Flying By, Already 29 Weeks!

 

 

How Far Along: 29 ish weeks  (sorry for the bad iPhone pics, the only way I am consistent about adding them to the posts and I definately want to keep track of this adventure)

 

Size of baby: Like a butternut squash (according to Babycenter) about 15 inches and almost 2 1/2 pounds! That seems amazing to me, that a baby that big is in my belly and only going to get bigger and bigger!

Maternity Clothes: Some, mostly regular still. Sometime with belly band sometime without. The outfit above is regular Gap skirt, Target tank and a cardy ...

Movement: Still lots of movement, mostly at very specific times. I love being reassured BW is ok in there... Active most often EARLY AM, lunchtime and about 10PM on the dot. Course NOW 2AM there is a dance party in my belly :)

What I miss: I feel GREAT right now, and in fact probably wouldnt even FEEL pregnant if not for the HARD contractions everytime I try and GET up to do anything :(

Sleep: Sleep has gone DOWNHILL again, mostly due to being WOKEN up now by the dance party in my belly ... Which I LOVE.

Symptoms: HEARTBURN, ACID REFLUX and more heartburn. My sickies have FINALLY gone away! Super happy about that. All the water must have washed them out.

Cravings: Still LOVING Ice water and COLD fruit, pineapple and applesauce this week. Oh and ICE CREAM :) and cookies - That could be bad!

Best Moments this week: The nursery coming together, and realizing BW is going to make an arrival before we know it. I cannot wait to get the bedding I ordered, have to LOVE etsy. Debating on ordering a few more items I have found off etsy, that place is addicting. Husby putting the dresser together last night - it all looks so GREAT. Cannot wait to get some prints on the walls.

What we are looking forward to:  Finishing up the nursery, going on our Babymoon in a few weeks, and enjoying these last couple of months as just the two of us! It is hard to wrap our heads around the fact that after 10 years it is going to be not just us anymore. We are EXCITED and super duper NERVOUS! Update on my dr appt - The drs informed us that an arrival at ANY point from now on is a realization! We are doing EVERYTHING in our power to keep BW IN the belly for as long as possible. However my belly does NOT want to cooperate. So now we are preparing - in case BW makes an early appearance!

 

28 Weeks already!

28 Weeks 3 days

 

 

How Far Along: 28 ish weeks

 

 

Size of baby: Like a Chinese cabbage (according to Babycenter) about 14.8 inches and almost 2 1/4 pounds!

Maternity Clothes: Some, mostly regular still. Sometime with belly band sometime without. The outfit above is regular AE cargo pants, and a med top from Target I got on the clearance rack a few weeks ago.

Movement: Still lots of movement, mostly at very specific times. I love being reassured BW is ok in there... Active most often EARLY AM, lunchtime and about 10PM on the dot.


What I miss: I am feeling ok, still LOTS and LOTS of contractions and now a LOVELY cold that has turned into a sinus infection! YUCKO. Drinking lots and lots of water, almost feel like I am turning INTO a river with the amount that goes in and comes out on a regular basis. Trying to drink MORE to clear the sickness away and stop the contractions ...


Sleep: This last week, I have been sleeping in better increments - like 2 hour stretches and then I am WIDE awake for a bit.


Symptoms: HEARTBURN, ACID REFLUX and more heartburn. Eating and breathing at the same time seem to be a problem this week, I think most of it stems from the sickies though, so hopefully that goes away soon.


Cravings: Still LOVING Ice water and COLD fruit, pineapple and applesauce this week. Oh and ICE CREAM :)

My dr appt tomorrow - to make sure she is NOT going to come in the next couple of weeks ...

14 WEEKS! Say WHAT!

I have been debating on whether I would do these posts or not. I have decided YES so I can document this miracle in our lives. My husband and I thought for SURE we would never know what it was like to be pregnant or have a biological child. We are MORE than thrilled to be going through this journey together :)

How Far Along: 14 Weeks 2 Days

Size of baby: A lemon, 4 1/2 inches and 5 oz (I think per one of those baby websites)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: +1 ( I had loss a lot in the beginning, it is starting to come back finally, though
STILL vomitting ALOT YUCKO)

Gender: We do NOT know yet, still debating on if we will find out, one of those things we cannot agree on) 


Movement: Um, well between the vommiting and OTHER issues I have, my belly is upset, I cannot tell WHAT is what in there ... Perhaps soon I will know the difference.

What I miss: Eating without feeling like a bulemic - My poor teeth are taking a lot of abuse :)

Sleep: What is that, not happing in the B household - at all EVER :(

Symptoms: It might be easier to list the ones I am NOT having, swelling - I think thats it right now!

Cravings: Zero - still HATING food, but I am forcing myself to eat veggies, fruits and oatmeal - With a side of vanilla frozen yogurt!


Notes: Husby and I have been holding our breath, but we ARE finally starting to feel like this is going to happen... It has been full of fear, anxiety, and lots of what if moments ... Now we are starting to feel more and more happy - still a long road but we are praying it works out in the end! 


Best Moments this week: Hitting the 2nd trimester mark - seeing the bean on the screen hiccupping away :)

What we are looking forward to:  EVERYTHING!!! I will take some belly pics soon, I have yet to take any - but I dont think there is much there yet anywho ...

Is it true?? Is this REALLY happening to ME?!?!

I have waited and waited to announce this, I keep thinking if I say something - I will jinx it, but I think it is sinking in ...FINALLY

I cannot believe that it is finally happening ... 10 years together, 3 years of marriage, 5 years of infertility treatments, 1 last "try" = 1 blessed couple, expecting one BLESSED bean! We could not be happier ...

We are FINALLY into the 2nd trimester - now I am crossing fingers and legs that vomitting, nauseous, sleepless night and exhaustion will FINALLY start to subside - at least for a while ... Though after ALL we have been through, any sign or symptom that shows us bean is healthy and happy is OK by me!

Now if we can only agree on ANYTHING... It is going to be a LONG 6 months :) Baby B is due in June!
