Pregnancy Diary: Starting the Second Trimester

Sunday September 1st, 2024

We made it to 14 weeks this week! I think that starts the second trimester?! Baby is now the size of an orange. Sadie loves hearing what the baby’s size is each week. I had an ultrasound done and my mom and Sadie came along and it was so sweet!

Sadie absolutely adored seeing her sister! Baby girl was moving and kicking and even did a headstand?! The ultrasound tech was like “That is one active baby… when you start feeling kicks you are in for it!” haha. Sadie was very similar in utero and I loved it. (more…)

First Prenatal Appointment with Baby #3

August 8th, 2024

I had my first prenatal appointment last week and it went well! As I type up this post, I’m almost 11 weeks along. I don’t have any pregnancy-related pictures, so I’ll just include some life ones in this post so it’s not all text.

If you live in Pittsburgh, the best soft pretzel in the city can be found at…. Sheetz (a gas station!!). No joke 😂 So to sum that up, the baby is 95% soft pretzel, Sheetz has the best ones, and Jimmy is way too good to me. (more…)
