How far long: 22 weeks!
Baby size:
Maternity clothes: All the time. Fun cute sweaters and jeans and leggings are my go to right now.
Sleep: When I get sleep I sleep pretty well
Best moment of the week: One more month down (end of January) before this little boy arrives. This pregnancy is going by so fast and I can't believe it. We bought our first outfit for him this weekend. A cute little short and shirt outfit that is blue/turquoise with a little truck on it. So cute!
Movement: All the time!!
Food cravings: I may or may not have eaten a ridiculous amount of chips and salsa this week.
What I miss: Nothing
What I'm looking forward to: We have a doctor appointment later this week. Love getting to check on him and listen to his little heartbeat. E loves to listen to his heart beat too.
Pregnancy Symptoms: Getting winded when going up stairs (really?) I just laugh at myself. My pregnancy brain is starting to make me forget to do important things (like plug in a crockpot).
Stretch Marks: None
Belly button: In
How far long: 23 weeks!
Baby size:
Maternity clothes: This dress is a regular dress (got to love the maxi dresses) but mainly I wear shirts and jeans that are both maternity.
Sleep: I got a good night sleep because I spent the night away from the house!
Best moment of the week: We got to listen to his heartbeat at our appointment this week. He is doing well and growing right on schedule. I also got a full uninterrupted sleep because I had a girls night after the If:gathering where we stayed at a cabin on Eagle Mountain Lake. It was awesome!!
Movement: Oh yes, and some of his movements are starting to hurt.
Food cravings: Nothing major this week.
What I miss: Nothing
What I'm looking forward to: We are having a family night later this week to celebrate Valentine's Day. I can't wait until he is here to join us!
Pregnancy Symptoms: This week I have some upset stomach problems that I haven't had since the Zofran pump came off. I didn't throw up but my stomach felt off. The only thing that calmed it down was my flavored carbonated water I had in the refrigerator that I have on hand for this type of thing.
Stretch Marks: None
Belly button: In
How far long: 24 weeks!
Baby size:
Maternity clothes: Yes just because they are just comfortable.
Sleep: Sleep is going well. I am having some weird pregnancy dreams lately. Very vivid and just weird.
Best moment of the week: We went and registered this weekend. We added a few things to the registry just to have some boyish things. No major big items since we have those already but I'm sure he would rather have blue blankets or sleep sacks instead of the girlie pink ones his sister has =)
Movement: Oh yes and this week he mad me gasp and Elyanah asked me if I was ok. I just told her that her little brother kicked me really hard. Ha!
Food cravings: I really was craving fruit this week. You know like blueberries and strawberries which are not in season so I had to use some frozen variety.
What I miss: Nothing
What I'm looking forward to: My birthday is this week and I'm looking forward to going to the Cheesecake Factory. I am sure this little boy will enjoy all the yumminess I will eat there. I am also going to a consignment sale next weekend so hopefully I will get some cute clothes for him.
Pregnancy Symptoms: Still having some stomach issues on and off throughout the week. It only lasted a 2 days but it was annoying. I tried to have scrambled eggs for breakfast one day and he wanted none of that. So for the record, still can't eat eggs or enjoy the smell of them. Also coffee is still bothering me if I get a good whiff of it.
Stretch Marks: None
Belly button: In
How far long: 25 weeks!
Baby size:
Maternity clothes: Yep!
Sleep: Sleeping ok but my hips are starting to really bother me if I stay on one side too long. So I will wake up several times a night because of the aching and have to switch sides.
Best moment of the week: I bought some more clothes for our little boy this week at the consignment sale. They are so cute. I keep looking at them and think "surely, they aren't this small!" I think I forget how tiny E was at the beginning too.
Movement: All the time!!
Food cravings: I really wanted avocados this week. I went to B.J.'s with some friends and ordered some avocado egg rolls and they were amazing. Avocados are the best.
What I miss: Nothing
What I'm looking forward to: Going to Canton with my college roommate next weekend! I can't wait to get a lovey there. I got one for E at the same place before she was born and I love that they will both have a lovey from there.
Pregnancy Symptoms: It's getting hard to pick things up the floor! Ha! Not too bad but it just takes a little more effort. I still don't like the smell of coffee.
Stretch Marks: None
Belly button: In
How far long: 26 weeks!
Baby size:
Maternity clothes: This shirt in this picture is not maternity but long enough that I could still wear it.
Sleep: Weird dreams. Just weird, crazy dreams.
Best moment of the week: WE DECIDED ON A NAME!!! Well a first name at least. We are still working on a middle name but that will come eventually. I'm just excited that we have a name that we can call him now. Baby brother just wasn't cutting it. Although, E still wants to call him baby brother but hopefully she will catch on soon.
Movement: He moves all the time. He has his active times (around 10 pm and the middle of the afternoon) but he rarely goes an hour without moving.
Food cravings: Avocados, yogurt, and cookies
What I miss: Nothing
What I'm looking forward to: Well we didn't get to go to Canton because of the snow so we rescheduled for April! I have my gestational diabetes test this week and we get an ultrasound too since I'm starting my 3rd trimester.
Pregnancy Symptoms: I feel like he had a growth spurt this week. I feel bigger and heavier and it takes more of an effort to put on pants and socks and shoes. =)
Stretch Marks: None
Belly button: In
How far long: 27 weeks!
Baby size:
Maternity clothes: This shirt isn't maternity but I do rock my maternity jeans like no other.
Sleep: I am still having weird dreams. This week I vividly remember that I decided to become Amish and I milked a cow and lived on a farm. (What?!)
Best moment of the week: No appointment happened this week because of snow again so we rescheduled for next week. I went to another sale this week and got more clothes for him! I am so excited for him to wear them. Plus we had one of Jason's co-workers gift us there clothes from their son so it's been fun organizing those too. I started working on some burp clothes for him too!
Movement: He moves all the time!
Food cravings: I wanted to drink all the water this week but nothing really in the food department this week.
What I miss: Nothing
What I'm looking forward to: Gestational diabetes appointment this week. We are visiting Jason's brother and family next weekend so it will be nice to see them.
Pregnancy Symptoms: My stomach was upset again this week but this time I had it for 3 days this week. Carbonated water was my friend. Indigestion is also starting to come back but drinking a glass of milk seems to help it.
