^^And this is what you get when you’re too lazy to get out the tripod… or put on a shirt, apparently.^^ Before you get too excited, we are still only 38 weeks but this was my original due date that I was not so secretly hoping would reveal itself as the actual due date ;) But really, this pregnancy has gone by so fast, I’m happy this little one has made itself comfy in there. […]
Three things: 1) We made it! We can officially have our baby at home now! It was touch and go for a while there ;) BUT it really cemented in my mind how much I really don’t want to go to the hospital. So YAY! happy day. 2) I feel like when I first got pregnant with Abbie, 37 weeks was the standard full term… and then by the time we had her it was […]
How far along? 32 Weeks Weight Gained: 31 lbs …it’s really hard to type that without commenting in some sort of HOLY way Symptoms: Let’s just go through what I can’t wait to be done with in a couple of months: sneezing and staying dry. having a brain that works efficiently. having some form of energy. not having to dress an egg shaped body every day. overall not feeling huge. not dreading bathing suit season. these sorts of […]
How far along? 28 weeks although midwife now thinks 30… oh this is exciting, isn’t it? Weight Gained: My scale said I weigh 122lbs heheheh I’m the skinniest pregnant woman of all time! And then I went to my prenatal appointment which corrected my broken machine to reflect that no no, you’ve gained 29 pounds. Holy my. Symptoms: Pregnancy symptoms are embarrassing. Movement: This one is the most active little thing – especially in the middle of the […]
How far along? 24ish weeks – last time I went to my midwife she was convinced we were farther along so 24-26ish weeks ;) This should make for some interesting betting when the time comes… Weight Gained: 21 lbs. boom. Symptoms: I have so much to do but I’ve been using Abbie’s second nap to take my own MUHAHAH and it is so lovely. A couple weeks ago I had the fun sensation of feeling empty yet […]
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! Happy Halfway! Happy all happy things day! I just love today. Isn’t green just the happiest color? Unfortunately I can’t seem to find any of my old green clothes so we had to settle for army green which you know, is a little more communist and a little less HAPPIEST OF HOLIDAYS but you know, we work with what we’ve got. Abbie can make up for it in all her adorable […]
Because Greg said my crappy mirror pictures were no good. As shown below. Yes dear, your sister got the big camera and you get this. You’re welcome. OK i’ll try to make more of an effort to 1) bathe and 2) document this little one better than that ^^ because that ^^ is just sad. I mean, my eye. Oh you didn’t notice? Never mind then. Hey! remember this? I probably can’t do it every […]
I got to feel you kick last night and it was just as magical as I remember. Thanks for that, baby. You’ve been such a little joy in there not making momma uncomfortable at all, that I worry if you are real sometimes. Your sister has been continuing with the many kisses and practicing with her baby dolls. She sure loves those dollies.. you’re gunna be like a dream come true when she finally gets […]
Oh baby, I’m sorry I haven’t documented your progress as much as your sister. You are welcome to give me all the guilt for the rest of your life, as is the right of the second child. Believe me, I know. You are somewhere between 13 and 15 weeks (and one day if we are really getting technical) and have made this pregnancy a breeze so far except YOU ARE MAKING MY HAIR SO OILY! I am […]
Little things I want to remember about precious baby #2! On the day I found out you were coming, I was sitting in church listening to a sermon on “Change of Plans.” Ha! I thought. This year has been a change of plans… mostly I was thinking how it looked like I wouldn’t be able to get pregnant again for a while and coming from a lady that has always wanted to have her kids […]
