How*s The Pregnancy Going?

My sweet friend Jessica checked in with me recently & asked how my pregnancy was going. Then I realized I haven*t been blogging about it at all. Glory to God, there is not much to report...that is compared to my first pregnancy. (Shudder)

Oh but do I ever remember the days of folks asking me, "How far along are you?" & I*d respond with a peppy & proud, "14 weeks, 6 days & 2 hours!" Okay, I wouldn*t really say the hours, but I watched that calendar like I was counting down the days until Jesus came back! Today, you can ask me the same question & I*ll likely say, "Um..." or I"ll make something up that*s close to the last time I looked at the calendar. Contrary to my loss of time & lack of posting about the pregnancy, I*m positively beaming over how easy this time around has been! Other than strangely craving Subway sandwiches everyday & my complexion being disobedient, I don*t feel pregnant at all.

During my first pregnancy I psyched myself out. A lot. If my back ached, it*s because I was pregnant. If my wrist had a twinge in it, it was because I was pregnant. If I appeared to have more or less eyelashes one day, we*ll it had to be because I was pregnant. This time around, not only am I chasing after an almost-toddler, but my husband hasn*t had luck finding a job & I*m starting to realize we need more room. Simply put, I haven*t got the time to psych myself out!

While it may sound stressful & to be honest some days it can be---there*s no worry on my end. God has & continues to provide us with so much & for that I couldn*t be happier.

{I*m happy to report that}

I*m near the middle of the 2nd trimester & I*ve only gained 3 lbs so far. High five.

I gained 10 lbs in the 1st trimester with Lola Zoe.

I can*t get enough of Subway sandwiches. I know, I know...somewhere, in some book, some doctor says that pregnant women should not eat cold cuts to avoid getting listeria. Well I*m here to tell you, that I indulged in many a Jimmy John*s & Subway sandwiches during my first pregnancy & everything went just fine. Majority of the time, I ask them to heat mine up, but darn it--some days I just want a cold sammy!

In the coming weeks, we*re excited to learn the sex of our newest baby.

Until then, I*m feeling fine & staying fine too!
