32 Week Update...

How far along:  32 Weeks (and feeling HUGE)!

Baby Size: A large Jicama (whatever that is…?)

Total Weight Gain/Loss:  Ha, I wish it was a loss…more like +18 lbs 

Maternity Clothes:  Yes

Stretch Marks:  Still in the clear!

Sleep:  Becoming less and less…waking up more often just because I’m uncomfortable.

Best Moment this Week:  Watching Rowen at her first swimming lesson!  (Side note: Being in the pool is a great workout while preggo!)

Miss Anything:  Sticking with the same…running!

Movement:  All the time!

Food Cravings:  Not really, but all this Easter Candy we have is tempting!

Gender:  Boy

Looking forward to:  Hanging some décor in the baby’s room and buying a double jogging stroller!

Difference this time around:  Still feeling bigger than I did with Rowen, but not nearly as uncomfortable with this one as I was with her…hoping that means no pre-eclampsia this time around!

Back tomorrow with a sneak peek into Rowen's Easter basket! Have a good night!

28 Week Update

As promised in yesterday's post, here is my most recent baby update.

How far along? 28 Weeks

Baby Size: A large eggplant

Total weight gain/loss: Ugh, no clue, but these damn Girl Scout cookies aren't helping. 

Maternity clothes? Yes.  Gotta buy some more spring stuff!

Stretch marks? Nope, but my skin is stretching so much that it feels like it's burning --- VERY uncomfortable!

Sleep: 9 hours straight every night...loving it!

Best moment this week: Going out of town this weekend...excited for a little getaway!

Miss Anything? I miss regular clothes!  

Movement: Yes!

Food cravings: Sweets...trying my best to stay away!

Gender prediction: It's a BOY!

Looking forward to: This whole thing being over...I hate being pregnant!

Differences this time around: Unlike with Rowen, we really don't need to buy much for this baby other than clothes, which is really nice - we have almost everything we need!

23 Week Update

How far along? 23 Weeks

Baby Size: A large mango

Total weight gain/loss: Ugh, probably close to 10lbs 

Maternity clothes? Yes, I live in these leggings and yes, leggings are considered pants when you're pregnant.

Stretch marks? Nope!

Sleep: Still good! 

Best moment this week: Going to IKEA and picking up a few things for the nursery!

Miss Anything? Running...I miss it soooo bad!  I cannot wait to start again the first chance I get!

Movement: Yes!

Food cravings: None - I'm lucky if I even have an appetite most days.  I mostly eat cereal and muffins, HA!

Gender prediction: It's a BOY!

Looking forward to: Picking a name for this little guy...we have our top three, just have to make a final decision!

Differences this time around: I feel like this baby is going to be MUCH bigger than Rowen was, which scares me!  Eeek!

18 Week Update

So in lieu of meal plan Monday this week (we aren't really planning anything due to all of the holiday madness) I thought i'd bring you my first "bumpdate".  

Before I do though, I'd like to start by saying that I hate being pregnant.  The first time around literally almost killed me (pre-eclampsia) and so far this second time around has been anything but glamorous due to headaches and morning sickness that just wont quit. No offence to all of you ladies out there who "love(ed)" being pregnant...but you are crazy! There is nothing fun about this. Period.

Anyway...trying to make the best of it considering I am not even half way through yet so here goes...

How far along? 18 Weeks

Baby Size: A bell pepper

Total weight gain/loss: 4-5 lbs 

Maternity clothes? Slowly but surely digging it all back out.  Had to buy some new stuff since most of my other clothes were for the summer months.

Stretch marks? Nope!

Sleep: I sleep well no matter what!  Luckily, never in my life have I ever had a sleeping problem so I refuse to start!

Best moment this week: It’s almost Christmas – excited to celebrate with family!

Miss Anything? Festive holiday drinks that I can’t have.

Movement: Yes, little flutters

Food cravings: None.  Still feel sick most of the time and don’t really have much of an appetite.

Gender prediction: Seriously no clue.  Last time around I was 99% sure I was having a boy and it turned out to be a girl, so I am just steering clear of all guesses.

Looking forward to: Finding out the gender in a couple of weeks!

Differences this time around: This bump is growing a lot faster than the first time!
