I have worn this look to the zoo last week but it would be also great to wear for running errands. This looks was super casual, almost a little too casual for myself but I loved it through and through. The color combo and the combination of oversized tee and khaki shirt and leggings is a pregnants woman´s dream. They come in very handy whether you want to lounge around the house or style a cute look plus they are pretty affordable.
How adorable is this pink midi dress ??!! All of a sudden I just love to wear pink. The last years I haven´t really gotten any new pink additions for my closet but to be honest I just don´t know why because this year I am totally into it.
PInk is a bright and fun color and as great nudes are sometimes it just has to be some color especially for Spring and Summer. A midi dress has always been a huge favorite of mine. There is something about the length that is elegant and feminine but still playful.
I have worn this exact combo on Easter Sunday and it held up pretty well. Lots of space for the baby and brunch and overall a great color combination I was very pleased with.
There are still 6 to 7 weeks left until the baby is here so I am trying really hard to find cute looks and so far it hasn´t been a huge problem but there are days in the week I just want to stay in my nightgown cause it is just so comfy. Maybe all my mamas out there can relate.
I have been so sick last week and the weekend before I just don´t know what hit us there. Maybe after two years of wearing masks and socially distancing there is no immune system left to fight of the germs that are around.
Also Emilia´s second birthday was yesterday and I super emotional all day plus I had to power through cause yes I am still sick. Being pregnant and having a cold really sucks cause there is almost nothing you can take that actually works.
But let´s have a look at my second trimester. I haven´t done a bump date for my first trimester cause first of all I didn´t take any bump shots plus my first trimester was exactly the same like I was pregnant with Emilia.
Did I have morning sickness?
No , not particularly. I definitely was sick once a day from week 6 to about 16. My sjckness started everyday around 11 am, like clockwork. I got super sick and also super hungry and tired. It was pretty hard and lasted about two hours each day. So I went and made us something for lunch that was possible for me to eat a few bites of and then I would go to bed with Emilia and sleep for about two hours. To be honest this has been very tough to handle with a toddler.
Did I have any cravings?
Yes. Mixed cravings. Apples for example, I never eat apples. And ham. Ham has been a big craving as well as hash browns. Everything of that has faded now and I just eat what we have planned for our daily or weekly meal.
Did my bump grow quicker?
A lot. I still can not believe how fast I showed this time around. The most people have guessed it first. I could have never waited until week 20 like I did with Emilia the first time around. Unbelievable how the body is capable of changing so quick.
Was I as excited as the first time around?
I definitely was. After all this is a wonder every time and the first ultrasound is super special to me. But it might have gotten a little lost in my days at home with a busy toddler. I can not focus and concentrate as much on my pregnancy as the first time cause I am not alone at home anymore.
How did we find out the gender?
We found out about the gender around week 14. We did genetic testing this time and the blood tests show the gender so our doctor told us after week 14. And I was super surprised that it is another girl but to be honest my symptoms have been absolutely equal to my first pregnancy.
Do we plan on having a second nursery?
The plan always was to give the bigger room (where Emilia currently sleeps in) to the two same gendered kids (we want three) and the small room to the single one. Now that we have two girls close in age we are going with a shared nursery and I am so happy about how everything is coming together. Hopefully it will be ready before the second baby is here. Furniture delivery hasn´t been as easy and quick as it used to be.
How far will the kids be apart?
A little over two years.
Is is harder being pregnant with a toddler at home?
At times it definitely is. I am getting tired a lot more often and quicker plus my back hurts from carrying Emilia to much but other than that it is still okay. Might change until the end of my third trimester but so far so good.
Is there something we are planning on doing different with the second baby?
There are some small things I want to try to incorporate as early as possible. With Emilia for example I let her fall asleep on the sofa an let her sleep there so she never learned to fall asleep in her crib for naps so I definitely want to change this. Also I want to be more consistent when it comes to feeding. Emilia didn´t like being fed anything other than milk so we weren´t to follow through when it came to mash and purees but I definitely want to give this another try. One thing I wanted for me is to make it longer in terms of breastfeeding. I got to about months and then my milk supply dropped so I really want to work on that, maybe get to the full 12 months. Also I have a feeling there won´t be much pumping involved this time around cause there just won´t be the time with a newborn and a toddler so exclusively breastfeeding it will be.
Is the time going by faster ?
Time is definitely flying by this time. Yesterday I somehow realized that there are only 10 weeks left and I am not done with a single planned project (like the shared nursery, the nurses baskest or packing my hospital bag). These are all things I wanted to accomplish before baby gets here so I have a calm state of mind.
The dress I am wearing in all the pictures above is from amazon and I probably own it in six different colors.
today is the first real day after all the Christmas festivities and we are still in a lazy rut although I cleaned up today but that was it. We hung around in our PJ´s all day and had leftovers from all the food we ate in the last couple of days. I am sure anybody else who hadn´t go back to work today did the same.
Anyways let´s talk about the real news over here – we will be having another little baby next year in June!!!!! I can´t wait for it to be here and for Emilia becoming a big sister. We also already found out the gender but I am going to share that in a separate post.
It has been a whirlwind around here. Being pregnant while chasing after a toddler is extremely hard but I am so glad she still naps so I did as well. We tried to tell her what is going on and so far she knows that there is a baby in my belly and she has to be very gentle but other than that I am not sure if she totally grasps what is happening here. We´ll see but the last couple of weeks she has turned into the best doll mom we could ask for so I am going to stay positive.
I am now 17 weeks along and my first trimester symptoms are finally fading. I am so happy that the nausea and the exhaustion is lifting. I just can´t believe that I almost forgot everything from my first pregnancy. How great it is to watch your baby on the ultrasound and hearing the heart beat plus the anxiety and excitement before every appointment.
Since this is my second pregnancy and also everyone told me I am not surprised that my bump is already quite noticeable. I had to change into my maternity pants last week, so that´s that.
Going to share more on an official bump date post so that´s it for the day. See you soon.
