40 Weeks Pregnant with Baby #2

How far along? 40 Weeks Pregnant... & DONE!

Total weight gain: 24.5 lbs gained! 159.5 lbs is what officially weighing (clearly that .5 means the world of difference!) this week and I feel like so much more. I have no idea how I had 40 MORE pounds on me last time. CRAZY.

Maternity clothes? So uncomfortable, no matter what I wear. The problem is my skin is too tight even sweats aren't 'comfortable'.

9 Months Pregnant with Baby #2

How far along? 39 weeks, or 9 Months Pregnant!

Total weight gain: 23lbs gained! Weighing in at 158!

Maternity clothes? YES YES YES!

38 Weeks Pregnant with Baby #2

How far along? 38 Weeks 

Total weight gain: Gained a total of 22lbs! :)

Maternity clothes? The more it stretches the better! ;)

Stretch marks? None and so very happy about that.

Sleep: Is not going well. The night before Christmas Eve Ryder got sick and I was up every hour with the poor guy puking. He finally stopped around 6 and I still dont feel 'recovered' from that, but to top it off I've been having the HARDEST time getting to sleep lately so I'm up until 12 or 1 o'clock and then still trying to get out of bed and function. Well today I had the biggest tantrum about getting up. -_-

Best moment this week: CHRISTMAS! Ryder was so cute and amazing, I just love how thankful he was for every toy he got. Even though him being sick was horrible to watch he was so snugly and lovable it was nice.

Miss anything? I miss being able to sit down without puking in my mouth, being rested (I'm not even trying to be picky and say well rested), being able to breathe and being able to control my emotions. HAHAHAHA

Movement:  He hasn't been doing somersaults for awhile but he is knocking around in there.

Food cravings: Junk, ALTOIDS Healthier, Nothing I can think of.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not at all!

Gender: 

Labor signs: I am officially a "loose" 1 cm dilated and am soft but not effaced. Feeling really down about this and was hoping for a membrane sweep but she said not until next week, maybe.

Symptoms: Rapid heartbeats, sweating, hot flashes, inability to catch my breath, dizziness, exhaustion, swelling in the hands/feet/ankles, not enough room for food in stomach, and probably a little bit more exhaustion. I AM SO TIRED! 

Belly button in or out? Out, and my hernia feels bigger but NO GUTS so we're good.

Wedding rings on or off? Off I'm so terrified of the idea of needing my ring cut off me I'd just rather not wear it.

Happy or moody most of the time: I wouldn't say moody like angry but I have had a few crying fits this last week. I am miserable with no sleep and don't do well under pressure (and there is a good amount of pressure in my stomach lol). I have been pretty chipper I think but last night and today I've had a rough go of it.

Looking forward to: 

New Years: 5 days

Work Days until D-Day: 7 days

Baby's D-Day: 13 days

37 Weeks Pregnant with Baby #2

How far along? 37 Weeks (ALMOST 9 Months)

Maternity clothes? Everything that stretches is gold, and I love sweatpants. Hahahhaha

33 weeks with Baby #2 [#1 vs. #2]

I feel just awful that this post is a day late but Mommy & Wife duty called me yesterday, Brandon needed to go to the doctor and ended up getting Xrays. Ryder also had his 4 year well child appointment and is doing amazing... aside from the shots he had to get. He was exhausted and fell asleep after but it wasn't nap time at school so I stayed home with him, and I was so tired but he had other plans. Ryder woke up and wanted to look at all the NEW baby toys we got from Auntie Chana and I just wanted to nap. Unfortunately when Brandon came home from work it was just for a quick bite to eat and head off to a BHJFL meeting then back again to get dropped off at his brother Matt's house for a BTNH concert. Needless to say I can not wait to sleep this weekend. I hope I can sleep this weekend.


How far along? 33 weeks (Almost 8 MONTHS) -- 7 more weeks!!

Total weight gain: I was wrong last week couple weeks it was 147, THIS WEEK is 149, 14 lbs from my pre pregnancy weight of 135 OR 24 lbs from my lowest pregnancy weight 125. Still not tracking my food, I just eat. Whenever the moment strikes me, I eat, it's been striking a lot lately. Occasionally when I stay up my body wants more food but I'll just go to bed so I don't eat too late and have a hefty breakfast in the morning to make up for it.

Maternity clothes? I am REALLY enjoying all my maternity clothes right now. So comfortable and so toasty!

32 Weeks with Baby #2

How far along? 32 weeks!!! (7th Month)

Total weight gain: My weight was surprisingly the same when I went to the doctor last Monday, I weigh 149, 14 lbs from my pre pregnancy weight of 135 OR 24lbs from my lowest pregnancy weight 125. Honestly I've fallen off the tracking my food bandwagon. I can't track all the snacking, I have so little room in my stomach right now that I have to snack more often and have less "meals". 

Maternity clothes? I just got some maternity leggings that are so comfortable and thick and warm, I may never get out of them again. I also picked up a few shirts for the last 8 weeks or so I have. I'm so glad too because my belly was getting too big for the ones I have, I like to think they've shrunk in the wash.

30 Weeks with Baby #2!

How far along? 30 weeks -- HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Total weight gain: I'm guessing I'll be weighing in at 150/151 so calculating after my loss I'm 20/21 lbs gained or I'm at 15/16 from my actual pre-pregnancy weight (135). I have been trying to kick sweets to reset my crazy sweet tooth that I feel is the root of all evil currently. 

Check out THIS awesome weight tracker to make sure you're staying on point. I decided to help myself make good choices I'm also trying to continue to use MyFitnessPal app to track what I eat.

Don't laugh! 

  

Maternity clothes? I still fit into about 3/4 pairs of pre-pregnancy pants thanks to my beband, clearly that's not the case with my Halloween costume! Otherwise I'm now using bodycon/mini dresses as slightly longer shirts to accommodate my much larger midsection. I can't wait to wear them as dresses again!!!! -_-

29 Weeks with Baby #2!!

How far along? 29 weeks 

Total weight gain: I'm weighing in 149 so calculating after my loss I'm 19 lbs gained or I'm at 14 from my actual pre-pregnancy weight (135). I didn't stay away from frostys and I knew this was going to happen. 4 pounds instead of 2. Staying on track and giving up sweets for 2 weeks, trying to break my sweet tooth before the holidays get here and make it worse. I have 2.5 more months!!!

Maternity clothes? I bought a black beband  from Target this weekend, to keep up with my expanding belly and to interchange with the white one my awesome friend Alana loaned me. I'm going to be really out of luck if I ever get too big for my pre-pregnancy pants!

27 weeks with Baby #2

How far along? 27 weeks, almost to the 3rd trimester!!!

Total weight gain: I'm weighing in 144 so calculating after my loss I'm 14 lbs gained or I'm at 9 from my actual pre-pregnancy weight (135). I went to the doctor this week and she wasn't even phased by my weight (I suppose this is a good thing) but I was jumping for joy! Like I had mentioned this time during my last pregnancy I had gained a WHOPPING 19 lbs, and that was just in one month!!!!! My total gain at this point with Ryder was over 20, so here's to a happy healthy pregnancy and only ONE cupcake per day instead of a dozen.

Maternity clothes? New this week I found 3 amazing shirts at Target that I couldn't say no to, they are perfect scoop neck tee's and the price tag to match ($5)! I hate the idea of paying so much money for something I'm only going to be wearing for roughly 3.5 more months (if I'm lucky). 

26 Weeks/6 Months with Baby #2

How far along? 6 MONTHS! I AM 6 MONTHS!?

Total weight gain: I'm weighing in 143 so calculating after my loss I'm aby13 lbs gained or I'm at 8 from my actual pre pregnancy weight. Check out THIS awesome weight tracker to make sure you're staying on point. I decided to help myself make good choices I'm also trying to continue to use MyFitnessPal app to track what I eat.

Maternity clothes? I was given a belly band because my dear friend Alana thinks I should finally give up the hair tie. I have to say, I'm in love. Thanks gorgeous!!

23 Weeks

How far along? 23 weeks

Total weight gain: So I'd rather go off my scale at home but I will go by doctors scale! I was weighed on Monday at 142 so calculating after my loss I'm at 12 lbs gained or I'm at 7 from my actual pre pregnancy weight. Check out THIS awesome weight tracker to make sure you're staying on point.

Maternity clothes? I have the same everything but H&M is making it awfully hard to say no!
