35 Week Bumpdate


Pregnancy:  Number 2. 
How far along:  35 weeks 4 days
Gender:  Boy!
Weight Gain:  +36 pounds
Maternity Clothes:  Funny thing about maternity clothes...they only fit the first 8 months of pregnancy.  Lol.  Spending most of my days in bathrobes or David's basketball shorts and shirts.  
Stretch Marks:  I see the beginnings of one where I used to have my belly button pierced.  I have been using Bio Oil at least once a day, and although I truly believe nothing prevents stretch marks, it has definitely been helping with the dry skin and itchiness...AND I love the smell!
Sleep:  Awful!  I usually get comfortable and fall into a deep sleep around 3 or 4 in the morning, but then my toddler alarm clock goes off around 7.  Luckily Gretchen spends the day with her Grandma on Monday's so I spent today sleeping in until 9:30am!  It was AWESOME!
Best moment of the week:  Getting to sleep in this morning.  Oh and yesterday was mother's day and I took an hour long bath!  It was amazing!  
Miss Anything:  I have seriously been wanting to lay on my stomach lately!  
Movement:  Yes!  He is a wild boy and loves to stretch.  He has also been getting lots of hiccups this week. 
Cravings:  Nothing really...in fact I am not hungry most of the time which confuses me as to why I am gaining weight so fast...I guess my body just needs to do it's thing. 
Aversions:  None.
Queasy or sick:  Nope...just LOTS of heartburn :(
Looking forward to:  My baby shower on Saturday!  So excited to celebrate this little guy and I think things might actually start to sink in that I will have another baby in a month!

34 Week Bumpdate


Pregnancy:  Number 2. 
How far along:  34 Weeks 3 Days
Gender:  BOY!!
Weight Gain:  +34 pounds
Maternity Clothes:  Oh yea...even though I only gained a pound this last week, my hips magically grew 2 inches!!!  What the heck!  
Stretch Marks:  No new ones yet...but things are getting pretty tight.
Sleep:  It hasn't been as bad this week...still not great, but I am getting up less.  Everytime I wake, I have to get up and pee so seeing as I am getting up less, I think I am sleeping better.
Best moment of the week:  Finished with my purging of all things in the house!! Woohoo!  Now all that is left is a good deep clean which I really only need to do in the kitchen because I did all of the bathrooms not that long ago!  That AND I got a massage yesterday which was pretty awesome!
Miss Anything:  Not struggling to stand up from sitting.  By the end of the day I make Dave help me up...and everytime he does I think about getting one of those fake pregnancy bellies and making him wear it around the house just for fun...anyone know where I can get one of those?
Movement:  Yes!  Like crazy.  He is passed the cute kicking stages and into the painful stretching stages lol.  
Cravings:  Strawberry watermelon smoothies!  And corn on the cob.
Aversions:  None.
Queasy or sick:  A few times this past week I felt a little queasy but NOTHING compared to the first trimester.
Looking forward to:  Relaxing in a clean house :D

33 Week Bumpdate


Pregnancy:  Number 2. 
How far along:  33 Weeks 3 Days
Gender:  BOY!!
Weight Gain:  +33 pounds...a pound for every week :D
Maternity Clothes:  None of my old clothes fit anymore so yes!  Exclusively.  
Stretch Marks:  No new ones.
Sleep:  Awful!  He has been moving so much between 10pm-2am that I have only been sleeping in 10 minute increments.  Then I finally fall asleep around 2:30 or 3 and only get a few hours of sleep.  It sucks.  
Best moment of the week:  Making HUGE progress in a lot of our projects.  Basically all I have left in the kids room is hanging things on the walls and transitioning Gretchen to her big bed.  
Miss Anything:  SLEEP!  But I know it is going to be a while before I get to do that again...
Movement:  Oh yea!  He is super strong.  I would say he moves a little less than Gretchen did, but when he does move, they are BIG and it looks like I have an alien in my belly.
Cravings:  Anything grilled...mainly cheeseburgers and corn on the cob.  Oh and strawberry lemonade!
Aversions:  Nope.
Queasy or sick:  This week I have felt like I was going to throw up a few times because my heartburn was so bad. 
Looking forward to:  Being all done with project and just relaxing the last month!  That's the plan anyway.  I would say that all of my nesting projects are about 90% done!  Woohoo!

31 Week Bumpdate





Pregnancy:  Number 2. 
How far along:  31 weeks
Gender:  Baby BOY!
Weight Gain:  +30 Pounds
Maternity Clothes:  Yep!  Sticking with dresses and yoga pants.  The weather has been super HOT around here (well hot for WA) so I need to get some shorts!  
Stretch Marks:  Not any new ones.  My belly seems WAY smaller this time around.  
Sleep:  So Gretchen spent the night with her grandparents last night which meant I didn't have the monitor or her sound machine one...funny thing...I couldn't sleep!  So at 2am I went and turned on her sound machine so I could hear it and slept like a baby the rest of the night.
Best moment of the week:  All week!  It has been super sunny and we have gotten outside a lot.  I also picked up some super cute boy onesies at Fred Meyer for 50% off!  #winning
Miss Anything:  Not feeling like a trainwreck at the end of the day.  By the time Gretchen goes to bed, it takes serious effort to get up off the couch.  I am just so exhausted and my body feels weak!  Must be from how active I have been during the days since I get in a workout or walk and spend a lot of time carrying a 30 pounder around!
Movement:  Yep!  And painful kicks too.  Last time the painful kicks didn't start until 36 weeks or so.  I get the feeling I am going to have a looooong 3rd trimester ahead of me. 
Cravings:  Fresh salads and watermelon.  I seriously can't wait until watermelon season arrives!  
Aversions:  None.
Queasy or sick:  Just when I go too long between meals. 
Looking forward to:  Again, getting everything organized.  Full nesting mode has kicked in...the only problem is I don't have a lot of time!

30 Week Bumpdate



Pregnancy:  Number 2. 
How far along:  30 weeks
Gender:  Boy. 
Weight Gain:  +28 lbs.
Maternity Clothes:  Lazy this week so mainly pajama pants rolled under the belly or maternity yoga pants!  I tried wearing a few of my regular shirts, but they are waaaaay to tight and ride up my belly so maternity shirts for the next 10 weeks it is!
Stretch Marks:  No new ones.  Although it looks like some of my old ones are getting pinker but I am not sure...
Sleep:  Ugh...well I have to pee like 5 times a night and I am usually so exhausted that I just get mad every time I wake up and have to roll myself out of bed.
Best moment of the week:  The weather has been so nice so finally getting outside to enjoy some walks instead of going to the gym and walking on the treadmill!
Miss Anything:  I am missing my old body...not having to pee a bajillion times a day, not getting kicked in the ribs...oh and I really miss laying on my belly!
Movement:  Yea he has gone from chill to crazy baby lol.  He really likes to kick down low...like super low...like so low I'm afraid he is going to kick his way out...it feels weird!  Gretchen was never that low. 
Cravings:  Watermelon and nice ice (you know the ice they have at Sonic!)
Aversions:  None.
Queasy or sick:  Nope.
Looking forward to:  Getting his room together!  He is going to share a room with Gretchen and I have gathered some stuff, but I need to finish my spring cleaning and selling a few things on Craigslist first.
