baby #2

Baby #2.... poor baby #2 is more neglected during this pregnancy than Carter was. I was thinking that at this point with Carter (16 weeks) we already knew what his name would be and that he was a boy. With baby #2 we don't even have an agreed upon short list of names and obviously don't know the gender. It's funny how much more laid back we are about this baby.



Last night Joe and I were watching tv and I said "oh I just felt the baby kick". Joe looks at me all confused and says "how do you know he kicked..... he's sleeping..." Me "Not Carter you ding dong! Baby #2!"



Many days I forget that I'm pregnant but recently I've been able to feel the baby kick. With Carter I wasn't sure what a kick felt like and I wasn't convinced that I'd felt him kick until it was undeniably a kick. Like a super forceful kick! But now that I know what it feels like I can definitely feel this baby kick. I had some banana bread for breakfast and baby #2 was super excited about it! Moving all around like crazy.



Baby #2 had a dr appointment today. Not much to report. Still down a few pounds in the weight area, great blood pressure, and a heartbeat of 158... baby's, not mine.

The heartbeat predictor says that 158 at 16 weeks pregnant is a girl... I'm not so sure though. I have a feeling this little baby is a boy. The Troness family does not produce girls! All I know is that if we have another little boy as active as Carter I'm going to have to open a Starbucks shop in my house just to keep up with 2 little boys :)



Other than that there isn't much else to report. I'm feeling good. Not showing much - I'm still in the I-look-like-I-ate-too-much stage. However I am pretty pumped that I am still down a few pounds since I got pregnant. I will not gain 45lbs this time, I will not gain 45lbs this time! Don't get me wrong I know I will gain weight and I'm ok with that, but I know that there is no need to gain 45lbs.



Our next appointment is the big anatomy ultrasound. I will be going into that appointment announcing that I do not want to know if it's a boy or girl and that they should not tell me no matter how much I beg and plead!
