How far along? 32 weeks Weight Gained: 23 lbs Symptoms: Well, I cry a lot, but that’s nothing new. Small hills or sometimes just sitting up leaves me completely out of breath. In fact, I just sat up and Greg said, “well those were a lot of noises…” I’m a grunting, huffing, lady of grace these days. Movement: I was sure she was gone this week cause all her little kicks seemed to disappear :( I must say I […]
How far along? 31 weeks! If we are pretending, as all baby sites do, that a baby takes exactly 40 weeks to develop, we have now reached single digits, folks! Weight Gained: 22.5 lbs… well going down is a first. Symptoms: It seems all my first trimester symptoms seem to be saying hello again. They must’ve missed me! Still super tired all the time, slightly nauseous, everything smells oh so strong, these boobs of mine have earned their right […]
How far along? 30 weeks!!! Weight Gained: I’m gunna go with 23.5 lbs Symptoms: So. Very. Tired. All the time. I’m really starting to wonder if I ever had energy in my life. And if I ever could get through a day without tearing up over something. What am I becoming?!? Movement: She seems to be hanging out in the same position lately with lots of little adjustment movements (Think more stretching, less kicking :) I think she’s getting cramped […]
How far along? 29 weeks Weight Gained: 22.5 lbs Symptoms: Sciatica!!! It usually comes and goes but last weekend, it stayed and I turned into an old old OLD woman. Greg had to help me out of cars and each thing. I was a fun date. As embarrassing as that is, it kinda makes me oh so excited that I get to grow old with that guy :) :) Movement: Lots of hiccups this week. Have I mentioned […]
Oh how I don’t look forward to birthdays anymore. But this birthday was special because my whole family surprised me and took the day off work to come celebrate! My sister even came into town and each thing! So, now I’m 27 and trying desperately hard to drop the voice that sounds like a three year old – I am going to be a mother soon, right? It’s time. We spent the whole day in Carmel, ate […]
What do you do when you wake up for hours and hours yet another night in a row for no darn good reason? That’s right. You dream of happier times! Like this glorious weekend! Oh my golly was it gorgeous! And!!! AND!!! there were lots of dates which I’m always a fan of. We haven’t had a date night in the longest time so that was awful nice. Greg got a lot of verbal vomit from this […]
Okay baby site people. This girl was the size of an eggplant two weeks ago. Are we running out of food items here? Also, I told everyone I could that I was in my third trimester last week but then I read lots of people only count it at 28 weeks so now IT’S OFFICIAL. We are on the homestretch!!!! Also, I’ve been saying “on homestretch” for as long as I can remember and Greg just […]
How far along? 27 weeks Weight Gained: 19.5 lbs still…. actually if I was being honest, it’d be 19.6 Symptoms: Got my first case of the good ol leg cramps! Those woke me up : ) And are plugged ears a symptom? I’ve been getting those a lot too. Only hearing your own voice is just so much fun. Movement: She’s certainly making up for her lack of movement last week. Oh my, she must be excited about […]
How far along? 26 weeks Weight Gained: This is less exciting and more embarrassing these days. 19.5 lbs Symptoms: Same ol same ol. Fall down sleepy all the time again… Movement: She seems to be slowing down a bit :/ Food cravings: Chocolate chocolate chocolate. And watery fruit. I found some m&m’s in a drawer at my parents house and man, they were ripped open and devoured before I even allowed myself to entertain the thought that they were not mine […]
So here is the little shack my husband took me to celebrate our last mini vacation as just the two of us for, probably, forever. It was glorious. We got there early so we could take advantage of that pool from heaven and smartly left our sunscreen in our bags going to the room. We now strongly resemble lobsters. But there were pina coladas and burgers and each wonderful thing! And then after getting […]
