Week 26/27

 

Total weight gain: 13 lbs

Maternity clothes: I started wearing a belly band sometimes with my jeans. No maternity clothes yet just lose shirts and low waisted bottoms. 

Sleep: Still getting good sleep, although last night no, I think it was due to doughnuts before bed. 

Best moment of this week: Seeing my belly bump start to show, eating KrispieCream doughnuts, going on a 6 mile walk with my mom and watching Angel games with Cam. 

Miss anything: It may be gross but pooping regularly and normal digestion.

Movement: About the same morning and evening maybe a little more throughout the day.

Food cravings: it's spur of the moment things, like KrispieCream doughnuts last night and  pop tarts and milk last week. Maybe waffles all the time but I haven't been getting them. Cam made pancake waffles last Monday for breakfast. I have been really wanting some homemade. Made on a waffle iron. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: nope!

Have you started to show yet: Yep, finally a little!

Belly button in or out: It's not a deep.

Wedding rings on or off: On, no problem. 

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy but a little tired.

Looking forward to: Easter and all the excitement were doing at the church for it. Good Friday service and kid stuff Saturday. Sunrise service Sunday and our normal service after. Then family and going to visit my dad's side. 

Mid week story

So it's about my Long term sub position in kindergarten. I am loving it, every second even being tired from it, it is only half day. So today I broke the news to them. That I'm going to have a baby! It started after a boy in class shared the news of his moms baby shower happening  this weekend. So after I told them the look on some of their faces was priceless; confused, disgusted, questioning my teacher can't have a baby. It was too funny. Can't wait to see the things they say about my growing belly. I will try to share the funny ones.

24/25 weeks

How far along: 25 weeks 

Total weight gain: gained 12 lbs from my first weight loss, 10 lbs from my original weight

Maternity clothes: Not yet, holding off as long as possible, just pushing my pants down below my belly. 

Stretch marks: Nope putting cocoa butter on every day. 

Sleep: Good, I am starting to get hot and sweaty at night though despite that it was raining last night. Also having a hard time falling back asleep when daddy gets home. 

Best moment of this week: Getting the nursery painted, crib up and crafts started. Italian date night on Sunday, daddy made delicious pasta and we had cookies and cream popcorn for dessert. Also seeing how big you are getting at the ultrasound. 

Miss anything: drinking beer at baseball games, so hard when everyone around you is!

Movement: Not too much but enough to know your ok.

Food cravings: Not really, heart burn has started but maybe it was a combination of the Glucose test , not eating something substantial then eating pizza late. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: not really

Have you started to show yet: Yes but still not enough for most people, everyone keeps asking when I'm going to show!

Wedding rings on or off: On, fitting fine.

Happy or moody most of the time: Both but more happy. The moodiness of the last couple weeks is wearing off! 

Looking forward to: My long-term sub job, Easter and continuing with nursery stuff. 

Week 21- 23

We'll I have not been updating and focused on pregnancy updates, I should because I am not doing a book or anything.

Total weight gain: gained 8 pounds

Maternity clothes: Not yet, just loser shirts because I just look fat. I did have to go out and buy bigger bras.

Sleep: through the night luckily but I am starting to get uncomfortable, tossing and turning more.

Best moment of  last week; celebrating st Patricks day with corn beef and cabbage and my favorite Irish soda bread. This week; Starting the nursery, shopping at hobby lobby for curtains and bumpers fabric. 

Miss anything: beer (wanted green beer for St Patricks day) and sangria. My hormones being stable.

Movement: yes at certain times during the day, mostly morning and night. Cam even got to feel her a little Tuesday night while we were watching The Voice.

Food cravings: Cookies as always. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: not really but I did throw up for the very first time last night, it was weird. I have been fine since. Might have been the cereal I pigged out on for lunch. 

Have you started to show yet: I guess so since a kindergartener asked me" are you having a baby" I had to ask how she knew and she said " I can tell" I was wearing this shirt months early before I was pregnant and a fourth grade boy said the shirt was a pregnancy shirt. I did not wear that shirt since.

A little get-away Arizona spring training

So it has become a tradition going to Arizona for spring training in March. It is a fun get away, beautiful weather and lots of baseball.
We drove out there Saturday morning and got there just in time for an Angel game. We had amazing seats.

So much fun and good times with my brother and dad. We even meet some friends out there and hung out a bit. Couldn't have asked for a better, more relaxing vacation.

Week 19/20

Life is busy...can't imagine it is going to be even more busy when Paisley Grace arrives.
Still feeling fine.
Cravings are for all kinds of junk food. It is hard to go to the store without getting a snack. 😁 French fries and cookies my two biggest ones!
Still not too big of a bump but it is growing.
Highlight: going for the detailed sonogram. I just love seeing my baby. Got to see her arms and legs, so beautiful. She was in a funny position!
Sadly I had to go by myself because we missed the appointment. My pregnant mind thought it was thirty minutes later than it was : ( luckily there was a cancelation later that day! So I went by myself while Cam went to work. A horrible day at work because he was hurt. Thankfully not terribly like he should have been. So Cam was in the back of a truck on a forklift going to back it out when a stupid guy didn't follow safety protocol started pulling the trailer away from the dock. Yes at the same time so Cam fell out of the back of the truck on a forklift. Luckily nothing was on the forklift and he followed safety measures grabbing the steering wheel so he was not injured badly. He did go to the doctor and they did X-rays finding deep tissue bruising in back, neck and hips and bone bruising in his hip. They gave him lots of exercises and medicine. And put him on light duty for two weeks. This is hard for him because he enjoys his job and being active with softball. We are so thankful God protected him in this situation!
So life has been busy and I have not been taking belly pictures.

Week 17/18

Week 17/18

I finally decided to start taking weekly pictures to see progress of my growing belly. Hopefully I can keep it up. I will post them as a collage later.
Some friends have started noticing my little bump but it is still not that big.
I have been feeling fine, wondering if I'm still pregnant because the tiredness has subsided. I have been fighting a little cold which has been annoying; causing me to want to sleep more.
My appetite has increased and desire for sweets has arrived. And I thought I would make it through the pregnancy without wanting sweets, I was dreaming! Cookies are my biggest weakness, especially since Girl Scout cookies are out and a new delicious type of Oreo, cookie dough filling. I've been a little more emotional lately too. Oh, and maybe more "stomach aches" usually at night after eating a big meal. Ok so maybe the pregnancy signs are still there.
We cannot wait to start working not he nursery. Our roommate is moving out in march and can start then.
