Size of baby: She’s the size of a butternut squash, according to the Ovia Pregnancy app on my phone.

Feeling: Okayish. Prenatal yoga has been helping to stretch out my achy parts, but at the same time, I haven’t done any kind of stretching in SO long that really, it’s making me sore in other places too. The other day I tried to convince Kyle to rip my legs off because my hip joints were hurting so bad. (He declined.) Other than that, I’ve been feeling pretty good.

Craving: Pi Day made me want pie, so on Monday I decided to whip up an apple pie. SO GOOD. I’ve also had a big craving for Vietnamese spring rolls, and was pretty sad that the place downtown where I used to get them at all the time was all out. Serves me right for stopping there after lunch. The hunt continues …

Other: I got the requisition for my glucose test at my prenatal appointment on Monday, so I’ll be doing that on Friday when Kyle’s home to watch Isla for the hour or so that I’ll be gone doing that. My regular doctor was away, so he had a locum filling in for him, and when the locum asked if I had my “sugar test” done yet and I told him no, he said to me, “Bad girl!” Umm … not my fault? Then when I asked him about what allergy pills were safe to take, he said he wasn’t 100% sure and that he’d look it up. I figured he’d bust out a medical dictionary or something but noooooope – he hopped on the computer and WebMD’d it. WHAT? Needless to say, I’m just going to hold off taking any pills until I either A) See my regular doctor again, or B) Ask a pharmacist. Ugh.

We’ve also decided on a middle name, so the baby officially will have a name when she arrives. Although the other night I had a dream that I gave birth to a boy when I was told it was a girl, haha. We have boy names picked out too, so you never know! Crazier things have happened. Isla would be happy if we named her baby sister “Ketchup” though. ;)

Size of baby: About the size of a garden eggplant, according to the Ovia pregnancy app.

Feeling: I’ve been feeling kind of gross lately (i.e., gassy), and I’m just going to blame it on Baby Girl growing and shoving my insides around to accommodate herself. I’ve also been fighting a bit of a cold that I caught from Isla, so really, I’ve been a hot mess.

Craving: Orange juice and hummus. I satisfied the OJ craving with some clementines, and bought hummus at the store the other day and have been eating it with anything that’s dippable as a snack.

Other: We’re also pretty certain on the baby’s name! Kyle and I are still trying to decide on a middle name, but the first name is more or less a sure thing :) Like with Isla, we’re not telling anyone what the name is until she’s born, but you can have fun guessing if you want! I also start prenatal yoga tomorrow, so I’m really looking forward to that!

Size of baby: Baby is now the size of a cob of corn, according to my lovely pregnancy app. Really, I’m not sure where they get these measurements from, because in my world of mammoth produce, corn ears can get pretty big. Anyway, baby is a-growin’!

Feeling: Slightly more energetic, and I think it has a lot to do with the change in weather. While it poured rain last Friday night, we’ve been lucky to have mostly sunny days since then. I’m really enjoying the Vitamin D, to say the least! I won’t go so far to say that spring is on its way, but it certainly is nice to see the sun out.

Craving: Spaghetti. I make it quite often but it’s been a couple weeks and I’ve had a hankering. I’m thinking that’s what’s on the menu for dinner tonight ;)

Other: Of course, I can’t write this post and not mention my ultrasound appointment last week! Everything went great, despite me trying to sneak in a bathroom break because the clinic was running late, only to be called upon 2 minutes later. Luckily they take photos with an empty bladder as well, so the tech did those ones while she waited for my bladder to fill up. And while Kyle had to work, my mom and Isla got to come into the room and see the baby on the screen. Isla thought it was pretty amazing – her eyes were HUGE while she watched the screen and said “how cute” the baby was. My mom never had an ultrasound when she was pregnant with me or my brother, so she thought it was pretty amazing as well.

Oh, and we DID find out if Baby #2 is a boy or girl! I was able to get the results from my doctor’s office on Thursday, so I hightailed it to the baker before I got too tempted to open the envelope! I picked up the cupcakes for the gender reveal party Friday after work, and our family came over for dinner and to help us find out!

We gave Isla the honours of eating the first cupcake, and I got it on video. So, if you want to know if it’s a boy or girl, you’ll just have to watch and see! (Unless, of course, you have me on Facebook or Instagram.)

Isla really put on the suspense for us! You’d think a 2.5-year old would be more into destroying a cupcake, but she treated it like a delicate little flower, haha.

While we were both convinced it was a boy, we couldn’t be happier that we’re having another girl! Kyle’s going to have his hands full in the future, that’s for sure ;)
