First Trimester

3rd Trimester

2nd Trimester
My mom said that her second trimester went by very quick. She would feel me kick all the time, especially when she was talking. One thing that she remembered was when my nana would talk or touch her belly I would go crazy in her belly. This was also when a lot of her cravings kicked in, she craved a lot of spicy food when she was pregnant with me. This was also when she was told I was going to be a boy. -
