Here is a pregnancy update! I am currently 32 weeks along and cant believe it. This has just flown by so fast.
Here are some fun prego stats:
1. I started off the first trimester demolishing over six jars of pickles.....seriously couldn't get enough!
2. Second trimester I turned to cereal and cookies. If I could have every meal eating chocolate chip cookies I would be totally satisfied. haha
3. My favorite smell I turn to in time of need is Zest soap. Hands down the best smell in the world.
4. I have gained the appropriate amount of weight, still depressing though so I will not be posting the amount.
5. I think Angelina Jolie is full of it. Her words: "Girls take away beauty, while boys give it." Is a load of crap. haha I look the exact same as I did with Claire. I don't have a huge belly, I seem to carry far back, with the boys feet jammed inside my right ribs. But I do feel I have gained weight in places I never gained before. My back and arms....gross and weird!
- I also developed "pregnancy mask" otherwise known as Melasma. I noticed it after taking walks in the morning in the hot sun. Apparently it gets darker the more sunlight it gets. So I have been loading up the sun block and wearing hats for more shade. I think I had it with Claire but, being back east didn't get as much sun so I really didn't think much of it then.
6. I have only swelled up so slightly that only I can notice. My ankles were really bony to begin with .
7. Baby Boy moves a lot and loves to kick me on my right side and stretch all the way out. He had the hiccups for the first time the other day and I put Claire's hand on my belly. She thought that was pretty cool.
8. I ask Claire every if she is excited for Baby brother to come and she always says, " Yeeess." (When her favorite word is NO, that's a big deal) When asked where Mamma's Baby is she points and says, "In Mamma's belly!" "He goin to come pway wiff me!"
9. I have had acid reflux once so far, a couple of weeks ago on our Lake Powell trip with some friends. ( I will do another post on this soon) I felt terrible and really hope that I don't get it again!
10. We are currently working on Baby Boys room. I am enjoying picking out the paint, bedding, and decor. I think I Will finally feel ready for him to come when its all finished. The theme I picked is "Things that go." I like the old rustic trucks, and trains, etc. I found a mobile on eBay that I love and cant wait for it to come in. It has air balloons!!!!

Thanks for the update! So fun to hear about your new baby and all the things you are experiencing. I wanted cookies with Jake--then I got gestational diabetes and couldn't have them. I was really angry at first, but eventually got over it. Now I still love store-bought dry cookies. Too weird!
ReplyDeleteThat's so awesome, you will be glad to have this oneday when your kids ask to hear stories! My boys LOVE it when I tell them about when they were little. Hunter dies laughing when I tell him that he projectile vomited all over Julie when he was 1 month old! And Weston loves it when I tell him about how he would nuzzle his way into my neck even as a newborn and through out his infancy.
ReplyDeleteYes, be so glad you don't have reflux on a re-occuring basis. It sucks incredibly. I will get better drugs the next time. It was horrendous to say the least. :)
love you!
