Kylee Update

It is crazy how much can change in just a couple of months. I think the most drastic change for me is obviously a physical change.  My last belly picture at 21 weeks is ridiculous! I feel like I have gotten HUGE over the last few months.  Like I've said before, this pregnancy has been SOOOO different than my pregnancy with Paislee.  In the second and third trimester these are a few things I've experienced that I NEVER experienced with Pais:

1. Pelvic pain, I noticed at around 23 weeks my groin area would KILL when I would walk.  I was still hardly showing but apparently after your first child babies sit lower or something (thats what the doc said).  At my 24 week ultrasound I literally had to pull my pants completely down for the tech to see her whole body.  I couldn't help but giggle, the poor tech had to literally put the ultrasound on my crotch! haha Now this might be TMI but I don't even care... For months I seriously felt like she was going to kick out of my "you know what".  I felt hardly any kicks in my stomach and felt everything down south...haha Luckily as she's grown she's shifted so her legs aren't down there anymore and I feel the kicks in my belly thank heavens!  Jayson got pretty used to me out of no where gasping or letting out a light scream because out of no where I'd get a kick to the crotch that would literally take my breath away!

2. With Paislee I got one of those lines below my belly button.  For whatever reason, I don't have that line this time around.

3. Acid reflux, or heart burn, not quite sure which one it is.  I've never had it before, but at night time when I'm laying down I get "burpy" haha I feel more like it's acid reflux but I have no clue...

4. Back pain! BUT, this back pain is super low, more like in my upper right butt cheek.  haha it's hard to explain but I looked online and I'm almost positive I have "posterior pelvic pain".  It is a very lovely feeling, let me tell you what!

5. Pigment spots on my face.  I've heard about this, but had no idea what that meant.  I have two spots (thankfully small) that I thought were just little patches of dead skin from getting sunburned, but no matter how hard I scrub they wont go away.  So weird!

And everything else is basically the exact same as when I was preggers with Pais.  It is just weird to me how my body can react so differently to pregnancy this time around.  Now I know what people mean when they say, "no two pregnancies are ever the same!" I thought for sure I'd get stretch marks this time, but thankfully that is one of the side effects of pregnancy I have managed to avoid yet again.

I was so good at doing belly photos with Paislee, but this time around I've taken only a couple the entire time.  Here are the last couple of weeks.  The first one is this pregnancy, second one my pregnancy with Pais.

Another big change in my life is I decided to stop working once a week.  I actually made this decision back in January so it has been a long time since I stopped working I just have failed to blog about it.  I still do the dictations (medical transcripts) from home only a few hours a week which is perfect.  It keeps me in contact with all the great people I got to work with.  I'm still happy to sub for girls when they need me, but not having the committment of going in once a week has been so great!

Paislee started saying on the days I would leave for work, "Mom, don't go to work. Stay with me."  I started thinking, why would I go to work and leave Paislee if I don't have to? I guess for selfish reasons like wanting to have a day to myself to do something I love, but I noticed the night before work I was always saying to Jayson, "I don't want to go to work tomorrow!" (not because I didn't love it, but because of the long drive and time away from Paislee).  So finally he said, "Well, you don't HAVE to go to work so how about you stop then?" Oh.....that would make sense.... So I put in my two weeks shortly after. 

Having that one extra day with Paislee means the world to me.  She is my little buddy and now the thought of having to work and leave her for a full day every week makes me sad to think about.  We're BFF's! Every day I am so grateful I get to have the "job" of being a stay at home mom.  It truly is the greatest gift and I'm thankful for a hardworking husband who allows me to do the one thing I've dreamed my whole life of doing, being a mom!

Okay, 2 down, 1 to go! Next is an update on Pais.  I have to pace myself with this blogging thing.  Also, I will be posting nursery picture's soon which is when you'll get to see what this little sissy's name is going to be.  Can't wait!!!!
