Second Trimester Woes

Well, all my excitedness of only gaining 5 pounds for the first 18 weeks of this pregnancy are officially gone.  Because then I gained 10 in 4.  Impressive.  Seriously, I think the second trimester is my worst for weight gain.  It was true with Lynnaea and it's true with this little munchkin.

Who likes to get active in the early morning, by the way...  This baby is very mobile around the time Jeremy gets up in the morning.  And now that he's back on day shift, that's around 4:30.  Yuck!

So anyway, that's my biggest complaint.  I had an appointment today.  22 weeks and 2 days.  Here is my most recent belly picture (taken right before I went to bed, so excuse the tired look...)

But aside from being fat...  everything is good.  Baby's heartbeat was 151 today.  Baby is currently kicking as I type.  Or doing something in there ;).  My next appointment will follow the delicious glucose test.  Yippy skippy! 

I do have to say this pregnancy is zooming by.  Apparently this is what happens when you have a little one to keep up with!  The doctor said basically that same thing today as I was telling her (after she asked) that all is going well, I'm just tired a lot.  But I think that's mainly because I have an almost-two year old to keep after all day.  And she has a ton of energy!  When I was pregnant with Lynnaea, I couldn't wait for each week when I would read my pregnancy books and see what was happening that week -- what milestones my baby was reaching.  This pregnancy is so different.  I think I've looked at the books twice!  The time just isn't there for me to look at them so religiously.  And it's not that this baby is any less loved or important.  Just that real life with a toddler means you have less time.  It's just interesting.  Plus, I suppose it's also part of it that I have been through this before and so I have less questions. 

Anyway...

Jeremy just loves when I take random pictures of him.  And loves it even more when I post them.  But seriously, this was so cute...  So Jeremy was in playing with Lynnaea this evening so I could get dinner done.  He laid down on the floor while playing.  So I happened to peek in there, and she had laid down and was putting the blocks on her tummy.  It was the cutest thing.  She really is a little copy-cat.  She loves to do what we do.  Which includes helping me with my tweezers...

And, of course, once she sees me with the camera, she wants a picture taken.  So we take one ;).  She intentionally put her fingers to her face for the picture.  Not sure what's up with that.  Silly little bug ;).

And a lady at church made these pioneer bonnets for my mom from when they were in Primary together.  So Lynnaea and I tried them on.  Cute huh ;)?  I love this little girl.  She makes me laugh.

And lastly... 

So, I've never watched The Tonight Show, really.  I mean, I'm sure I've seen a few episodes here and there.  Or at least snippets of it.  But the more clips I see floating around facebook, now that Jimmy Fallon is the host, the more I think I'd like it.  And so I'd probably watch it if we had tv.  (We have a TV, but we don't have any channels that come in.)  And this is the one that came across my facebook feed today (seriously, if you're at all interested in 90s teen sitcoms, you need to watch this :)).  I sure do love a good blast from the past!

Seriously, I've loved Jimmy Fallon since his Saturday Night Live days.  He was one of my favorites.  So it's not surprising to me that he has done awesome things with his new gig at The Tonight Show :).
