16 weeks

Nope. You will not see any profile belly shots until I am huge. Baby #2 is showing in ways that I'm still struggling to accept. I put on a pair of full panel pants the other night and damn they were comfortable. (Granted, it was after a huge meal of Mexican food.) I didn't wear them though. I'm only 16 weeks goddammit! I can't wear full panel pants until, like, 7 months or something. That's how it was with Copper. I look like I'm 5 months pregnant. I've gained about 9 pounds, but it looks more like 20. Everyone tells me that your tummy just pops right out with #2 and they're not joking. Such a weird phenomenon. At least the "chubby" phase is shorter since there's an obvious baby bump showing already. My sucked dry, pancake, barely A cup boobs are now up to a B cup! That's kind of exciting. I thought they were gone forever. I'm still pretty tired at night. I remember being super lazy and tired in the 1st trimester with Copper, but it seemed as soon as the 2nd trimester started I had all my energy back and could stay up late-ish again. Not this time. I'm still tired. In bed every night before 10 completely exhausted. I am going for another puke-free pregnancy. So far so good. I still feel a little sickish when I get hungry, but not really nauseous. That's a bit different from #1 where I would feel really nauseous when hungry. I'm trying to schedule my ultrasound for April 12th at 21 weeks (it will be the same day as an appointment). That will be the big day when we find out what we're having. Aubrey really wants a boy, but I actually feel kind of indifferent. Another girl could be fun to have the whole sister thing going, but a boy would be nice too. We'll just have to wait and see.
