Time really has flown by this last several weeks, and I haven't had time to blog, or my internet has been down and has limited my access to the blog world! Over a month ago we found out that we are expecting a little girl. We decided to name her Gracie Mae. At the beginning of the year Jamie's beloved big Momma, Sadie Mae passed away. He also had a grandma on his dads side who passed right be fore Jamie and I started dating named Vergie Mae. We decided to name our little girl after these amazing women. I first heard the name Gracie in a book I was reading last year about some of the first African Americans to join the church in the mid 1800's. One of the women was named Gracie, and it really stuck out to me. She wasn't one of the "main characters" as you would put it, but the few times her name was mentioned I always had this great feeling and power behind the name... Any way that is where we got Gracie Mae's name from. Here is the questions I should have been doing each week...
Second Pregnancy: 27 weeks
Age of baby # 1: 22 months ( which means they will be 2 1/2 years apart)
How far along: 27 weeks and 5 days, but she is measuring a bit bigger!
How big is baby: about 2 pounds
Total weight gain:
10 pounds
Maternity clothes:
I got some pants and one new shirt, but I wear mostly the clothes I was before I was pregnant, and some from my first pregnancy.
Stretch marks:
Just what I already had
Belly button:
Innie. Stayed that way the first time, so I am pretty sure it will this time as well
Sleep:
Some days are really bad others better. I wake up at least three times a night no matter what though. Sometimes to pee, others to change sides because my hips and legs feel like they are going to break off, other times for no good reason but to wake up!!
Best moment of the week:
Cooling weather, has been sooo nice
Food cravings:
Not any big cravings just sugar!!

None really
Symptoms:
Same ol Same ol, they just go in cycles from one symptom to the next
Movement:
Pretty active, hangs out really low so a lot of jabs to the bladder
Gender:
Girl... It is crazy to think about!
What I’m looking forward to:
Having the pregnancy be over... and great fall weather
What I’m nervous about:
So many things right now, not enough time to write...
What I miss:
A body that is not in constant pain
Next appointment:
September 13th
Comparison to Pregnancy #1:
Still so different, way more pain and tired as all get out!!
