Bumpdate – Week 12 to 15: Holy Second Trimester!

Hello second trimester!

Wow – we are officially into week 15! You are the size of a navel orange which sounds so so big!!! It is so neat to watch you grow. We have a fetal doppler at home and are able to listen to your heartbeat now whenever we’d like. Hearing your heartbeat is probably the best feeling in the world.

Health –

I feel so good, honestly better than I did pre-pregnancy. I love everything about this. The only symptoms I still have are the heartburn and indigestion – I had to start taking Zantac because Tum’s just weren’t cutting it for me. Thanks to Zantac I can eat plenty and make sure you are getting all the nutrients possible. Before I started I would be full by dinner time and unable to eat. Now, I am able to eat dinner and catch up on the extra veggies! Your heart rate is always fluctuating but today it was 149. Mama is doing good, although the doctor mention my thyroid levels might be off. I’ll need to see a specialist for that but better me than you! I know thyroid issues are very common during pregnancy and just grateful you are still as healthy as ever. Keep it up! Sadly I did get a cold week 12 like I suspected. That is the same week I did my blood work so doctor said that could be the reason for the weird thyroid level too! I took a couple days from work but luckily it passed quickly. Just a stuffy nose really that I couldn’t seem to get rid of. I’ll take it!

Emotions –

Still feeling happier than ever. We are awaiting to announce you on social media because there is still some family and friends we’d like to tell before making it public knowledge. We can’t wait. We already took our announcement photo. Dad is feeling great too and is getting more and more excited each day.

Currently Loving –

  • Bloat is slowly disappearing and my lower tummy is starting to harden where you are floating about.
  • Any kind of bread, biscuits, pancakes – CARB HAPPY
  • Grapes – I have been alternating between fridge and freezer for a fun snack
  • Mints and gum
  • All the water

Looking Forward –

  • Getting a “bump”
  • Maternity pants
  • Buying nursery decor
  • Baby shower planning

That is all for now; until next time!

XOXOX – Tiffany
