September Check-In

Here is a little update on life in the land of Lewy…

Jason is back at Momentum, thankfully, and doing well. He has been given more duties and has opportunities to go into management. Best of all, he is only 15 minutes from home now. Such good news considering he is close to Jaxon during the day, if needed and will be super close for when baby arrives. Regardless of where he is, he adapts to the environment and has such good character and personality that he connects and makes clients out of strangers. I am so proud of him!

Jaxon is so smart! He talks so well, learning new words seemingly every day and we have full on conversations with him. Coherent, intelligible conversations. It’s adorable and exiting. We really haven’t broached the subject of baby again with him, we have plenty of time, although since I am showing now, I am waiting for the questions to roll in. I think he will be an excellent big brother. But considering how darn loved and spoiled with attention he is, I think it will take some adjustment.

I am officially 4 months pregnant, 16 weeks now. Baby is the size of an avocado and the best purchase for a pregnant mom with previous losses is a Sonoline B home fetal Doppler. Since I don’t feel baby yet (well, I do- but so few and far between that I don’t really count it yet) I can plop that wand on my tummy at night, hear his/her heartbeat and sleep peacefully. I am showing now- I have a decent bump going. I think it is safe to say that I look pregnant and no longer question if I had too many donuts and beer. My energy level is not what it used to be, at all, and I am pretty bummed about that. No matter what time I got to bed at night (which has been earlier and earlier lately) I don’t seem to get enough rest to feel like I can take on the world. Since I have several weeks into the 2nd trimester, I have basically accepted that I am not going to get my energy back this time.  My morning sickness (LMAO- all day sickness) is much better, but still hanging around. At this point, I don’t expect it to go away either, but I am truly thankful for those days when it stays at bay or just barely shows up.

Maxi skirts and linen pants are my best friend right now. Oh, and yoga pants. Love yoga pants! I am all about comfort and haven’t even attempted to try to reason with my fashion sense. I have scarves and sweaters tucked away for fall and winter seasons- so, I will worry about my prego-fashion at that point and focus on staying comfy and cool for now. Although, I have gotten compliments recently on my outfits, so I guess I am doing something right!

I am utterly thankful that I am experiencing my 1st and 2nd trimester during summer and early fall because the heat is awful and I could not imagine being 7-9 months pregnant right now! Ugh! I give tons of credit to all the ladies that do it- I am thankful for my early summer baby and my current pregnancy with a Spring baby!

I will have many more updates over the next several weeks.
