How I’m Feeling: All in all, I’m feeling pretty good. I still get a wave of nausea here and there and I’ve suddenly started getting heartburn (for the first time in my life). Nothing I can’t handle, though. My hips and lower back are feeling a bit out of whack, so I take advantage of any opportunity to get in a hot bubble bath. My energy is pretty good and I’m able to keep up with Piper for the most part.
What I’m Craving: Lately I’ve been craving cucumbers soaked in vinegar (I guess that might not be too unusual). Strangely, hot dogs also sound delicious these days. Normally I despise hot dogs, so my hormones must really be messing with me. I always feel like I need a sip of Coke, but I couldn’t drink a whole one by myself. My appetite is pretty ravenous and I really have to practice self-control or I’ll just keep eating and eating.
What’s Keeping Me Up at Night: Besides Piper and my aching hips, there have been many anxious thoughts keeping me from getting my Z’s. I worry about anything and everything, but especially about how Piper is going to react to having a sibling stealing my attention and how I’m going to juggle it all. I worry about being in the hospital away from Piper for a few nights (the longest we’ve ever been apart is about 3 ½ hours). I get quite emotional thinking about it all. Obviously, it will all work out in some way or another. I just wish I could be confident that it will all go relatively smoothly.
How I’m Growing: I am so much bigger this time around than last. It has actually made me quite self-conscious. I’ve gained about 10lbs so far, which doesn’t bother me too much. What scares me a little is my rapidly expanding belly. At this point last pregnancy, I was barely showing. This time around I look like a full-fledged prego. Hopefully things will balance out for me, otherwise I might be dealing with some big time belly in the near future.

You have such a cute prego belly. Piper will ajust just fine I am sure. And I will be there to help things go as smoothly as they can with having this baby!!! I can't wait!
Love ya
You're still freaking gorgeous!
I think you are so cute! It is fun to see how things are going with you since you are about 7 weeks ahead of me. I hope I can look that cute pregnant as I get bigger. Take care and good luck with all the changes coming.
Jamie, you are a gorgeous preggo woman! And I am glad to see your blog updated. I think Piper will have a love/hate relationship with the little buggie, but she'll adjust just fine!
You are just experiencing what all pregnant women do. :) And you are dang cute...I'm with Merv! YOu always get bigger faster with the next baby. Your tummy was already stretched once so it doesn't fight it as hard this time. You'll do great, and so will Piper! Things always seem to work out.
