This pregnancy is going very well. It has been different from the last in that I actually did experience morning sickness. I never got sick but felt nauseous a lot of the time. I also have been experiencing heartburn almost constantly and since the beginning of the pregnancy. This baby better have a head full of hair! But other than those mild complaints, everything has been great. I felt the baby move at 16 weeks so that has been very reassuring. Baby L2 likes to be active at night which concerns me because apparently their pattern in the womb is their pattern when they are born. Hmm. We'll have to talk about that one Baby L2.
I've really started showing recently, so I'll have to get a few pictures up. It took a while for people to realize I was pregnant which really is a good thing when you think about it! I'm just glad to be past the "chubby" stage!
I'm still dancing and am on the treadmill quite a bit during the week. I want to be in the best shape possible to have this baby and have the energy needed for two when s/he is born. We are planning on having a natural birth again at the Birthing Center. So far, everything looks good. I pray the baby likes that plan too!
I'm trying to prepare Coraline for the baby as much as a 19 month old can comprehend. I really think she has no idea what's going on but we read books, play with her baby and talk about the baby in "mommy's tummy." She's such a sweet girl and loves babies and toddlers that I really think she'll be fine. I can see her getting mad when she wants me to read to her and I'm nursing or something like that but I'm sure every child goes through a jealousy stage. We are also going to move her to a big girl bed soon so we can have the crib for the baby. I was so nervous about this but just today she started trying to climb out of the crib which is a great indicator that they are ready to move out of it. Hopefully, that move will go smoothly!
Here is a shot of me at 14 weeks. I have more recent shots (24 weeks) I just have to download them from my camera (talk about lazy)!

The transition to a big girl bed wasn't a big deal for Charlotte. Just make sure coraline's room is safe. If she wanders out at night, you could always use a baby gate to keep her in her room/section of the house. And start teaching her patience now:when she asks for juice, tell her to wait for two minutes while you finish up something. Then it won't come as a huge shock when you're stuck on the couch nursing and she wants juice NOW :) best!!!
I am SO thrilled for you guys! We are only a week and a half apart - exciting! Get those baby bump pics up! You're looking fabulous, dahling!
