22 Weeks

So I'm starting to feel like things are moving a little slower now that summer is winding down. These past couple weeks didn't go by quite as fast as the rest of the pregnancy has gone. I'm sure as we start hitting the holidays things will pick up again.

 Date: October 28, 2014

How far along? 22 Weeks

Total weight gain/loss: Up 10 lbs. No weight gain in two weeks! Most likely I'll just gain like 6 in the next two!

Maternity clothes? I decided to make the switch over to maternity clothes.... I just got to that stage where all my regular clothes just weren't fitting right and it was impossible to find anything to wear. So I pulled out the maternity clothes and am feeling much better now. Some of the shirts are still more on the big side. But I'd rather that than all my clothes being too small!

Sleep: I seem to wake up multiple times a night. But still sleeping good. I get up at least once a night to pee still.

Movement: Her kicks are starting to get a little more powerful! Some times she must jerk because out of nowhere my whole stomach will jerk.

Feeling sick? I am still feeling sick. I throw up about once or twice a week. Most days aren't too bad though. I will feel mildly nauseous in the mornings, early afternoon and evening on any given day. Some days I feel worse and on those days I take zofran and that always helps. Now I don't say this to complain! Just so that I can come back here and take a look during my future pregnancies. You definitely just get used to feeling kind of crappy everyday. Although it's still not the most fun.

Other pregnancy symptoms? I've been feeling really well other than being nauseous! I am definitely still suffering from pregnancy brain. I have gotten those weird calf cramps a couple times in the past couple weeks but have been able to flex fast enough to stop them from coming full on. All in all though feeling pretty good! No groin pain because I haven't been running or walking so that is nice although it's not very nice in the getting exercise department. I have starting going to the free per-natal water aerobics class when I can and that has been nice.

Have you started to show yet? Yes I am for sure showing. Not feeling big though. I can still lay on my stomach in bed although I'm sure baby doesn't think it's the most comfortable.

Names: So because of what happened with Jacob and names I have decided not to worry or get attached to any names. But Scott and I have still been throwing some name idea's around. Right now my top pick is Hazel. I heard it on a movie and loved it! Scott's top pick right now is Noelle. Which I also really like but I'm liking Hazel more. So we shall see....

Yesterday I went and looked at fabric to make baby girl a blanket! I found the cutest combinations and need to find just one more color pattern to make the blanket perfect! I'm so excited to make it! I hope I can find the pattern that I want.

I am not worried about jealously issues with Jacob and his new sister. I am however worried that Jacob might be a little too helpful with his sister. He LOVES babies and is so fascinated by them. My sister in law Janette just had a new baby and I asked Jacob if he wanted to hold her. It was seriously the cutest thing. He was so excited! While he held her he gave her big hugs and loved pointing out her facial features. After awhile Grandma Bergendorf asked him if he wanted her to take the baby. Jacob starting shaking his head frantically and enveloped Hailey in a huge hug! He did not want anyone to take his baby. It was so cute! I think he will do well with his baby sister. I just hope that she likes playing around and has as much energy as he does so they can be playmates!

20 Weeks

That's right everyone! It's a girl!!! I have to say that I'm pretty darn excited about this.. Like even more excited then I thought I would be! Although Scott has known it was a girl for the past couple months now he admitted that when he got into the ultrasound room he realized he hoped it was a boy. Not because he didn't want a little girl. Just that he's already raised a little boy and two Jacob's would be even better then one. He also admitted having a girl makes him nervous. :) I'm sure what he is feeling is no more different then how I felt after finding out Jacob was a boy. It definitely makes you a little nervous to have a child a different gender then yourself. All the sudden it scares you that you aren't going to be able to relate to your child and you wont know how to take care of them. But I can say now from first hand experience that it's not as hard as you think it's going to be. I have been able to relate to Jacob more then I thought I would be able to and I love having a little boy! I think Scott will come to find he experiences the same feelings. It was also a good thing we were finding out the gender because almost the very first shot of our little girl was of her bum as they tried to figure out exactly what position she was in so they could do all the measurements. It was a very very brief shot, just a scroll over really, but I guess when you've already seen what a boy looks like, and there is an appendage missing, was pretty obvious. So we knew before they even got to the gender revealing part of the ultrasound that it was a girl. They said they can't be 100% sure with girls ever but the ultrasound tech was about 97% sure it was a girl. :)

So baby girl Bergy is measuring perfectly! All of her measurements were around the 40th to 50th percentile and she weighs 12 ounces. :) This is much different then Jacob's 90th percentile measurements and 1 lb 1 ounce weight, which I'd have to say I'm perfectly fine with! Her biggest measurement was her femur bone at 53%. This was Jacob's smallest measurement. And her head was the smallest at 40%. Which was Jacob's biggest measurement. It's funny they are completely opposite in that sense. She was also in the heads down position which is great as long as she keeps it that
way! Everything on the ultrasound looked perfect and there weren't any signs of complications. And can I say I just love ultrasounds and being able to see my cute baby wiggle around all over the place! I loved watching her move and feel it at the same time. It really is just the greatest! The only sad part of a non complicated ultrasound is that we wont get more of them! With Jacob because of his large size and later because he was breech we got to have many many ultrasounds with him. Looks like Baby Girl Bergy is already cooperating better! And we want to keep it that way!

 Date: October 14, 2014

How far along? 20 Weeks, Half way there people!

Total weight gain/loss: Up 10 lbs. Now let's see if I only gain 10 more in the second half of my pregnancy. :)

Maternity clothes? I'm thinking of pulling those maternity pants out soon....

20 Weeks

Sleep: I've still been sleeping great!

Movement: Love feeling her move! Love having Scott feel her move as well!

Feeling sick? Yup, still throwing up every 4-6 days.

Other pregnancy symptoms? Some heartburn here and there. I also feel like some of those food aversions that I've had through my whole pregnancy are starting to leave me. Like eating bread, cheese and ground beef. I still don't have any desire whatsoever to eat a hamburger. I also really think salad looks soooo good. But it still doesn't taste good. Also I have started to feel so full after my evening meals even when I haven't eaten that much. I hate it. It feels so uncomfortable.  It's like it doesn't matter how little I eat it feels like I just ate a whole pizza by myself. I got this with Jacob as well. But I don't know if I got it this early...

Have you started to show yet? Yes I have. At 19 weeks a complete stranger asked me about being pregnant. That means I've passed the not looking prego just fat stage. YAY!

Now here is my first half progression pictures. I've also added my progression pictures of Jacob so you can see the difference. :) Jacob is obviously the blue one. ;)

Yellowstone Trip

Because Scott had Columbus Day off we decided to take a trip to Yellowstone National Park! We got up super early at 3:30 so we could hit the park as the sun was rising. One of our main focuses of this trip was wolf and bear spotting. Which is why we got up so early to get there. We borrowed my brothers spotting scope so we could see up close to all the action! I got a little sleep on our drive. :)

And Scott took some gorgeous pictures of the sunrise! 

 Scott was just happy because he got to drive on snow!

 Good morning Jacob! Someone is his father's son and loves adventure! Love this picture but I can't believe how big it make my little boy look...

 Love this hat we found for Jacob. It's the cutest!

 We did spot a wolf pack! It was a lot of fun to watch them play and interact. We didn't get any pictures of them because they were way too far away.

 Jacob looking at the wolves. :)

 Selfie! Our selfies turned out the best.

 Hiking down to the lower falls

 Lot's of stairs....

 Jacob was fascinated by them.

 Another family selfie!

Unfortunately we had to cut our trip down a little. I forgot my sister's had their last soccer game and I really didn't want to miss it. But we still had a lot of fun!

Clarissa's Baby Shower!

I was so excited to throw Clarissa a baby shower! Crystal and I put our heads together and came up with a pretty awesome theme and decorations. We decided to do a jungle theme with brown, orange and yellow as our colors. I made some pretty epic decorations.

It was funny because even though we didn't really tell anyone about the theme everyone gave her gifts based on that theme. So.... I really hope she doesn't mind her nursery being jungle themed because she has all the makings now to do so. It turned out so awesome though and I think that she loved it! We are so excited for little Baby Wages to join us in January!

18 Weeks

So some of you might not want to hear how my pregnancy is going as often as I'm posting... But since I use this as my journal as well as my blog I've decided I want to update more frequently then I did with Jacob. Especially after going back through Jacob's blog posts and being disappointed I don't have more information. That is why this pregnancy I'm doing the pregnancy facts. :) So if you don't like it you don't have to read it!

This is my 12 week to 18 week progression picture.

As you can see I'm not much bigger 

but have definitely rounded out a bit.

Date: September 30, 2014

How far along? 18 Weeks

Total weight gain/loss: Up 8 lbs. This really seems like a lot to me! 4 pounds in 2 weeks... Eek!

Maternity clothes? Nope. I can still lay on my stomach!

Sleep: I feel like just the past night or so I've had a hard time getting comfortable. Don't know if it's pregnancy related or I'm just going through a phase. No pain though!

Movement: Yes I am feeling that little baby kick and squirm. Love it! Wish she/he would do it more!

Feeling sick? Yes I am still feeling sick. But I actually had 6 days between throwing up! Hurray for non throw up days!

Other pregnancy symptoms? Pregnancy brain! Like not remembering what time church is or how to write an address... :) Starting to get a little heartburn. Fatigue, like more then I think I should at this point.. Afternoons hit and I feel like I want to kill over. I think my skin has become more sensitive. I easily get razor burn when I shave and when my hair starts growing back my legs itch like crazy! Never had that with Jacob. Also I definitely have less patience. Which is not ideal for either me or Jacob.

Have you started to show yet? I have a little bump but it's def not "She's prego!" I think just the past week or so I've kind of popped out a bit.

Gender prediction: Scott still thinks girl. I'm still undecided. We find out in two weeks!

I haven't run at all since last Thursday and I'd have to say my hip/groin pain is feeling pretty good these days! I wish my pregnant body would allow me to be a super mom that could run through her whole pregnancy. If it would just let me run till my third trimester that would be terrific! *sigh* Oh well....

16 Weeks

I can't believe that in just another 4 weeks I'll be half way done with this pregnancy... It really has gone by so fast. I think having a little 15 month old helps keep my mind preoccupied with other things. :)

Date: September 16, 2014

How far along? 16 Weeks

Total weight gain/loss: Up 4 lbs. My pre-pregnancy weight was 131. So that brings my grand total to 135!

Maternity clothes? No.... Not really...

Sleep: I've been sleeping pretty good!

Movement: I am most definitely feeling the baby move! And it moves so much more then Jacob did this early. With Jacob I first felt him move around 15 1/2 weeks but then I didn't really feel him move again for another week or two. Even after that movement was sparse. This little one I feel almost everyday, multiple times a day. Today I even saw movement on my belly if I held really really still. I love feeling the baby move!

Feeling sick? Yes I am still feeling sick. :( Good days and bad days about 50/50.... JUST GO AWAY PLEASE!!!!

Other pregnancy symptoms? Congestion, groin/hip pain, slight pregnancy brain, increased moodiness. Really I'd probably call it more increased sensitivity.

Have you started to show yet? Only if people know I'm already pregnant.

Gender prediction: I'm still undecided and Scott is pretty sure we're having a girl... In 4 more weeks we find out!

I'm still trying to run. My hips seem to be bothering me more and more. I keep thinking if I could just build my body up more then maybe they wouldn't hurt. But I think that's more just wishful thinking. I fear the more I run the more they will hurt. I'm thinking of switching up my routine a little bit to a walk/run. Maybe I just need to decrease my distance. We'll see how things go.

And then there were 4

8 Weeks 3 Days

 It's amazing just how fast you forget about how miserable being pregnant is, more specifically the first trimester... At least this time around I know what the end result actually feels like and that helped. I have also had a first (and probably more) trimester life saver called zofran. I don't know why I never even attempted to get this stuff when I was pregnant with Jacob, because I love it! I knew pretty quickly that I was pregnant... Four weeks to be exact because that's when I first started to notice the nausea that often accompanies the first trimester. I told Scott we didn't even need to take a pregnancy test because I was already 95% sure that I was. Fortunately the nausea didn't get really bad until my 7th week. That's when I started laying on the couch all day forcing myself to get up to take care of Jacob. Making him food was the worst because everything that I fed him made me want, or did make me, vomit. I think there is one pregnancy symptom that I hate worse then nausea and that is food aversions. How cruel to have two pregnancy symptoms that work against each other. When you feel sick you need to eat to make you feel better. But when the sound of everything there is to eat makes you feel sick then it's really really hard to force yourself to eat something that the thought of eating makes you want to throw up. So therefore you don't eat very much, causing you to feel more sick, which makes your food aversions worse. It's a very viscous cycle. Well after I hit 8 weeks I called the doctor and told them to get me in as quick as they could with anyone that was available to see me. I had hoped to not go to the doctor at all until 12 weeks but I had to try something to help with feeling sick. I had already broke down in tears multiple times just thinking about how many weeks of morning sickness were still in front of me and how many family activities there were that I would have to fake feeling good at. I just didn't think I could do it. And then there came zofran. And it worked! The first day I took it I was able to eat more food then I had probably in a full week combined. I still felt sick but it was manageable! And the best part of all was 95% of my food aversions were gone! So food sounded good again! I am so so grateful that I was able to find something that helped because I really don't know if I could have done it.

Scott and I are so excited! Something about knowing what to expect just makes me so much more excited for this one then I ever was for Jacob. I'm so glad that I've had so much going on that my first trimester has flown by.

Now for some pregnancy facts: :)

Date:  9-9-14

How far along? 15 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Up 3 pounds

Maternity clothes? I wear some maternity pants because they are more comfortable and I can. :) I probably don't really need to.
Sleep: Still sleeping great if you don't count the 2-4 times a night I'm still getting up to use the bathroom!

Movement: So I think I might have felt the baby move for the fist time just a couple days ago... I know it's pretty early but I was 15 1/2 weeks when I first felt Jacob move....
Feeling sick? Still feeling sick. :( But I had a few days last week that I didn't have to take any zofran so it is getting better! But I also had a few other days of throwing up. Very very ready for the whole morning sickness thing to be over.

Other pregnancy symptoms: Fatigue, round ligament pain, the need to pee, slight pelvic floor pain when I run.
Have you started to show yet: I feel like I have just a little. I know to everyone else it just looks like I never lost my baby weight from having Jacob. 
Gender prediction: I really don't know... But Scott has decided he thinks that we are having a girl and has started calling the baby a her. :)

14 Weeks

Some pregnancy symptoms that I feel have been different from my first pregnancy and this one is fatigue and round ligament pain. I never really felt overly tired with Jacob but this time around I have had a lot harder time staying awake during the day. I also never experienced any round ligament pain with Jacob. The fact that I'm feeling it so early actually slightly worries me for the future of this pregnancy. We shall see if it continues or gets worse. One symptom that doesn't seem to be as bad is with Jacob is moodiness... I feel like I haven't been that moody.
