33 weeks pregnant

How far along? 33 weeks, 1 or 2 days late with this update because I had my doc apt today

 Total weight gain/measurements? I now weigh 165lbs and a half so I actually lost half a pound within 2 weeks, most women gain a pound per a week but I am 4lbs on the high end and I've been eating healthier the past 2 weeks so that could be why. I'm still not eating crazy healthy however the OB I had today said I was measuring great and said everything seemed great.

 Maternity clothes? Nope not buying any, I'm almost done with this pregnancy. I probably have a month left so whats the point?

Stretch marks? Yep, one of them really popped this week! so sad :/


 Sleep? About the same, I'm constantly dreaming and not all of the dreams are good dreams so that sucks but I have dreamed about my baby girl the past week and it was nice.

 Anything interesting happen this week? I had a ultrasound on Monday to check my placenta and the tech said it moved (Yay!!!). My baby girl is also measuring at a good size and seems perfectly fine :) Oh & shes still head down.

 Best moment this week? The ultrasound, it relieved a lot of my nerves plus it was nice to see her.

 Miss anything? Not being so sleepy however I know I'm going to still be sleepy awhile after she is born...

 Movement? Lots of course lol

 Food cravings? Pizza which I ended up giving into today, bistro's, lemonade, ice cream, fruit but everything we got sucked :/ gummies & just nice home cooked meals.

 Anything making you queasy or sick? I was feeling queasy on Monday and I "threw up" once however my son was getting sick that night so it might have been a bug going around that slightly effected me or maybe it was just from not sleeping well I'm not sure.

Gender? Girl :)

Labor signs? I have been having a lot more back pain and BH so for me thats a sign she will be arriving in the near future.

Symptoms?
 Shortness of breath, she hasn't dropped so i still feel her feet under my belly and sometimes her bum too
Urge to urinate more frequently
 Holding water weight
 Hair is less manageable from the increase of it
Stuffy nose (not so bad this week)
 Heartburn is only getting worse I take about 2 tums a day (Thank god for tums ;p)
 Nightmares
Difficulty getting comfy, boo!
Acne is getting better
Daily bh
Pregnancy brain
Still feeling itchy and swollen down there, and when I went a month ago they said it was a yeast infection so my guess is its from blood flow down there and changes due to pregnancy
Eyes have been very sensitive.
Skin is still dry but manageable

 Belly button in or out? In! Was in with my last pregnancy, my baby bump was quite small.

Happy or moody most of the time? Both

 Looking forward to? Honestly I don't know lol I enjoy everyday with my family :)

 I used the questions from Anna Saccones pregnancy update post.


Pictures will be up later this week :)

BABY?!?!?!?

In a month I will have my baby girl, its mind boggling that I'm 32 weeks going on 33 weeks pregnant, I just know shes going to be here around 37 weeks given my history of early labor plus my mom had my siblings and I all about 2 weeks early so to go pass 38 weeks will be mind boggling..

 I just remember last summer wanting a baby then not knowing if I could handle two but I knew it was my nerves taking and I really did want another one I just didn't feel like my life was complete. Devon & I were not not trying and honestly I think its the best way to get pregnant. There is no expectations and like I mentioned before I was still unsure from my nerves, having preterm history made me really scared as it would any women.

 A couple weeks after being pregnant and not knowing we were at the cne and I was having fun but not feeling all that great, Devon knew I was pregnant but I was hesitant after all I had been off the pill for months however we decided I needed to take a test. The next day I would learn I was pregnant.

 Now here I am. I'm so excited to meet this baby girl, I dream about her, I see her move and I love her so much. I am nervous how my son will take to having a baby sister, in my eyes hes still a baby. He will just turn 2 around the time she will be born. I will do my best to make it an easy transition but I really don't think there is such thing. However we are a strong family full of love so I know we'll find a way.

 Something else I think about it what if I want another baby? It's like I know 2 is whats best for my family's situation but how would I get rid of the urge in the years to come? In 8 years if I was rich then ya I would probably talk Devon into having another but our financial situation isn't great and our goals are to get a new suv, visit my moms home island and to buy a house that is our goals within the next 10 years and along the way I do want to get married. However with those huge goals there in no room or money for a baby, I tell myself I'll settle for a puppy but really the bond with a animal and child doesn't even compare. I guess life will go as it goes and I really don't know what the future holds and what I may want in 8 years. As of right now I just want a healthy fullterm baby.

32 week pregnancy update

How far along? 32 weeks

 Total weight gain/measurements? Totally forgot to do an update lol Well as of last Tuesday I gained a extra 5lbs in 2 weeks! Bad I know which brings my total weight gain to 31 lbs and I now weigh 166 lbs. I'm trying to eat healthy but I'm not concerned because in those 2 weeks you can tell my belly got a lot bigger and she feels a lot bigger. I just gain a lot and I loose a lot after so I'm not concerned.

 Maternity clothes? Devon and I did so much baby shopping and the only things I got for myself that are maternity related is bra extenders & panties for the hospital, black bikni cut.

Stretch marks? Uh huh...

 Sleep? Wonky lol Most nights I can sleep for 7-8 hours without needing to pee and occasionally I can get 10hours of sleep and rarely I only get 4-5hrs before needing to pee. It still is hard to get comfy luckily we're getting a new euro top bed soon! Happy dance lol

 Anything interesting happen this week? Devon got a nice tax refund so we bought more baby stuff like her play yard/bassinet, clothes, a nice nursing cover and other stuff we needed where waiting for the rest of it so we can get a new bed and frame as well as zoo season passes, a cabinet and the rest will go to paying off some debt and probably groceries lol The h&r block guy kind of messed up my taxes so I will gradually be getting a refund starting next month and I'm buying us a new tv :)

 Best moment this week? Shopping of course! lol It's a minor addiction.

 Miss anything? Julianna's movement not being so painful, it tends to hurt a lot now and I'm hoping I have at least 5 weeks left though. Shes going to be a big girl!

 Movement? ^^^^ lol...

 Food cravings? Fruity juices, chocolate, fruit roll us, salad, hot dogs and I love a nice baked chicken yum!

 Anything making you queasy or sick? I've been randomly feeling a bit queasy for no reason.

Gender? Girl :)

Labor signs? Nope...

 Shortness of breath much better since she turned  Urge to urinate more frequently

31 week pregnancy blog

How far along? 30 weeks & 6 days or 31 weeks

 Total weight gain/measurements? Finding out tomorrow and will update when I have a chance.

 Maternity clothes? I honestly don't think I will be purchasing anything after all I only have like a month and a half left considering I'll probably have her around 37 weeks. I can't wait to start buying summer clothes though :)

Stretch marks? Ya :/ They never bothered me before but there starting too..

 Sleep? Usually good, I do get up at night but the earliest I usually wake up to pee is . Last night I went to bed at 1am and didn't get up to pee until 11am.

 Anything interesting happen this week? 4d/3d ultrasound! Utterly amazing, She is a she i'll first say that lol And she was being so silly! So we got there a hour early and she was hyper the past 3 hours so I figured ok she will probably fall asleep and hopefully be up when we start the apt but nope she stayed up as I had mc donalds for lunch and then we went to the apt 20mins early and the tech was sooo friendly and we waited about 5 mins as she sat everything up. The place smelt like yummy bath & body works candles and the room was super cozy, Devon and I were very impressed. When she turned on the ultrasound machine we saw our beautiful baby girl with a blob in front of her face, turned out to be her foot! lol When Devon would talk she would open up her eyes it was adorable, the tech said she was very alert for her age so I'm wondering if shes older then 31 weeks... After awhile the tech got me to walk around and jiggle my belly to see if we could get her foot out of her face well she didn't like that very much because she ended up turning around lol I then spent awhile tossing and turning from side to side and she finally turned back but by then she was super sleepy and started yawning and seemed to fall asleep. We wanted my bladder to full up some more so I walked around a bit and it kind of helped however she ended up pouting a bit when we got her back up :( luckily she was all smiles a moment later. We got some great shot and she started yawning again so we wrapped up the apt. Overall I was super pleased. The tech went out of her way to make the apt special it was suppose to be 30mins long but turned out to be a hr long. We got 27 pictures on a cd, a dvd of the entire apt and 2 printed pictures and Devon bought a frame saying "It's a girl!". It was amazing to see her, in my last pregnancy post you can see a few of the pictures :) I'm working on editing a short video. I'm just so relieved to know shes really a girl and it was so nice to see her, she seemed very cozy so hopefully she'll stay in for at least 6 more weeks!

 Best moment this week? 3d/4d ultrasound of course :)

 Miss anything? Seeing her! aha if I was rich I would have another 4d ultrasound ;D

 Movement? Less but when she moves from side to side or kicks or hits me I REALLY feel it lol

 Food cravings? chicken nuggets thus why I gave in to mc donalds lol organic oranges, chocolate, lemon pound cake, watermelon, celery with dip uh I think thats it lol On a side note I do give in to most of my cravings however I drink lots of water and I eat yucky brownies & granola bars high in fiber as well as yogurts. Dinners are usually pretty healthy. I don't eat really bad but I defiantly don't eat really good lol

 Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope

Gender? Girl :)

Labor signs? Nope...

Symptoms?
 Shortness of breath much better since she turned the past week I believe
 Urge to urinate more frequently
 Holding water weight
 Hair is less manageable from the increase of it

30 weeks pregnant

 A day Early, actually it might not even be because one of my ultrasounds said April 29th was my due date lol

How far along? 30 weeks... wow I really didn't know if I would make it this far without going into premature labor. I am so grateful to still be pregnant and I pray that I can keep her in for 7 more weeks.

 Total weight gain/measurements? Total weight gain of 26lbs as of my last apt.

 Maternity clothes? With about two months left I'm going to avoid buying clothes.

Stretch marks? Noticed one of my stretch marks really popped and  is looking like its ready to get even bigger :( Guess bio oil isn't as great as I thought it was. After pregnancy and after I loose a good amount of weight I plan on trying this "miracle" stretch mark cream. If it works I will do a review on it :)

 Sleep? Still sleeping about 8hours straight before I have to get up to pee, I'm sure that will change. I still get up easily at night. I can't wait for a bigger and comfier bed!

 Anything interesting happen this week? Hmmm let me think... My son rolled his belly lol He also loves to lift up his top and slap his belly lmao Baby wise I've been feeling her have a lot more hiccups & I think she has permanently turned.

 Best moment this week? Eating bad lol! Oh how nice it is to give into cravings ;)

 Miss anything? A clean place, I feel bad for my SO he does everything. I can't wait until I'm recovered so I can help him.

 Movement? The past few days I've noticed shes not moving as much and her kicks don't feel as powerful so I believe shes starting to run out of room.

 Food cravings? Chicken wings, cupcake (haven't given in), pastry like foods I've been treating myself to a coconut pastry now and then and its sooooo good! I've also been craving cantaloupe, stuff like fudgicles or cream pops, still loving chocolate. I've been really enjoying salad and celery with dip.

 Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope however I did catch a cold yesterday so I'm feeling sick but not nauseous.

  On a side note it was my son's second Valentines day and he enjoyed it. We got him a chocolate teddy bear loli which he ate in a couple days, we got him lindor however they had white chocolate in the middle which hes not a fan of however we also got him bubbles and he adores them! Next is Easter and his Birthday I can't wait. For Easter we plan on getting him the cadbury mini eggs and lindor mini eggs because he loves them, I hate buying cheap chocolate. For his Birthday I will probably have his baby sister so where just going to have a VERY small Thomas party with just a few guests and we plan on getting him a portable DVD player because he loves watching his movies and he already has soooo much toys.

28 Week Pregnancy Update

How far along? 28 weeks, a super nerve racking week it shall be...

 Total weight gain/measurements? 18lbs since my last apt.

 Maternity clothes? Nope, no new additions.

Stretch marks? Still using Bio-oil, I think it is kind of working because my Linea Nigra appears to be very faint compared to my last pregnancy.

 Sleep? Still having a tough time getting comfy and staying asleep. I use to be able to sleep for 8 hours at least without having to get up to pee now its about 6. I'm waiting for lab results to see if I have a uti causing me to urinate 30 times more the past few days.

 Anything interesting happen this week? I'm starting to be able to make out her body parts a bit more, sometimes she will push up and I can guess if its her back or leg, possibly a foot or hand lol

 Best moment this week? Ummm Devon was holding popcorn in his hand & when he wasn't looking our 21 month old son went up and scooped it up with his mouth. It was so funny we all started laughing.

 Miss anything? Having a bra fit right :( Even my sports bra isn't comfy.

 Movement? My belly is like a volcano, it randomly erupts and goes crazy lol

 Food cravings? Chocolate, fruity drinks, Chocolate milk has been my HG this week, also craved cantaloupe, chicken wings all of which I ate as usual! ;) I don't feel bad about what I eat because  I know I eat in moderation. I eat granola bars, fibre brownies and low cal snacks everyday.

 Anything making you queasy or sick? Glucose challenge did :( When I did it with my son I had no problems besides waiting forever to get the drink and being bored. This time it tasted waaaay worse! I don't know why because its the same drink. I felt so light headed after 10 minutes and I even felt nauseous. I really hope I didn't fail...

Gender? Girl :)

 Shortness of breath all the time
 Urge to urinate more frequently (Cause this week may be a uti)

 Looking forward to? Still looking forward to hopefully having positive results in the next few weeks. (passing glucose challenge, figuring out what antibiotics I need & hopefully finding out that my placenta isn't low lying & that shes turned).

 I used the questions from Anna Saccones pregnancy update post.

 28 weeks 4 days

  Interesting fact either the 1st time I went into labor & almost had my son or the time I went into labor and had him it was a full moon. Apparently the gravitational pull can jump start labor. Turns out the next one is March 25th. Hoping it doesn't send me into early labor!
