I'm Back..... And I Have News!

Yes, we've been MIA for quite some time now. I apologize, we have been busy with.... life. I've been working at my "new" job Monday-Thursday at home. I took the job back in December and moved to my home office in June. Working 4 days a week is exhausting. I'm not sure how all of those people out in the world work 5 days in a row. They must have super powers. I also stayed on as registry in the ER, I don't work a lot... in fact hardly at all, but I just can't quit that job. I love it (and the people) too much. 

As far as the news goes.... The Miner family is growing. Yes I'm pregnant. Just over 15 weeks. I have a little bit of guilt because I started this blog about 5 minutes after I found out I was pregnant with Hudson and was a religious blogger all through my pregnancy. This time, it's a little different. I've been so so so sick, the nausea and fatigue has taken every ounce of energy out of me. After I put Hudson to sleep at night, I crawl into bed and sleep through the night. As I mentioned above, I work at home now, so I take naps on my breaks and sleep in late because I don't have to do my hair. It's insane. I'm not sure if Im more tired with this one because my pregnancy is different or because I have a toddler and a stressful job where I sit in front of a computer all day. Whatever it is, it's just different. We have had 2 appointments already and I still get so thrilled hearing the little heartbeat. Hopefully we will find out if we are having another boy or a girl at the end of the month. I'm excited to have a new baby again, my arms were aching to snuggle a newborn, that's how I knew it was time. Although, I don't feel ready for another one I hear you're never ready, you just have to do it. 

So here it is,  my 1st Pregnancy update. 


How Far Along:  15 weeks 3 days
Total Weight Gain: 3 lbs
Symptoms:  Nausea and Fatigue although it is fading ever so slowly.
Maternity Clothes:  Why yes, I sure am rocking a panel on my jeans. Thanks for asking.
Stretch Marks:  Haven’t noticed anything new… but my old friends from Hudson stuck around.
Sleep: I do this A LOT. Sometimes I have a hard time getting comfortable at night but I’ll take any opportunity to sleep.
Movement: Yes! I could hardly believe it a few weeks ago when I felt it for the first time, I think I was about 13 weeks. It doesn’t happen often but I love feeling the little kicks mostly after I eat.
Best Moment This Week:  We took H to a pumpkin patch this morning with some of our friends and had a great time. Hudson is at the perfect age for this kind of thing. The holidays are going to be so much fun!
Food Cravings/Aversions:  So different this time around, I have no desire for sweets. The thought of ice cream makes me ill. I have to eat every few hours and I’ve been craving salad and cheese. I eat so much string cheese, I need to start buying it at Costco. I’ll get a random craving for a burger or a burrito (from Taco Bell.. gross, I know) out of the blue every once in a while.
 What I Miss:  My old jeans and having energy leftover at the end of the day.
What I’m Looking Forward To:  My next ultrasound at the end of the month. Hopefully we will find out if we will be doing a repeat or buying ribbons and bows.
Gender: I have had a girl vibe from the beginning, but at our 12 week ultrasound I was pretty sure I saw boy parts. So…. We will just have to wait to see. I will be thrilled either way. This baby will be blessed with an awesome big brother no matter what.
Belly Pics:  Yeah, I’ll do that at some point… ;0)


At my first OB appointment. Gotta love those sexy gowns.
