20 Week Update!!

Yeah yeah so I missed last week...oh well :) 

How far along: The big 20!! Half way to a full term baby!! I swear everyone I know has the slowest pregnancy's but mine are in fast forward :)  

Total weight gain: Not sure, but I don't feel heavier and everything still fits the same.

Baby Names: We have no boy names picked yet but for girl we both like Katie :) 

Sleep: Doing great on sleep now that James is not sick. I still have to get up to pee but otherwise good.  

Best moment of this week: Steve took a day off! We did nothing and it was great. I sure miss him being around (works two jobs now). 

Miss anything: Sweets. I have cut most out in attempts to keep gestational diabetes at bay this pregnancy. 

Movement:  Yes yes yes!!! When I am not chasing my toddler or busy around the house the baby is now making itself know and I love it.  

Food cravings: Oranges, grapes and chocolate milk :) 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope, I'm great!

 

Gender: Don't know. Tech was unable to get a good view. 

Labor signs: No No NO!

Belly button in or out: In as ever.          

Wedding rings on or off:  On and almost every day (means I got dressed that day).

Happy or moody most of the time: I have been good. Normal emotions lately, thank goodness. 

Looking forward to: Switching back the doctor that watched over us during my last pregnancy. 

Photo of the day is James trying grapes for the first time... 

Bye for now friends!! 

18 Week Update!!

How far along: 18 weeks baby!! 

Total weight gain: No change :)   

Maternity clothes: I need to change this question...The answer is yes and will be for a while.  

Sleep: Trouble falling back asleep and lately my mind goes to sad and dark places relating to my Dad. Like the day he died :( Keeps me up and crying most early mornings. 

Best moment of this week: Not sure...this week had bee off...I have had a lot on my mind with my sleep troubles and some issues with the baby that I will tell you all about tomorrow. 

Miss anything: Ummm pregnancy related...sweet stuff. My teeth get super sensitive during pregnancy and so many things send me into tooth pain. 

Movement:  Nopers. But today my Midwife could hear it through the doppler thing. 

Food cravings: Fruit and cold stuff still! 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing. Amen. 

Have you started to show yet: YES! This is another question to change because once you pop you cant stop :) 

Gender: Tomorrow is the big day. To know or not to know...Still thinking of having them write it down so if I want to know I can peek :)

Labor signs: No No NO!

Belly button in or out: Totally in.                

Wedding rings on or off:  Yes. Had a few days it was tight but if I watch my water they slip right on and off.  

Happy or moody most of the time: Emotional! Everything make s me cry, happy and sad. Today I got sad because Ethan our pre-teen has a friend spending the night and I felt bad for baby James because his brother wasn't playing with him. 

Looking forward to: Tomorrow. Right now I can't see past it. 

Photo of the day is my sweet baby waiting so good for the Midwife today :) 

Bye for now friends!! 

My James

17 Week Update!!

How far along: 17 weeks baby!! 

Total weight gain: No change :)   

Maternity clothes: For sure :) 

Sleep: Still having trouble falling back asleep once woken up and that's usually to pee. 

Best moment of this week: Hands down 4th of July! Though Steve was working we still enjoyed the day with family at Wekiva Falls!! We cooked hamburgers on the grill and spent lots of time in the water (in between rain showers). Only bummer of the day was I only took one photo, for the record it was a great photo at least. 

Miss anything: Would have been nice to have a glass of wine on the 4th :) 

Movement:  Still no :( I have begun to beg the baby every night with no luck.  

Food cravings: Fruit and frutie things.     

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing. Amen. 

Have you started to show yet: For sure!! People notice now and I love it. 

Gender: I am sure now that I do want to know but I don't know when. Not sure if I want to know at the ultrasound or have the tech write it down for me to look at some day closer to delivery. 

Labor signs: No No NO!

Belly button in or out: Totally in.                

Wedding rings on or off:  On everyday this past week.    

Happy or moody most of the time: Still emotional though I have done well to hide my tears from everyone. When I cry around James he laughs at me...I love him!

Looking forward to: Now don't go feeling bad for me when I say this but nothing. I have no plans yet for the week other than Midwife visit next Wednesday. 

Bye for now friends!!

16 Week Update

How far along: 16 weeks baby!! 

Total weight gain: No change :)   

Maternity clothes: You bet ch!! 

Sleep: Not really...I wake at the littlest things and than can't fall back asleep.  

Best moment of this week: Spent Sunday afternoon wit some friends. Our kids all played along great and we went swimming and had pizza! 

Miss anything: Nothing pregnancy related...just my husband. He as been working a ton lately to provide for all of us which I am so so great full for but sometimes I just really want him here.  

Movement:  Not yet :(   

Food cravings: This week it has been still super cold things like my popsicles.    

Anything making you queasy or sick: Still nothing here.  

Have you started to show yet: I think people will start noticing soon because I sure do. 

Gender: Still not going to know...at least not telling anyone. I am still on the fence if I want to also wait or find out early. I really think it will help me to bond and feel more connected because I am so busy with Ethan and Jimmy that I sometimes forget I am with child. 

Labor signs: Lord no! 

Belly button in or out: Still in :)                       

Wedding rings on or off:  When I do get out of the house I can still easily slip them on.   

Happy or moody most of the time: This week I have been emotional. I think because I miss my hubby and want his help here at home.  

Looking forward to: Tomorrow!!! The 4th of July :) and it also happens to be Jimmys half birthday and my totally fav holiday!
