How Far Along? 28 weeks

Weight:  125

Sleep: Sleeping might be my new favorite thing. I fall asleep fast and stay asleep (for the most part). I am waking up at least once a night to pee, but I’m trying to enjoy sleeping as much as I can now, because I heard it just gets more and more uncomfortable. 

Food Cravings: Lately it’s been strawberries, mac and cheese and thing sweet. 

Best Moment This Week: Officially reaching my third trimester. WOW. Only a few months left til you are here! 

What I Miss: Rare meats, goat cheese and ahi tuna. Also not having to worry about drinking too much caffeine.

What I Am Looking Forward To: Going to Florida in a week for my first baby shower. I’m excited for my mom and everyone down there to see my big belly!

What I Am Not Looking Forward To: Flying to Florida and back at 29-30 weeks. Flying at 20 weeks was horrible I can only imagine how much this trip will suck. Plus I will be flying alone down there.

Milestones: Reaching the third trimester is huge. We are one short summer away from having a baby. The nursery is almost completely done. We are signed up for a class at the hospital as well as a CPR class. We’re getting as prepared as we can!

Tomorrow we have our big ultrasound. The one where we hopefully find out what you are! We are so excited to see you considering last time (about 13 weeks ago) you were just a little blob. Hopefully now you will look much more like a baby. Your daddy and I have decided we both want to find out your sex, however if for some reason you don’t want to show us we’re not going to opt to get another ultrasound. If you want to keep your sex a secret then we won’t find out til your born!
Both of us really think you are a boy. For awhile it seemed like everyone did. But today whenever we told someone about the appointment tomorrow they said they think you are a girl. I think I had at least ten people tell me they thought you were a girl. I guess we’ll (probably) find out tomorrow!
Can’t wait to see you,
Mama

I haven’t been doing a very good job of keeping up this little blog, but I’m going to start trying to do better. I’m not so busy at work and might actually have some time to write in here. 

You are finally really starting to show now and people talk about you all the time at work. I’ve had a few belly pats and really I don’t mind them. I already like showing you off. Even though you are making it difficult for mama to get dressed in the morning I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Right now my biggest hope is to feel you moving around in there. When we heard your heartbeat last you were moving around so much! I need you to keep moving and kicking until I can feel you! I know if might take a few weeks, but I just can’t wait until then.

Yesterday your daddy and I when to pick out some paint swatches for your room. I hope you like yellow! We can’t wait to find out if you are a little boy or a little girl. Not surprisingly your daddy is hoping you are a boy, while I hope you are a girl. After we find out it won’t matter because we will be so happy either way. We will probably start calling you by your name as soon as we find out!

Don’t worry, no final decisions on your name until we see you and make sure it’s perfect for you.

Love,

mama

 How Far Along? 17 weeks

Milestones: Our baby is the size of a onion? I’ll just imagine a cute onion. We find out the sex on March 15th and after that it’s going to be a whirlwind of nursery planning and registry research. 

Weight:  111.6 

Sleep: The crazy vivid dreams are back! Just when it seemed like they were going away my dreams this weekend proved it only gets weirder.

Food Cravings:  I think right nowi would love some Mac and cheese. But lately I’ve been eating a lot of ice cream and junk.

Best Moment This Week:  We had a doctors appointment two dats ago and we got to hear your heartbeat again! This time there was no searching around for it- as soon as her put the Doppler on my tummy it was right there.

What I Miss: 90 percent of my clothes and buying smalls at the store…

What I Am Looking Forward To: More than anything right now I just want to feel your little flutter inside me. It should be close- I can’t wait!!

What I Am Not Looking Forward To: I can’t think of anything right now.

Milestones: Our baby is the size of an avocado and my belly is finally starting to poke out. 

Now spent looking at baby names.

Symptoms: Eating every 2-3 hours (except at night- I’m not that bad yet), Taking a shower in the morning is getting more difficult- I just feel kinda sick and hot, so I’m trying to only shower before bed. Still very tired all the time. Can’t button my jeans anymore- I’m starting to use a rubber band.

Weight:  So in the morning I’m clocking in around 105.2, but at the end of the day (I’m talking right before bed) I’m at 108.4. i think i’ve officially gained 3 pounds. I need to go my prenatal work out- I have majorly been slacking.

Sleep: Dreams are getting more vivid and weird. It’s strange. Last night I dreamt it was so windy outside that our windows broke. We had hanging plants outside the window that were just being ripped apart by the wind. So I have no idea what that dream means…

Food Cravings: Breakfast sandwiches, french fries, smoothies and Mexican food. 

Best Moment This Week: Well, we told our bosses a few people at work, which means by lunchtime everyone in the whole studio knew. It’s nice not to worry if I look pregnant because it doesn’t matter if I do or not!

What I Miss: Coffee in the morning

What I Am Looking Forward To: Getting out of my first trimester!

What I Am Not Looking Forward To: Next week. I’m going to be extremely busy at work and I’m still not at 100% energy levels. To top it off I have a very long appointment next Friday morning that I’m kinda nervous about.

Milestones: Our baby is the size of a prune! Yay? I’m not even sure how big a prune is…
