not gonna lie, my mind still drifts to “maybe she saw it incorrectly on the ultrasound and then on the delivery day we’ll all stare in shock at our daughter!”, but I snap out of that pretty quickly. A girl can dream. 

Everyone’s initial response to finding out we’re having another boy is, “Oh you can just try again later for a girl”, I know they are just trying to be nice but it feels weird. Unless God says differently this will be our last child so I am officially a boy-mom. The insinuation that we could just have another child is funny because we could just as easily have another boy and children are expensive! This is it y’all!

My major symptoms the second trimester were just being tired all the time. I didn’t have any heart burn or itchy skin. I had the blood glucose test and that came back great, which is great because I don’t think I could adhere to a gestational diabetes diet. I have gained an appropriate amount of weight. My last pregnancy I gained close to 50 lbs and I have no idea how it happened. This go-round I feel larger at same points in my previous pregnancy but I don’t weigh the same *shrug emoji*. 

With working from home, I’m sitting a lot more and generally more sedentary this pregnancy but I guess because i’m running after Green bean that’s keeping my weight down. I don’t know! 

Those of you that were pregnant more than once, is this what happened for you? Let me know in the comments!
