Baby Kouwenberg #2

Hello everyone and say hello to baby kouwenberg #2! This little one will be joining it's sibling in the real world in about 21 weeks - right around hallowween and thus has been dubbed "pumpkin".

This pregnancy has been NIGHT AND DAY different from Naomi. Last time mommy felt sick for about 9 months, this time it seems to have kept itself to the first trimester other than heartburn. Heartburn had essentially stopped, but the last few days it has come back with a vengance. Pretty much since the end of last month baby started moving around enough that mommy can feel it and that's when the heartburn kicked back in again.

Sleep has not been a problem yet which has been nice. The pelvic problem has not presented itself again too much this go around which was the biggest problem last time for sleep. I get the occasional "crack" (like when you crack your knuckles or when you crouch down and your knees crack" when rolling over or before getting out of bed, but that's pretty much it - I'm loving that! I definitely do NOT miss doing excercises every night before bed!

Can't say much else right now really, also probably shouldn't, with being back at work so I can be back off on mat leave in a few months I've been waking up VERY early! 5am seems really early to me...but with that I only have to do 4 days a week instead of 5, so that works out nicely for cheaper daycare!

So yes, signing off for now, enjoy the pictures and write again soon - hopefully with belly shots!
