Its another Boy!!!

20 weeks with Baby Boy Redmond #2!!

So this picture is from 18 weeks 3 days! Im so excited to be pregnant again! I am even more excited that it is another boy.... I was not sure what I wanted till they told me it was a boy and suddenly I thought of all the names and room decorations. James is really excited to have a little friend to play with but he really wants the baby brother to come now. He doesn't get why he has to wait till summer. 

   So far this pregnancy has very different from the last. I found out of Nov 3rd and I was already 6 weeks at the time. I was really sick, Much worse than how I felt with James. I lost some weight and could barely eat anything. There was a lot of stress going on here so it was hard to really let this pregnancy sink in. The only thing was the constant nausea reminder. Getting up with James in the morning was hard when I could barely pull myself out of bed. The morning sickness started to subside during week 10. Met with my new OB that week who I absolutely love! Plan is the same as before only this time I am staying off the heart meds. I will be seeing the high risk again but will hopefully be delivering here in Kenosha as long as this little guy doesn't try to come early like James did. Second trimester I have been feeling better. I continued with the stress so I continued to loose weight. I was down to less than I weighed before getting pregnant with James and I was already 17 weeks pregnant. I had lost 7 pounds total but the Dr said it was ok as long as baby was growing well, which he is! I started feeling him move around week 16. Week 19 I was admitted to the hospital for 5 days for a kidney stone.... worse pain than labor!! Still in pain and there is still a possibility of still getting a stent placed. I have another ultrasound of my kidney tomorrow to check the swelling of that kidney. I have a Dr appointment Wednesday to discuss my options. 

   My parents have been coming down to watch James every other weekend while I work and he is really enjoying Grandma and Grandpa time. They have been a huge help with getting my house in order and my mom helped me go maternity cloths shopping the other weekend since I didn't have anything to wear!!  I promised myself I would look cute this time around. I am 20 weeks today and last night James and I went to target and I got a really cute lamp for the nursery that matches the bedding perfectly... I also got new bedding for the twin bed that I will be keeping in the nursery so that I can sleep next to the baby and he can sleep in his crib from the beginning. We plan to paint the walls of the nursery in a couple of weeks and then start moving some of the things from James room into the nursery. James will be getting a new dresser and hopefully a toddler bed. But is he doesn't agree to that Im thinking of just purchasing another convertable crib so that each boy can have a bed that grows with them ;) Now that I feel this little guy move more I am trying to really take in everything about this pregnancy since it almost most definitely be my last. And believe it or not but I really do enjoy being pregnant. Complications in all. As long as its a healthy baby in the end Im good.
