Baby Alford #2 is on her way, yes, i said HER!!!!! We are blessed with a baby girl this time around and WOW is this pregnancy different! Let’s see….morning sickness every day for the first trimester and into the second a little, WAY more cravings, WAY more movement early on (although that might be because I know the feeling now) and I am getting bigger WAAYYY faster! I am 22 weeks this week…only 18 more to go! Baby girl is the size of a spaghetti squash this week and kicking like crazy all the time. It is the most amazing feeling in the world and I am thoroughly enjoying it this time around. Every movement makes my heart so happy. I am already totally in love with her. She seems to love when I do my Zumba classes at the gym…how can she not? Awesome music & dancing!!!! And me laughing at how ridiculous I am starting to look in the mirror!
We are set on the name but haven’t announced it yet – working on baby girl’s middle name and we are starting to work on her room now that the holidays are over. Tristan knows there is a baby in my tummy and I talk to him all the time about it but I don’t think he is going to get it until she arrives. He does enjoy bouncing on his little sister which is quite funny! I will try to update this blog as much as I can but honestly I forgot about it until today – oh yeah, my memory is WAY worse this time too…pregnancy brain has totally set in. I left Tristan’s ‘baby’ and his pacifier in the pantry yesterday when I was getting out cheerios for him and it took me FOREVER to find them. I also lose my keys on a daily basis and find them in bizarre places.
Cravings List So Far – MILK, MILK & MORE MILK!!!! I am addicted to milk! Oranges, cottage cheese, steak-n-cheese sandwiches from subway with tons of pickles and olives, the beach club sandwich from jimmy john’s, BLIMPIE! Oh, and OLIVES on everything! The usual things too like dark chocolate, cheese and mexican food but that is just me….not sure if pregnancy has anything to do with it!
