Pregnancy and Friends

Hello my wonderful readers! I am 25 years old and expecting my first child with my husband of 10 months, just in case you this is the first post your reading of my blog. Ever since I got pregnant and told my friends, some have been supportive and some have said they are being supportive when they come across as being rude about pregnancy. The friends that are being supportive, majority are married with children. The friends that just say they are being supportive are married or single but do not have any children. Those people that are saying they are supportive have been joking that pregnancy is a disease and sending me pictures of alcohol saying "cheers!". I believe that all children are a gift from God, not anything close to a disease! I'm sorry if you reading this turns you off to my blog but that is how I feel about it and it has really hurt me to hear those things from people that call themselves my friends. I pray everyday that God gives me the strength to not lose it, in all my pregnancy hormones, with them.  It is hurtful to pretty much say I have a disease. I am starting to just say if you can't support me in this wonderful step in my life than you don't deserve to even be in my life at all. I believe friends should be supportive of you especially in the big milestones in your life. I did confront one friend about this "disease" comment and was told that people joke because women are pressured to get married and have children at our age. I don't believe that honestly, I was not pressured to get married, I WANTED to. I was not pressured at all to have children, I WANTED to have one. Women our age are not really pressured, I believe, at this age to do either, they are actually getting married and having children later in life, at least the planned pregnancies. As for the sending me pictures of alcohol and saying "cheers!", I think it is rude and not being a very thoughtful friend, I would never send a pregnant friend a picture of alcohol, pretty much rubbing it in their face. I just find it rude in general. Thank you my wonderful readers for listening to my rant in a way but really just how I feel on the topic and how others feel. Loves.

Review It - Bathbomb from Lush Cosmetics

Hello my wonderful readers! I thought I would do a little something different today and give you a review it post since I haven't done one in awhile and when I have posted it has all been about baby. Aaron and I  were at the mall looking for something for our gender reveal idea when I came across the Lush Cosmetics store. I have never been in one but have always wanted to because I have watch, read and listen to so many good reviews, especially about their bath bombs. So why not try one! I got the very most basic one because I didn't know how it would react to my pregnant skin, I figured they were most likely pretty safe for pregnant people because they are all handmade organic all natural like. I got their Butterball Bath Bomb, it was amazing! Here is a link to it  http://www.lushusa.com/Butterball/00012,en_US,pd.html#start=3 . I would recommend this to anyone and it made me want to go back and try them all. I was so relaxed, which I needed badly with being pregnant. It helped my dry skin quite a bit right away I could tell because since being pregnant I have had such dry skin. Overall it was awesome and I will get it again. I feel so relaxed and ready to go to bed already haha. 

Hope you go try one or more than one, let me know which you recommend. Loves. 

Bouncing Baby #9 - Week 21 & 22

Hello my wonderful readers! I miss blogging all the time and I think very soon I will get back to it, or at least try to. We have been very busy getting as much stuff in order before baby comes. So week 21 was good for the most part just fighting the fatigue still, I don't really think it will go away my whole pregnancy. I ate normal but did realize that even just the little bit of really sugary stuff will upset my stomach. I didn't really feel sick at all and was overall just in a good mood for the most part. Week 22 was good and we finally found out what we are having, the next post will be soon and I will reveal what Baby Thorsen is and possibly his or her name. We are so excited and I can even see my husband getting more and more excited each day which makes me super excited. Week 22 has brought me to actually feeling like I am round and not just fat haha. Also I believe that I have felt him or her kick me quite a few time which makes it more real and makes me very happy. This picture is the beginning of week 22. 

Hope you enjoyed my post. Stay tuned soon for a reveal on the gender and possibly the name of Baby Thorsen!!! Loves. 

Bouncing Baby #8 - Weeks 19 & 20

Hello my wonderful readers! I have been so busy the past couple weeks that's I barely know up from down right now haha. We have been traveling a lot and I have just been exhausted. Today I have the day off work so I decided to share with you guys what happened in my 19 and 20 weeks of pregnancy. Week 19 was ok. I was very tired and didn't feel good for part of the week. I got sent home from work once because I got sick. But it's really weird to just see my belly growing and everything else that comes with that. I do think that I have felt a little bit of the flutter of movement which is exciting but sad because Aaron can't feel it just yet. One thing I do love is when Aaron rubs my belly and talks to it, it makes me so happy to see him happy about it. Week 20 was better. It had it's ups and downs, with being tired and not feeling good. But I did finish out the week with just relaxing with my husband. Tomorrow is 21 weeks start and we get to go hear the baby's heartbeat. :-)

This picture means we are half way done baking the bun!!!! Hope you enjoyed my post. Loves. 

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.
