28 Weeks with Baby #2

How far along? 28 weeks 

Total weight gain: I'm weighing in 145 so calculating after my loss I'm 15 lbs gained or I'm at 10 from my actual pre-pregnancy weight (135). If I dont stay away from the frosty's I'm going to be well on my way to much more than this tough, someone share a little bit of your will power with me please!!

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? Nothing new this week, I'm still loving the loose comfy tee's I found at Target (this is one of them in the picture). I'd really love to get the gap maternity leggings **HINT HINT BRANDON**

Stretch marks? No new ones!! I've started using coconut oil as well as the cocobutter I've been using. I use the coconut oil at night and the lotion in the morning. I also got stretchmarks in other places than just my stomach last time so I'm making sure to moisturize EVERYWHERE! No one told me you could get them on the back of your calf! hahaha

Sleep: Still sleeping really hard, I think even harder now that Ryder is in his own room but oddly enough I've got one talker out of the room Brandon's actually began physically waking me up while he's sleeping to talk to me in his sleep about his dream.. it's the weirdest thing because he's NEVER talked in his sleep before. I just humor him and try to get him back to being quiet as quickly as possible.

Best moment this week: Getting Ryder in his new bed and having NO problems with him sleeping in there, he was so ready to be in his own room with a BIGT boy bed he couldn't be happier. He even plays in his room for fun by himself now. 

Miss anything? This week I miss the perkiness of the 2nd trimester. I feel so sluggish and I just want to eat junk with the way the weathers been. I love fall and fog and rain and all of it but this week is sunny every afternoon and Ryder has been loving playing outside. I wish I was up for it as much as he is! 

Movement: Baby is crazy in there! Hiccups every day, kicking all the time and just wilin' out! Hahaha Some times I dont feel him moving and then I'll put my hand on my stomach and I can feel him kicking lightly under there. I love nothing more than feeling him move and knowing he is in there thriving! 

Junk Food cravings: I fell off the blizzard wagon and I'm addicted to FROSTY'S!!!! 

Healthy Food Craving: Clementines? Those still have a lot of sugar but they are oranges-- FRUIT!

Anything making you queasy or sick: I have been really fortunate to only have the bout of all day sickness in my first trimester. I am feeling great! 

Gender: BOY!!!

Labor signs: I have been experiencing some Braxton Hicks contractions after I had a slight trauma to my belly. Ryder was running and tripped over Brandon's big shoes and caught himself with his elbow right on my belly while I was laying to one side. It hurt quite a bit and I had some cramping/contractions for the next 24 hours or so but today I'm doing much better and haven't had one!

Symptoms: My guts are still inside my stomach, my pelvic discomfort is doing just fine but now (something has to be wrong with me right?!) my neck and lower back hurt! BOO 

Belly button in or out? In-ish, it's slightly herniated out-ish. I don't know. It's a strange belly button.

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or moody most of the time: Still so happy but I have been having bouts of the emotional roller coaster that goes a long with pregnancy so I have noticed I've been quiet a lot more than I usually am lately. I also was all over Brandon trying to smother him with my kisses but now I just let him be since he's working and when he's done if he feels up for it we can snuggle up. I'm so lucky to have 3 cuddly pups and a snuggle-saurus-Ry! ;-) I am also battling with being ready to have my body back to myself and loving up every last second of being pregnant, talk about emotional roller coaster! 

Looking forward to: My OBGYN appointment on Monday, this weekend there isn't a ton going on but another Nerium party I will most likely have to miss because it's during Brandon's open house.

Catch ya later!
