Body after baby #2

Thought I would do one last update. Here I am at 7 weeks after giving birth.

I'm weighing now to 116 to 118 pounds. So still a little off from the 115 I was pre-pregnancy. Still I'm happy with where I am. If I lose any more weight fine. If not. That's fine as well.


Still breastfeeding. (SHOCKINGLY) For some reason my boobs actually work this time. I get crazy tingles when my milk lets down. Something that never happened when I breastfed with Wilson.

Callie does still get some formula. Most of the time it's if she still seems really hungry after I've nursed her. Or in the middle of the night. I'll give her a 2 oz bottle and then let her nurse more.

So far it's working. I worry though if I will continue to produce enough milk for her though.

Anyhoo, back to me. Umm yeah. So I still have a belly but I've never not had a little belly.

Still not exercising, why you ask? Because I get about 4 to 5 hours of sleep and have to wrangle a 20 month old and a 7 week old. Are you friggin crazy? Exercise. Hah!

Just trying to keep us all clean, fed, and alive is enough for me.

Nothing else really changed for me. Oh wait. I feel like my tummy looks flabbier. Which is weird. I guess maybe it got stretched out more? So I guess I do need to excercise. Or at least do some crunches.

Postpartum.

Thought it would be fun to track my body and weight after having baby girl. This was taken on Thursday. Exactly 2 weeks after giving birth. I'm probably sucking it in a little but there you go.

Scale is telling me I'm around 120-122 pounds. So if I go by the heaviest then I have about 3 pounds until I would be back to my pre-pregnancy weight.

Doing some breastfeeding (shockingly) my milk came in about 4 days after I gave birth and were super engorged. Then I got sick with either a blocked duct or even mastistis in my right boob and I fell into a coma for a day. Plus I think I was just exhausted.

No exercising, but I have been doing a lot of stair climbing. At least now it's easier! No more big belly!

Sleep is terrible, but it was terrible before baby girl came anyways so it's roughly about the same.

Baby girl is an angel. Sleeps, eats, and is just all around adorable.

Wilson... is a toddler. Throwing tantrums, being sweet, needing naps still. Speaking of. It really is naptime. YAY!

40 weeks

How far along?  40 weeks and we are all done cooking in there baby!
Weight gain/loss: 142.8 now up to 27.3 pounds from my first weigh in.A huge difference from the 60+ pounds I gained with Wilson!
Maternity clothes? Definitely! but I can still fit into my tank tops! Love those Jersey Old Navy Tank tops! Seriously they are the best!
Stretch marks? I *THINK* I may be getting some on the bottom of my stomach. I can't see that area very well though and they aren't like deep red lines but it's either that or scratch marks from Wilson. He can't get enough lifting my shirt up and playing with my belly.
Sleep? I'm super anxious thinking I'm literally going into labor with any twinge. So sleep hasn't been very good.
Best moment this week? Black friday shopping at 39 weeks pregnant. Pretty crazy but I'm still glad I went. Even if I was waddling all around.
Food cravings:  Fruit. Again. I keep seeing delicious fruit recipes and fresh fruit.
Gender: Girl!!
Belly button in or out? Super out and just all around weird looking.
Movement? She's getting really cramped in there but still able to give me lots of elbows/knees. Oy.
What I miss? Sleeping on my belly! Not feeling so huge! Being able to see my feet!
What I'm looking forward to:  Thursday! I get to meet my daughter!

38 weeks!

How far along? 38 weeks today!
Weight gain/loss: 141.6 now up to 26.1 pounds from my first weigh in.
Maternity clothes? Definitely! but I can still fit into my tank tops! Love those Jersey Old Navy Tank tops! Seriously they are the best!
Stretch marks? Still none! Whoo hoo.
Sleep? Bleeeehhh... between hiccups, tons of nudging and sharp elbows and knees and the whole peeing every couple hours. It's the best it's gonna be.
Best moment this week? Going out for dinner for my birthday!
Food cravings:  Anything that looks delicious!
Gender: Girl!!
Belly button in or out? Super out now. I would say my belly button timer has definitely "popped"

36 weeks

How far along? 36 weeks. 9 months so I guess from here I could go any time! EEP!
Weight gain/loss:139.0  up 23.5 pounds from my first weigh in. I'm sure I'll gain a couple more before I give birth but I gained a lot less this pregnancy than with my first.
Maternity clothes? Of course! Wearing lots of comfortable clothes with the weather starting to get a bit cooler. Leggings, tunics, my tank tops that I've been wearing all throughout my entire pregnancy.
Stretch marks?None! I guess I won the genetic lottery. I did get some with my first but not the really deep red ones and not on my belly. I got mine on my breasts and hips. But even those aren't too bad.
Sleep? Waking up to go pee every couple hours.
Best moment this week? Getting all dressed up and going to a fall festival. Getting to paint my belly a pumpkin was a lot of fun!
Food cravings: Everything in sight!
Gender: Girl!!
Belly button in or out? Popped out!
Movement? Lots of nudges and elbows and hiccups :)

34 weeks

How far along? 34 weeks now!
Weight gain/loss:136.4  up 20.9 pounds from my first weigh in. I bet that last month I'm going to gain double lol.
Maternity clothes? Definitely the shirts although I'm starting to be a bit disappointed in my old navy maternity shirts. Just plain tshirts but they don't cover my belly enough. I'm pretty much wearing most of my maternity stuff now. My belly is no longer small enough to fit into my regular shirts! Even my more longer shirts.
Stretch marks? Still none! but my belly button has definitely popped out!
Sleep?Actually a little better I tossed out the pillows and it seems to be more comfortable for me!
Best moment this week?Washing all of Callie's newborn to 3 month clothes. One more thing off my checklist!
Food cravings:Strawberries, apples, peaches, apple cider, grapes, ice cream! YUMMMMM!!!
Gender:definitely still a girl.
Belly button in or out? Popped out!
Movement? Tons of movement. She literally is doing kicks, punches, elbows, rolls ALL the time!
What I miss? I would love an alcoholic drink of some sort. Wine, Champagne, Margarita, something please!!!
What I'm looking forward to:Getting my house more organized, getting Callie's room done, getting maternity pictures taken!

32 Weeks!

How far along? 32 weeks that means I have 2 months to go. Whaaaat?!?!
Weight gain/loss: 133.0 I am up 17.5 pounds from my first weigh in! It definitely isn't as much as I gained with Wilson but I've got a lot on my plate this time around compared to last time!
Maternity clothes? This is still yes and no. I finally fill my maternity shirts out and am wearing my maternity shorts but I can still squeeze into my regular shorts. I just have to have them sitting low and the button kinda itches my belly.
Stretch marks? None yet! I wonder if they will show up during the last month
Sleep? Sleep is getting rougher. More peeing, more uncomfortableness, and I can't wait to sleep on my belly again!
Best moment this week? Getting a new phone! *sets old Blackberry on fire* Hurray!
Food cravings: I want to eat everything! Of course! Love love love fresh fruit though and chocolate! I want chocolate ALL the time! But I normally want chocolate all the time anyways.
Gender: still a baby girl! Callie Joy!
Belly button in or out? I would say out. It's definitely "smoothed" over so I have one of those weird alien belly buttons lol
Movement? Movements are becoming more nudges and pokes and lots of hiccups now!
What I miss? Not getting exhausted so easily. Being able to pick Wilson up, not having to take forever getting up if I have to chase after him. < Definitely still this
What I'm looking forward to: Having this house completely unpacked! UGH
Having Wilson feel better! Having this baby! Enjoying the cool fall weather and spending these last 2 months as a family of 3 with our baby boy. *sniff sniff*



And here is a naked belly picture! With Wilson I had the belly line and a darker belly button. I guess since my body's gone through this before it decided it doesn't need it this time. That's okay, but unfortunately still have the appendix scar. Boo! Wouldn't I have just the cutest preggo belly if it wasn't there?

29 weeks!

How far along? 29 weeks! I have 11 weeks left?!?! EEK!
Weight gain/loss: 130.8 so I have now gained 15.3 pounds from my first weigh in!
Maternity clothes? Yes and no. My maternity shirts are still kind of baggy on me, my shorts fit me well, and my non-maternity shirts are starting to ride up showing off belly. So it's a little of everything.
Stretch marks? None yet!
Sleep? Sleep is just a pain. It's sooo hard getting comfortable when your pelvis is just aching and you are big and can't move and you like to sleep on your stomach.
Best moment this week? Finally being done with traveling!
Food cravings: I want to eat everything! Of course! Love love love fresh fruit though.
Gender: still a baby girl! Callie Joy!
Belly button in or out? It's not in nor out. It's in that weird in between stage right before it starts to pop out.
Movement? Lots of movement. She is awake in the morning and again right before I go to bed. That's when she does her karate!
What I miss? Not getting exhausted so easily. Being able to pick Wilson up, not having to take forever getting up if I have to chase after him.
What I'm looking forward to: Well I'm not really looking forward to it but I can't wait for it to be over is our move to our new base! I'm looking forward to getting all settled in and basically prepare for Callie's big arrival! Make some new friends (hopefully) and just enjoy this time right now as a one baby household. Pretty soon it's going to be two! AHHH!!

26 weeks!

How far along? 26 weeks which is 6.5 months along.
Weight gain/loss: 127.4 I just ate and went and weighed myself to make myself weigh more. So from the first post at 115.5 that means about 12 pounds! Go me!
Maternity clothes? Finally wearing maternity shorts but only because I was getting so annoyed with the shorts I have been wearing. They are 100% cotton and have no stretch to them so after a couple hours they are all saggy and loose and I CANNOT stand it! So I bought me two pairs of maternity shorts. One of them are super short shorts though...
Stretch marks? None yet!
Sleep? Bleh... Sleep and I are missing each other. Or I'm missing sleep. I miss sleeping on my belly, rolling over with out squishing my baby, not having to wake up and pee.
Best moment this week? Getting Callie's hospital hat, and announcing her name to family and friends (although I don't think I did a post about it in my blog)
Food cravings: I want to eat everything! Of course! Love love love fresh fruit though.
Gender: still a baby girl! Callie Joy!
Belly button in or out? In, but yep definitely starting to disappear!
Movement? Lots of movement. She is awake in the morning and again right before I go to bed. That's when she does her karate!
What I miss? Sleeping on the belly easily.
What I'm looking forward to: Getting ready to go back to Indiana with Wilson for a little under 2 weeks. I can't wait to see my family and friends and I know I'll be sad when I leave! Not because I'll be sad I'm leaving Indiana, but sad that I'll be missing my wonderful family and friends! *sniff*

24 weeks

How far along? 24 weeks! 6 months. Over halfway done with this pregnancy already!?!
Weight gain/loss: 124.4 Whoo hoo! Some real weight gain! I certainly have gotten bigger that's for sure!
Maternity clothes? Don't hate me but I can still wear my regular shorts. Too hot to wear anything else other than shorts and tanks/tshirts. I have maternity shirts but they are still too loose on me, so I wear my regular shirts/tanks. I am loving my old navy tanks right now like in this picture! It's kinda stretchy and super comfortable!
Stretch marks? None yet!
Sleep? Oh how I miss sleeping on my belly! Sleep is just not enjoyable like it used to be that's for sure. But sleep after having a baby is pretty much just the same. Not as enjoyable when you have a baby monitor with a baby sleeping that can wake up any moment!
Best moment this week? Bought a really adorable dress for 10.00 that I can't wait to wear. Although I don't know what to....
Food cravings: I want to eat everything! Of course! Love love love fresh fruit though. Gender: Baby Girl!!!!
Belly button in or out? In, but yep definitely starting to disappear!
Movement? Lots of kicks, nudges, pokes. She is a hyper one in there! On sunday night I had the biggest kick I've ever felt. It literally scared the pee outta me!
What I miss? Sleeping on the belly easily.
What I'm looking forward to: Figuring out the most cost effective way to get a crib/double stroller, and maybe a couple other thing.s

How far along? 22 weeks!
Weight gain/loss: 120.8 I'm just gonna go ahead and say +5 pounds. I am really starting to think my scale must be broken! How can I weigh so little???
Maternity clothes? Still not really anything. My shirts still don't fit me at all and my shorts are still easy to fit into. Too hot to wear anything else other than shorts and comfy clothes which fit me all throughout my pregnancy last time.
Stretch marks? None
Sleep? Definitely uncomfortable now, I'm normally a belly sleeper and with the belly explosion, I now have to sleep on my side. There is now a pillow in between that I lay on in between Andy and I. I call it my "barrier pillow"
Best moment this week? Getting baby girl clothes! and mostly for free!
Food cravings: I want to eat everything! Of course! Love love love fresh fruit though.
Gender: Baby Girl!!!!

14 Weeks

1. How far along - 15 weeks (the picture I'm 14 weeks though)
   
2. Total weight gain - So far none. Either my scale is wonky or I'm just not seeing it go up yet.
   
3. Maternity clothes? - Nope
   
4. Sleep - Sleep is never the same once you have a baby. So far between the waking up to go pee, or get Wilson, or wake up from my hubby's EARLY morning PT days, I rarely get a wonderful night of sleep.
5. Best moment this week - Pregnancy related, so far nothing! But the other night Wilson ate a bug. Wasn't the best moment but definitely the most memorable!
   
6. Movement- Not yet! Although I swear I thought I felt something, but I think it was just me digesting food.
   
7. Food cravings - I always have food cravings. I just have to watch tv for a little bit and I want to eat something.
   
8. Labor signs - None yet
   
9. Belly button in or out - Still in! I'm curious to see when it pops out this time
   
10. What I miss - Not feeling so icky. I always feel just somewhat icky. Not terrible but enough to make me want to just curl up on the couch.
    
11. What I'm looking forward to - Finding out if we will be having a little brother or sister for Wilson!
