Goodness! I find it comical that I was just doing these pregnancy updates with Jenson. Then I went to doing all his monthly updates after he was born, and once I finished with all those, I'm back to do another pregnancy update with baby boy number two!
That's right I said baby BOY #2!!!
We are having another boy. Oooo I get all smiley when I think of my two little boys being the best of buds. Gosh I'm so dang excited!! It's also very nice that I don't have to worry about getting anything. I kept everything Jenson had so we are set. Wheww... I have more time to relax ;)
So far, I have been feeling a ton better. But, still so exhausted. Blah... Is this tiredness ever going to end?? I don't remember being this tired with Jenson. Well, I definitely was at first... but it didn't last the whole time! I'm getting impatient and would really appreciate if my energy level picked up just a bit.
Luckily, I haven't had any food aversions. But, that just means that I want to eat everything in sight. For about the passed month I haven't been able to get pizza out of my mind. MMmmmm PIZZA! Every time we go out to eat I always suggest a pizza place. I think Alek is getting pretty tired of eating pizza... One night I literally woke up in the middle of the night and could smell Fredricos Pizza as if it was seriously waiting on my night stand ready for me to eat. It took me forever to go back to sleep because my mouth was watering so bad. I was sooo depressed that I really didn't have any pizza for me to eat. You can bet your bottom that day we went to Fredricos.
After all that pizza talk, lets talk about weight gain. Hahaha. So far I'm headed down the path where I will probably gain twice as much as I did with Jenson... I gained 28 pounds with Jenson. I was pretty proud of that. So far with baby #2 I've already gain 13 pounds.... oh goodness I still got along way to go and a lot more baby to grow! (That totally just rhymed...HA!) Oh well, as long as me and baby are healthy, right?
Sleep has been... okay..... I wake up on average twice a night to pee. I get really happy when I wake up and realized I haven't peed all night. Of course, right then I have to hurry and run to the toilet. But sleeping through the night is definitely something I celebrate now days. I still sleep on my tummy. My poor baby is probably getting really tired of being slept on at night. But, it's the only way I can get comfortable!! and I'm sure my tummy sleeping days are close to an end, so I need to enjoy it while I can.
I'm already wearing my maternity pants. It's no rumors guys... you definitely get bigger with your second child. At first I was super depressed and tried to go as long as possible without pulling out my old maternity pants but I'm finally over it and could care less. "Whatever! Just bring me some pizza!" My belly button is already almost poking out. I remember with Jenson it poked out WAY early and I was super embarrassed because I always thought I wasn't suppose to poke out until you were like 9 months prego. But nope, apparently mine likes to poke out super early. Hahaha
Well, that's probably a good enough update eh?? I'll try and do this every 4ish weeks. Now enjoy a blooper of our 20 week photo op. This is what Jenson did when I told him to give me kisses. hahaha! I think he thought I meant 'blow kisses.' Still super funny though!!

12 months
Wow! This month has been a HUGE milestone for Jenson. He has learned soooo much! It's like he's been holding out on us and waiting until he was a year and then just one day decided to show us all his tricks. Silly boy.
He weighs 25lbs, is 30.5 inches long, and still has a huge head sitting in the 97% at 48 cm.
He now has 4 teeth. Yes, he got all 4 teeth this passed month. Crazy! His top ones came in first which was kinda funny.
He actually starting to 'legit' crawl. One day he literally just took off. He does still army crawl half the time. It's just whatever he is in the mood for.
He can crawl up stairs and thinks he is so cool for doing it. We spend a lot of time on the stairs lately.
He is obsessed with eating Rorie's dog food and playing in her water dish. We have to keep hiding it but somehow Jenson can always smell it out.
Jenson pulls himself up on everything and now cruises around.
We've gotten him to start only using one of our hands when he walks with us. He has taken a couple steps by himself and sometimes will walk from one thing to another if the distance is short enough.
The first two weeks of the month he was having major sleeping issues. He HATED sleep and would fight it so hard! It took us over an hour to put him down to sleep every time. It was so frustrating! But, it was super weird because we went to Lake Powell, which he did really well at sleeping (mostly because he was so exhausted from playing all day long.) Since we have been home, he has been sleeping like a champ. Goes to sleep all by himself. He even will crawl to me and point to his bottle and lets me know he is ready for a nap. Also, at night he has started skipping his 5am eating habit and sleeping til 8am! 13 hours! It's been heavenly. I'm thankful for Lake Powell's magic.
Jenson truly has made this passed year the best. I'm so excited for the future to see him continue to grow and learn.
