Week 35 Pregnancy Update

By -

How Far Along? 35 weeks (already?! WOW!)
Total Weight Gain: 23 lbs.
Maternity Clothes? Yup, and loving every minute! I'm starting to boycott my maternity jeans though, since they're starting to dig in where Lincoln's head is (yes, he's already head down!)
Stretch Marks? Tons!
Sleep: I've been sleeping pretty horribly this week! Lots of nightmares! Not fun at all.
Best Moment This Week: Having my last doctors appointment on Monday and getting an all clear on everything! My blood pressure is good, Linc's heart rate is good, the only thing my doc was concerned about was the fact that I haven't gained any weight since my last appointment. Hopefully I can change that over the weekend! I LOVE Thanksgiving and I love eating! I just hope that there's pecan pie... yum yum yum!
Miss Anything? I miss not being pregnant! I tried to put on a shirt that I wore last winter and it couldn't go past my belly button. It was a little disheartening but it just makes me that much more motivated to get all my baby weight off ASAP (and then a little more!)
Movement: Tons! I love feeling him kick and I'm trying to relish in every moment because I think this is the one thing I'll miss.
Food Cravings: Pecan pie! I searched my entire grocery store and almost bought one on Monday night because I wanted some that bad!
Anything Making You Queasy or Sick? Same ol' stuff.
Gender: Boy
Labor Signs: None yet! (I'm SO happy about that! One of my biggest fears is going into labor too soon.)
Symptoms: A lot of Braxton Hicks and thats about it for this week.
Belly Button In or Out: Out for sure.
Wedding Ring On or Off? I can actually put it on most days!
Happy or Moody? Moody. I just feel like I've been preggo for so long and it feels like its never going to end. I'm really looking forward to being able to lose weight again!
Looking Forward To? Thanksgiving tomorrow! I'm going to eat to my little hearts content, without regrets. My doc said I need to be consistently gaining at least a pound a week and since I didn't gain anything last week, I'm just going to be guiltless at the Thanksgiving table tomorrow. :)

Happy Thanksgiving to all my loyal readers!

Thanks for reading!

I tried something new with my hair. What do you think? How Far Along? 36 weeks Total Weight Gain: 23 pounds Maternity Clothes? Yep! It's kinda sad though, Josh's shirts can hardly cover my tummy anymore! Stretch Marks? Tons! Although they're already starting to fade quite a bit. Sleep:  My sleep has been pretty good so far this week. Best Moment This Week: Going out to Costa Vida for our date night! Miss Anything? Nothing that I haven't already mentioned. Movement: Lots! He really hasn't slowed down since his peak at 28 weeks. My doc said he should slow down soon but I have a feeling he's just going to keep on kickin'. I think this might mean that I'm going to have a wild child on my hands further down the road. Food Cravings: Chili's bacon ranch quesadillas and their cookie brownie with ice cream on top. Yum yum yum! Anything Making You Queasy or Sick? Fish, eggs, and peppermint Gender: Boy Labor Signs: None yet! I think Lincoln i...

Lincoln 7 Week Update

I just wanted to write a quick update on how my little peanut is doing! Lincoln is getting stronger every day! He held his head up for a whole two minutes a few days ago and his stepping reflex is working like crazy whenever I try to make him bear weight on his legs. I've got a little body builder baby! He's starting to become more aware of what's going on around him. I'll walk around with him and he's always trying to look at everything, especially our bookcases. He just loves it! He's starting to hold onto toys! I put his baby keys in his hand and he held onto them for dear life! He's starting to get interested in different sounds, he's even turning toward them! As you can see, he's smiling now! He'll smile a lot when you talk to him in a baby voice and when you make cooing noises at him. He's making more cooing sounds himself! I think he's realizing that he has a voice.  Lincoln loves his daddy so mu...

Something Terrible Happened

By -
I'm not sure exactly how to start this post, but I know it needs to be written. I don't want to forget this experience even though it feels so painful. Last week, I was a little over 4 weeks along and my prenatal vitamins came in the mail. I was diligently making a pregnancy test chart to compare the darkness of the test lines from the day before. I was feeling so much better than I did before our pregnancy loss last year (the second line was visible for a day and then the line disappeared and my cycle started soon after) since the test line was clearly visible, even from an arms length away. The day after I started my vitamins, I noticed that my nausea had basically gone away, something I was thrilled about since I hate feeling sick like that. My skin started breaking out worse than it had all week and I chalked it up to pregnancy hormones. We had my in-laws over for Mother's Day and just before we started cooking up S'mores, I felt a wave of depression hit me. I ...
