Sweet Sweet Baby Update

I am now out of my first trimester and into my 15th week of pregnancy! Wow, this pregnancy has flown by! I guess it helps when you don't find out your pregnant until almost into your 7th week. The sonographer at first told me that I was 5 weeks along at my first sonogram, but I knew this was not true. Since Arrington measured small the doctor had us do another sonogram at my 11 week appointment... and Momma knew best! Sure enough I was already 11 weeks along at our last doctors appointment. I had been feeling the pregnancy symptoms for a few weeks prior when I had my first sono, which is how I knew I was further along. One of the big symptoms was my lack of breast milk for Arrington. My plan was to breast feed her until she was 12 months old, but  unfortunately I had to quit at 7 months. We had a very good run though ;). It definitely took Arrington a little getting used to formula and I had to trick up her bottles with prune juice to get her to drink it, but now she is drinking bottles like a champ.
 We just got back from our 15 week checkup and everything looks great! I absolutely LOVE hearing our sweet baby's strong heartbeat. I am just starting to show to where it look like a baby belly instead of a pudgy tummy. I have also been feeling the lil peanut move around a bit since around the 13th week. I love feeling those little flutters! I have been more sick with this pregnancy and have actually been sick sick here and there from around 7 weeks on till just around a few days ago. Where, with Arrington that did not happen and I was feeling better by my 12th week. I have also been so exhausted and just plain worn out. It's all worth it though in the end. Welcoming our little one into this world and staring into those sweet baby eyes is a day that will be indescribable and that we are looking forward to! We are so excited for Baby #2! We can't wait to find out if this lil peanut is going to be wearing lots of PINK or BLUE! We would love to hear what you think Baby Hicks will be! I have a poll set up on the top right corner of our page or you can leave a comment!
