Being the Borquez's: 30 Week "Logee" Checkup/ Pregnancy Comparisons

I go for my OB check ups every two weeks now. Time is really starting to fly. Baby Logan or as Ka-el says "Logee" looks great! He's measuring just barely over 30 weeks. I asked Dr. Musgrove if there was a difference in the size of this baby since Kal-el always measured a good 4 weeks or more ahead. He told me that I was carrying VERY low (which has been pretty obvious to me and my bladder lately) and that the measuring system is an art not a science. It was explained to me that a baby will usually sit further down in the uterus because it's more roomy the second time around. This can throw off a measurement from the outside especially as low as Logan is. He said he doesn't expect Logan to be any smaller than his big brother and possibly even bigger! He said he wanted to do an ultrasound around 37 weeks to check his size and make sure he's not running out of room. We will be having our 4d ultrasound done before this (32 or 33 weeks) so we may get an idea of his growth rate at that time. Kal-el and Mimsy joined me for the visit. I must brag on Super a little and share the fact that he was a good boy for this appointment. Yay Super! I hope he can keep this up. I would love for him to be able to see "Logee" during the 4D.
I feel the need for documentation purposes to share some of the differences in this pregnancy and my last one so here goes :
Cravings : I love love CHERRY flavor this last trimester. I normally don't even like cherries. I am also WILD about little Krystal burgers. My poor baby is subject to this nutritional meal often. I still also love egg sandwiches just not as much I did during my first trimester. I also crave grape kool aid..yummy. With Kal-el I only wanted pop tarts and WHOLE milk!

Smells: I swear I'm like a wolf during pregnancy..I can smell things from what smells like miles away..literally. With both pregnancies I've been super sensitive to the smell of ANYTHING burning. This time around I can NOT stop smelling Gain washing powder. I feel like a drug addict ..its pitiful..I literally can't stop! lol

Feelings : I will have to say that I'm a good bit more anxiety prone this go round. Those of you around me on a daily basis are probably laughing really hard right now at the truth in this statement. What can I say I'm a Mommy that now has two sweet little people to worry about now...mix that with hormones and wah-lah!

General Health : I feel much better physically this time around then last. I have not had the blood pressure problems to contend with and I'm so so thankful. Since Logan is so low my lungs have had a nice break and I haven't had to deal with the heartburn symptoms nearly as much. I have also managed to gain less weight than last time which I think has helped me to feel better.

Apperance : I look very pregnant now that I've hit the last trimester. Since I have a toddler to chase I'm very regrettably incorporating yellow box sandles with my existing heels. I refuse to give them up all the way. If you know me you know this small transition kills my soul. :) At the risk of sounding crude or common I must say that my boobs are out of control and I'm not happy about it. At the rate I'm going I'll be in an E cup by the time I deliver. I'm so NOT thrilled about this. As stated early Logan is sitting much lower than Kal-el.

And lastly, the biggest difference with this pregnancy is the fact that I'm already a mommy this time. I had no idea how much I'd love the little life that was growing in me nor how much I would enjoy all the different mile stones and developmental stages. Now I most certainly know all the love, joy, and excitement I'll get to experience for the second time. I also am prepared for the challenging newborn sleepless nights phase. It won't all be a surprise this time and I can't wait to experience brothers! :-)
