Surprise!! 13 weeks pregnant!

Surprise!! The Beltons are expecting baby number TWO due November 22, 2014. We are beyond excited, and can't wait for Austin to have a baby brother or sister! Hooray to a very exciting year for our little family!







How far along?  13 weeks
Total weight gain:  3 pounds
Maternity clothes? I'm mainly wearing lulus, jeans with the Bella band, and I did buy some maternity shorts and a couple tops. I'm waiting until we move to break out my maternity stuff from last time.
Stretch marks? Nope!
Sleep: Sleeping well except for peeing all the time!
Best moment this week? My husband getting to hear the heartbeat this week for the first time! He missed out on my emergency ultrasound and my first doctors appointment so this was very exciting for him!
Miss anything? Being skinny haha.
Movement: Not yet but I’m getting really excited for that. I've heard you feel it sooner the second time around so I'm hoping for that!
Food Cravings: Pizza, cupcakes, strawberries, and blueberries
Anything making you queasy or sick? Depends on my mood
Have you started to show yet? Yes! Which is about a month sooner than I showed the first time. Which means I had to spill the beans a little sooner than I had hoped! Which also means I'm not going swimming with Austin and daddy until I'm a bit bigger and can rock with bikini without people just thinking I'm fat.
Gender prediction: I think boy. Although I'm not as confident as I was with Austin. Leigh thinks girl because I've been feeling a lot more nauseous than I did with my first pregnancy. BUT they do say every pregnancy is different. We will be happy either way and no we are not finding out the gender until this little one is born! It was such a joy and surprise the first time around and we can't wait to do it again!
Labor signs: No
Belly button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or moody most of the time: So happy, especially after the ultrasound and hearing the heartbeat. We’re so glad that everything is going okay after a few bumps in the road.
Looking forward to: Feeling some movement.


This past few weeks have been a bit of a roller coaster ride! We were ecstatic to find out we were expecting again of course but after having some bleeding we were left feeling more stress than anything. But after an emergency ultrasound (which showed I was 3 weeks further along than I thought and a very active baby) and two doctors appointments we were reassured that the spotting was normal and everything was fine. It has definitely left me a lot more on edge though and I have had a harder time enjoying this pregnancy as I'm constantly worried that something bad is going to happen. I was told to just take it easy though (which makes moving in two weeks a bit more difficult!) and not stress....which I'm trying to do. Either way, we are so very excited to give Austin a little brother or sister on or around November 22nd! Wish us luck and pray for us as we go on this amazing journey of pregnancy, birth, and parenthood once again!
