Bouncing Baby #7 - Week 17 & 18

Hello my wonderful readers. We are in week 18 of this wonderful pregnancy. Our baby is the size of a sweet potato now and 5.5 inches long and 5 oz big. Week 17 was a decent week just still battling that fatigue big time. I'm also having a hard time with seeing my growing size in the mirror. When I'm at work I have an issue with my feet and back hurting after I stand for more than 5-6 hours, so that has been a challenge. I am still very emotional and just stressed over everything else in our life that's happening. I am having a hard time eating enough I feel like, I don't feel hungry so I don't eat but I later realize that I should. I am also having a hard time drinking enough water. I have also really started to walk enough I feel like, they say if I exercise labor will be easier, so sign me up for that haha. 

I hope you enjoy the bouncing baby series so far and hearing my experience. Loves. 

Bouncing Baby #6 - Week 16

Hello my wonderful readers. So this is for week 16 in this pregnancy and I will kind of let you know what has been going on for week 15 and so far in 16. Week 15 was most likely the worst week so far in my pregnancy. I was nauseous and throwing up a lot, I suffered big time from fatigue. I had to either miss work or cut my shifts in half because I felt like I just couldn't possibly do it and still be healthy for me and baby. The fatigue part is the worst I think, and I think that the fatigue is the reason my stomach has been so upset and just emotional in general. Weeks 15 and 16 were the worst weeks I think of my pregnancy in general. I am not being very consistent with these updates. We have been very busy with work and everyone's events we get invited to. I will for sure get on a better schedule with these updates. Loves.

Bouncing Baby Post #5 - Mother's Day

Hello my wonderful readers. So I wanted to do a post on Mother's Day and say Happy Mother's Day to my mom, Judy. She has been there for me through so much, everything really and will continue to be there for me. She is going to be the only other person in the room when I have my baby I decided, besides my husband of course. I also want to say happy Mother's Day to my two grandmothers as well. According to a lot of things I have read, I am not a mother until my child is born so I do not get to celebrate until next year, which I am a little upset about that I am not considered a mother until my baby is born even though I am growing and taking care of a baby now. Well I would really like to know what you think about this topic. Loves. 

Bouncing Baby Post #4 - 14 weeks

Hello my wonderful readers. This week marks 14 weeks of pregnancy for me and I'm feeling ok. I'm not feeling amazing because of having headaches and my stomach hasn't felt that great lately. On a positive note I have lost a little weight, the doctors were a little worried I weighed too much to start off with, they have said I can only really gain about 10 more pounds in the next 5 1/2 months. I have been trying to eat well and drink lots of water so I think that is helping, plus moving to an upstairs apartment has been a bit more exercise going up and down the stairs. I have been working more since I transferred stores so I am so very tired on top of everything and my feet hurt really bad. I have been craving a cold cut turkey sandwich really bad but I can't have that due to the bacteria listeria that is in lunch meat, so I just wish and pretend I have one haha. My husband has been so supportive with everything and actually bought me a pregnancy pillow and it is amazing.  

Here is a picture of me at 14 weeks and my chalk board saying how big the baby is. Loves. 

Moving!!!

Hello my wonderful readers! I'm so very sorry for neglecting my blog in the past few weeks. So we are officially moved to our new place! Every box is unpacked and everything has its own little place. I am so happy that it only took about two weeks to get everything put somewhere and boxes all unpacked and hauled off to the dumpster. In our new little place we have a balcony with a big storage closet on it, and it is full of our stuff haha. I think that our new little place is good for the year lease we have on it then I am praying we can move to maybe a real house but for sure to a bigger place because in a year when our lease is up there will be three of us and a doggie. That's a few too many people and doggie for a one bedroom apartment. Anyways we all fit for now and like our little place, we are all just getting used to all the new sounds and parking and ways to get to work fastest. Also we are just getting used to taking Charlie out and down the stairs everytime he has to go to the bathroom instead of just letting him outside. Well keep us in your prayers to adjust to our new place. Loves. 

Post #3 - Moving and Pregnant

Hello my wonderful readers. I am very sorry for neglecting my blog, as you can tell my title of my post I am both moving and pregnant. This is posing somewhat of a challenge. I can pack all the boxes I want but I just can't lift them and put them where I want. I am extremely tired from packing and being pregnant. my husband is tired from packing at home and at the office. Our doggie doesn't exactly know what is going on so he is a little frazzled. But overall we move in about 2 days and almost everything is packed, which is good. How we are going to fit it all into our new place, since it is a lot smaller, is the question. 

Pregnancy wise I am doing good, I will be 12 weeks on Monday so I will coming out of the first trimester! I am no longer sick feeling all the time, which is awesome, but I am really exhausted and emotional. The exhausted part is ok, I can deal with it, but the emotional part is hard. I just cry for no reason, it really is freaking my husband out. But hopefully that will pass soon too. I have gone into maternity clothes, I own one pair of jeans, a skirt (both have the over the belly elastic), and two tops. Otherwise I have just been wearing my maxi dresses and bigger t-shirts with leggings. My jeans won't button and I bought The Belly Band and it wouldn't work for my body. Other than that I have only craved Icees and Taco Bell haha. Once we get moved and internet going I plan on getting on here and sharing a lot more with you about what I am eating and doing to prepare for our little one. 

This is our little gummy bear at 8 weeks 4 days 

This was me at 11 weeks, this week. Hope you enjoy! Loves. 

Post #2 - Still Thinking of a Name

Hello my wonderful readers! I am very sorry for the neglect of my blog this week. We are packing and going to have a yard sale and having baby doctor appointments. We are just very busy but I will for sure try to pick it all up again next week hopefully. We did get to the doc to see our little gummy bear of a baby last Friday. We got to hear its heartbeat, which is more than words can describe, it's an amazing experience and me and my husband both almost cried it was so awesome. Our baby did literally look like a gummy bear on the screen, minus the ears on top haha. But now that we have had the ultrasound and all that, and tests have been ordered for genetic screening, I have to fight to get all my stuff transferred to the new doctor in the next two weeks before we move, which is proving to be a challenge. Other than doctor stuff, I finally threw up for the first time after 9 weeks of pregnancy, which was not a happy day. I have been craving junk food but my doctor said that's a big no-no to eat. My weirdest and still my number one craving is a California Roll with a chili cheese hot dog, haha. Well gotta get packing. Loves!
