Week 33 Pregnancy Update

By -

How Far Along? 33 weeks
Weight Gain? 17 pounds
Maternity Clothes? Although I feel desperate to have more than just a few shirts that actually fit me, I'm having a really hard time justifying buying $75 worth of new maternity clothes when I might only be wearing them for two weeks.
Stretch Marks? Nothing new.
Sleep? I've been having a really hard time sleeping the past week. Baby has gotten so big that I must have a pillow shoved under my belly on the side I'm sleeping on just to keep my belly from getting so sore due to the weight. Also, since Josh is gone for more than half the week, I don't have anyone to turn me over from my back to my side, so I have to wedge a second pillow behind my back to make sure I don't roll flat on my back during the night.
Best Moment This Week? Getting a mani-pedi with my big sis! Friday was a harder day for me last week because I felt fat, huge and simply done with being pregnant. Madison and I had talked about getting our nails done for pretty much the whole time I've been living at my parents house, so I decided to take the oppurtunity to get them done. I'm so glad I did, it totally gave me that boost I needed to feel a little more beautiful. 
Movement? Baby is moving like crazy!
Food Cravings? Tortillas you cook at home and meat. I actually had Josh pick me up an entire sausage to snack on!
Anything Making You Queasy or Sick? Nothing in particular.
Gender? Boy!
Labor Signs? Lots of contractions! I'm currently taking a medication to help slow down and spread out my Braxton Hicks to prevent another fit of preterm labor.
Symptoms? Pretty much the same as last week.
Happy or Moody? Moody for sure! I had quite a few meltdowns last week.
Looking Forward To? Being done!

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 ...
