At my Dr. appt on Friday I found out that I am dilated to 2 cm and 50% effaced, this really does not mean much for me but of course it is better than nothing at all.  I am setup for induction on Sept 10th if I do not have her before then, so 10 more days or less and our baby girl will be here!!!

Today I went and found me a jogging stroller, woohoo!  I can start running again soon :)   I also ordered some cloth diapers, which I am a little nervous about but very excited to save SO much money and while I am at it the environment!  Hey, look at me I am a “go green” mommy. 

Now that my pregnancy is over (well mostly)  Here are some differences from my first pregnancy…

I did not eat whatever, whenever ALL the time

(just a lot of the time, wink wink)

I started out 20 lbs lighter

I gained 20 pounds less

Therefore weighing 40 pounds less at delivery with Addi compared to Aiden

I did not throw up, not once

(KNOCK ON WOOD, I still have 10 more days to make this goal)

I don’t waddle (much) when I walk

I kept active up until the end. 

Me and Marianne walked 3 times per week (when we didn’t cancel :) )  3 miles each time

I did not shop as much

(which is really crazy, seeings that I am having a GIRL!!!)

I cut back at Montessori

I did not fail my glucose test

(which I failed last time because I gave into a craving for sesame jack chicken strips at TGIFridays right before I took the test, not even thinking)

Did not take my pills

I was really bad this pregnancy and only took my prenatal vitamins for like 10 random days (I am the worst at taking pills, I hate pills)

This time I had Chloasma, the “pregnancy mask”

Could still wear rings on my fingers

 

Some things that remained the same…

I got HUGE!

Even with being 40 pounds lighter my belly ended up bigger than with Aiden because of the way I carried Addi.

I still got heartburn and acid reflux

(GAG, literally)  It was not nearly as bad this time though

Still had to pee way too much

Am still planning on an epidural with delivery

(every time I try to talk myself out of it, I talk myself out of it! If that made any sense)

Grew out of my maternity shirts

Lost brain cells

Just as antsy

Lost lots of my hair

(but this time before delivery)
