Baby #2 - 12 weeks 5 days

I went to the doctor yesterday and everything looks good. I didn't ask the heart rate. I don't know if that's true that you can tell the sex of the baby from the range. I gained 2 lbs. That's not too bad I guess, especially if you could see what I've been eating lately! I crave breakfast food and potatoes. So nutritious!

I am almost feeling like myself again. I haven't been able to sleep much though. I fall asleep on the couch but if I get up and get in bed, I'm wide awake.

I already look pregnant. I can't believe it. I didn't even tell anyone I was pregnant with Lennox at this point. I guess that's what happens with a second baby. I am seriously considering busting out the full blown maternity clothes. This stage is so difficult b/c you don't actually have a "belly" but you can't button regular pants either! I tried a bella band but it just rides up and then my wide open fly shows! ha ha. That's attractive.

Everyone keeps telling me this baby is a girl but I was thinking for sure it's another boy. Although, I thought for sure Lennox was a girl up until u/s day. Speaking of, we get to find out in 6 weeks!!! I thought my doctor would make me wait until my regular appointment but she said definitely not. She's awesome.

Since we have a family history of heart defects, I'm going to get an echo-cardiogram done around 24 weeks to check the baby's heart. Since I don't know what the history is exactly, it is hard to know if it is a hereditary problem. Let's hope and pray that it is not!
