We had our second baby appointment yesterday. Everything looks good. We were able to hear the heartbeat, and my bloodwork came back indicating no problems . . . I don't even have to take an iron supplement this time. We will find out the sex of the baby (God willing) at our next appointment in six weeks on October 11th.
Here are the pregnancy facts:
- Number of weeks- 13 weeks and 2 days
- Mommy's weight- 129 lbs. (They forgot to weigh me last time, but my average weight once I lost my Hannah weight was 105 pounds. I put on about 5-10 pounds when I was pregnant and miscarried the baby in February. So, if you do the math, I have already gained about 15 pounds while being sick and refusing desserts (they make me sick) and most junk food. The good news is. . . I am feeling much better these days, so I am going to start walking again.)
- Baby's heartbeat- 160's (perfect says Dr. Murray!)
- Weirdest specific pregnancy cravings- 1. Captain Crunch With Crunch Berries (haven't had this since I was a kid-- but nothing else would do!), 2. lunch meat (thanks to a post from my friend Kristi--I went crazy at the grocery store the next day), 3. raw broccoli and cauliflower, 4. grits (do grits even have a taste?)

Lori, I craved lunch meat too. Actually any and all meat (way to many bacon, egg & cheese biscuits from Hardee's!). I would buy the big packs of lunch meat, split into into several sandwich baggies, put one or two in the fridge and the rest in the freezer so I'd always have back-ups ready when I ran out. It was my late night snack many times.
Can't wait to find out what Baby #2 is. Can I say I'd love to see you have a boy! Sorry, I'm partial.
That's funny! I just had Captain Crunch over the weekend; for the first time since I was kid! Good stuff!!
Glad to hear everything is right on target!! Yeah!!

Great news, Lori. So glad you're starting to feel better. Can't say I ever craved grits! Ha, ha.
I am so glad you are feeling better these days! And yeah, grits do have taste especially if they are cheese grits!
Glad the "morning" sickness has faded. I can't wait to hear what y'all are having!
I'm so glad you're morning-sickness is gone, too! Glad I could help you crave lunch meat! haha At least I didn't make you want to throw up! I have craved stuff this pregnancy that I haven't had in forever, too! Like dill pickles, cocoa pebbles, and peanut butter granola bars - not exactly healthy stuff either! I'm glad your appointment went well. I had one yesterday, too, and I'm 35 weeks - getting so big!
