LATE!!!

Well has most of you know i am expecting a little boy. We were due around the 12th of september. Well here we are on 19th and he is still snug as a bug at the moment. 😑😑😑

There has been alot of suggestions to get this rolling number of course is sex but i giggle at some of the other suggestions. I have told to heat spicy food. Well i laughed and explained it wont work since i love eating spicy food. I did with my daughter and i have with this one as well. And i dont get heartburn when i do eat it. I was also told a hot bath (new one for me to hear). Again i giggled since i already take warm baths as well. So i am working pineapple since i heard that is supposed to help.

My midwives have been amazing tbrough this whole thing. Im gettting alot of pre labour which i never had with my daughter at all. I was hoping this ment things are rolling but i guess this can go on for a while. Dont worry me n my midwives are getting a plan together after tuesday since i have a ultrasound to check that everything is still good. And little man is moving lots so i know he is good. Ill try to get some reviews done of books (just been sore and tired so i havent been reading a ton) and same with my crochet project (started on a blanket for little man)

36 weeks!

We are in the final stretch of this pregnancy which is very hard to believe! The time has seemed to have flown very quickly. With all the big milestones we have gone through has been amazing, feeling her first kicks (which felt like bubbles popping at first) to her winding the heck out of me when I am at work. When she does that i try very hard not make faces since the kids I work with get a good giggle from it. I was able to get her nursery set up. The walls were painted I think 2 families before we moved into the house. The minute I was that room I knew it would stay the way it is since the detail that went to painting room is amazing.  We also don’t have the problem of the cat trying to get into the crib either. Which we are very lucky, since i know cats will jump into cribs. Miss Pixie (the cat) hasn’t tried to even since The crib is high, as you see from the picture there is wheels on it. Which will make it easy to move back and for to vacuum that room.  We also lucked out that our dog as has not changed with way he has acted either. I am very thankful and lucky that my mom is has been a big support system through this whole thing. We will see when this little one comes i still think she will come the 4th of Feb but someone people think the 14th.   Fingers crossed she doesn’t decide to try to come early.

Pregnancy Milestones

Well the last several weeks have been crazy! We found out what we were having at 20 weeks. So before I say what we are having I can say my husband was right. I never had a feeling or a guess even. So as I sat through my ultrasound waiting patentially to see what the tech would show me. As she showed me the scan baby let us see what it is. And we are having a……………..GIRL! I couldnt believe that my husband was right. I am excited for sure. I am thankful i was able to get clothes for free from a good friend of mine who has a little girl. I dont like pink myself and my friend had wonderful selection for me to pick from. There is some pink but her whole wardrobe is not pink! There is a good selection of colors and of course pooh bear.

So jump to the last few weeks this little girl has been doing lots of movement! It is amazing to see her kick and actually feel her kick as well. I dont know if she had hiccups since I cant tell the difference between kicks and hiccups yet. She does hate the doppler machine so she kicks me later hard.

I am thankful for my family specially my mom who has been answering all mt questions of over this and my best friends as well. This whole pregnancy has been crazy amd great.

Second Trimester

Well it is official I have entered the second trimester of my pregnancy. It still boggles my mind that I have made it this far and this a learning as I go as well. The mood swings are random at best. I can be happy and fine one minute and angry the next or upset. I feel bad for my husband who gets to the see the brunt of the rapid changes. He is very sweet through the whole thing specially when I have been very sick and very tired. The tiredness still is hanging on pretty hard but it seems like the morning sickness is starting to go away finally. I know I have been told I would just  have to accept that I have morning sickness but in my opinion I don’t need to accept it at all.  I know I wasn’t worst case at all since it was just dry heaving but still its very hard on the body either way.

So last night I didn’t take my morning sickness pills I normally take at night to help through the next day. Before anybody says anything about self medicating I did ask my pharmacist yesterday if I could start going off them. And thus far in the day I feel good I don’t feel the need to run to the bathroom and potentially pull a muscle dry heaving. Which I am happy about it for sure, but know its my nose I smell so many things know. My husband joked that I became a hound dog since I can smell when bananas are ripe and what not. I find it can be nice having a super nose right know but other times its not so much fun at all. For example we went shopping the other day and I smelled something that made me feel super sick right away. Of course my husband cant smell what I smelled.

I am waiting for a boost of energy I keep hearing about in the second trimester which I hope hits soon. I don’t like feeling so tired even though I slept through the whole night and still need to sleep half the day as well. Know that I am on the mend maybe yoga is the way to go to help with the tiredness. One of my best friends keeps saying exercise helps and I know she is probably right after all. But I was so worried of getting sick while working out I waited until know to make sure I know I’m not going to get sick all over my mate.  The thought of it happening has made me laugh even though I know it seems very strange to laugh about.

I hope all of you expecting mamas have a good pregnancy.

Pregnancy number 3

So had many you have read here on my blog I have had 2 miscarriages already. I honestly thought I was not going to get pregnant again. I was also very hard on myself after both miscarriages. I thought I let down a lot of people in my life.

Well things seemed to line up for me. I honestly didn’t think I was pregnant I just figured what I was feeling at the end of my was my period coming. I was going to follow my moms advice and not test till I missed my second period. But I test in the beginning of June because then I could tell my doctor I wasn’t pregnant. And ask her why I was having this terrible heartburn. So I tested 930 at night and well I almost fell over for how fast those little pink lines came up.

So several tests later it was still coming up positive. I was still in shock but happy on the inside for sure. And with this pregnancy its been a real learning curve. I have am still dealing with morning sickness, being tired, and having no energy. I do have medication that does help but it definitely been different for sure this go round.

So in short this pregnancy is a blissful surprise. I doubted my self before but this time I am happy that i have been given this chance to carry my child. And for those of you who have had miscarriages, or are having trouble getting pregnant please have faith in yourself. I know its a crushing blow to not get pregnant or to get to met your baby you were carrying. Remember there are options out there for you. Don’t be afraid to look into them and ask questions! You are all wonderful and I know you will make great mother and fathers.
