40 Week Bumpdate



Pregnancy:  Number 2
How far along:  40 Weeks 3 Days #4thTrimesterBaby
Gender:  Baby boy!
Weight Gain:  +42 pounds
Maternity Clothes:  I guess you could say that...cycling through the same 2 shirts and 2 pairs of sweatpants until the end lol.  
Stretch Marks:  I have 2 new ones that are really small...one looks like a horseshoe (or hot dog stick according to my husband) and the other is just a small continuation from an old one.  
Sleep:  Depends on the night.  Usually around 2-3am I get super comfortable and baby boy settles into a good position so we can sleep for a few hours.  
Best moment of the week:  Passing my due date - oh wait that was probably the worst lol.  Best would be coming to terms with being over ue.  
Miss Anything:  Fitting into my maternity clothes hahahaha. 
Movement:  Definitely.  Although he is definitely running out of space.  No painful movements either.  Gretchen used to jab me all the time, he just likes to stretch out.  
Cravings:  Fresh veggies and salad.  Also Coconut Kenny's has this AMAZING Bora Bora pizza which is chicken, BBQ sauce, pineapple, and red onion.  I have been seriously craving that.
Aversions:  Not necessarily an aversion, but I don't ever want sweet foods.  
Queasy or sick:  Nope. 
Looking forward to:  Having this baby!!  Praying for a spontaneous labor!

39 Week Bumpdate


Pregnancy:  Number 2
How far along:  39 Weeks 3 Days
Gender:  Baby boy!
Weight Gain:  +40 pounds
Maternity Clothes:  No...husband's clothes lol.  My maternity shirts are practically all belly shirts.  I am in dresses and Dave's basketball shorts till the end!  
Stretch Marks:  I have a few new small ones that just look like continuations from old ones.
Sleep: HORRIBLE!  I have been getting like 3 hours a night and peeing a million times.  Last night I did get 8 hours though!
Best moment of the week:  I have been watching a lot of birthing videos lately and just bawling my eyes out...it has finally hit me that I am going to have a tiny little human that I love as much as G!  I am so excited to meet him.
Miss Anything:  Laying on my stomach.  Not constantly sweating.  Not having heartburn.
Movement:  Yep...he is moving down so not too much in my ribs anymore thankfully!
Cravings:  Fresh veggies.  I craved these towards the end with Gretchen too.
Aversions:  None really.  
Queasy or sick:  Not too bad.  Sometimes I feel a little sick but nothing compared to the first trimester.
Looking forward to:  D-DAY!

Happy Birthday Little G!

Happy happy birthday to my beautiful baby girl!  I CANNOT believe it has been TWO years already.  Where has the time gone?  It seems like just yesterday I was meeting you for the first time.  These past 2 years have been the best of my life.  You have taught me the true meaning of love and I am so proud to be your mommy!



 


This year, we had Gretchen's birthday party early since my due date with baby 2 is the day after her birthday...that would be cutting it close!  We had a blast even though it ended up raining.  Spent lots of time with family and ate good food...and the theme - BUBBLES!  We decorated with a ton of clear balloons and when she woke up from her nap and went downstairs she kept exclaiming, "BUBBLES!!! BUBBLES!!!"

Here are some of Gretty's current favorites...

  • Saying bless you anytime anyone sneezes
  • Chapstick
  • Her baby dolls
  • Brushing her teeth/sucking off the toothpaste
  • Sitting on the windowsill
  • Playing gos (Legos)
  • Reading books ALL THE TIME!
  • Singing song
  • Bubbles
  • Bedtime cuddles
  • Watching Frozen and High School Musical and dancing with mommy or daddy during all of the songs
  • Saying her ABC's (yep the whole thing!) and counting to 10.
