As you move into the second trimester, baby shifts into the growth and maturation stage. After weeks in the critical development stage, almost all of baby's systems are fully formed.

My Aching Back

I will post this a thousand times between now and the time this baby gets here: my back is killing me. I remember clearly now how bad my back hurt with Vincent. The only time its not hurting is when im sitting and mostly when I'm laying down. Pillows everywhere, and I'm only going to get bigger. 

Aunts & Hats

I love baby hats, especially caps, like beanies, or sock hats. I'm a sucker when it comes to baby hats, i want them all. Vincent was born at the end of  May also know to floridians as  the middle of summer, so i didn'tget to buy many hats until that winter,  but i bought them, alot of them and he wore them all. Luckily i have a gifted Aunt who crochets very well and Ive asked her to make me a few. I'm actually really excited, this is the first thing Ive asked someone to make the baby, or even the first thing Ive thought about for the baby. When i find out if its a girl or boy im going to go pick out my yarn that day. I really cant wait. I'm going chose the yarn for the hat i want him/her to wear special for the hospital. If  its a boy ill  probably choose a brownish green yarn, if its a girl probably a royal purple color.

Pregnant Belly, For real

My stomach is looking pregnant these days, my body looks pregnant. It took forever the first time to get a pregnant belly. I know you are supposed to show sooner with your second child, but my god. I look now like i did when i was 16 wks pregnant with Vincent. I mean, I'm not complaining i love the baby belly its my favorite, but its going to get bigger.

High risk or not

I go back to the doctors soon to find out if I'm high risk or not. I don't know what to think. I'm kinda hoping i am, that way they monitor me and the baby better. I really don't want to have preterm labor again id like to avoid it as long as the baby stays safe.  And if i my body gives me no choice but to go into labor early id like to know, and id i like the doctors to be aware this time, so they can do what they need to to maybe speed up lung maturity and make it as easy for baby as possible.
