::Baby G Take 2:: Week 17


How far along? 17 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 4 lbs. (haven't checked since the doctor, hoping not to have crazy weight gain)

Maternity clothes? Yes! I need to get some more basic tops and tanks, I feel so uncomfortable in any non-maternity clothes, so not worth it!

Stretch marks? Not yet!  My belly was itchy today, hope that doesn't mean stretch marks!

Symptoms: Heartburn is back in full force, had some lower back pain which is bringing back memories. <-- Same again this week.

Sleep: Pretty good sleep, I'm super exhausted after a day of errands and chores, I'm heading to bed asap!

Best moment this week: Deciding on the name for sure and the nursery color scheme.

Have you told family and friends: Yes everyone knows. 

Miss anything? Not really.

Movement: None yet and I'm getting pretty antsy to start feeling the baby. Henley can be pretty rough and while I know there are plenty of layers to protect the baby, I still want the comfort of feeling those tiny little clicks.

Food cravings: No cravings really

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing specific

Have you started to show yet: Yes

Gender: We found out a few weeks ago and are pretty much relying on that, but I'd still like to wait for the anatomy scan before purchasing anything.

Labor Signs: None. 

Belly Button in or out? In 

Wedding Rings On or Off? On

Happy or Moody: Happy overall

Looking forward to: Feeling the baby!

This week we got some pretty funny pictures, it was hard to pick just one!




Have a great week. I'm off tomorrow and Tuesday to catch up on some Love Mere orders and cannot wait!

Mere :-)

::Baby G Take 2:: Week 16



How far along? 16 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 4 lbs. (haven't checked since the doctor)

Maternity clothes? Yes!

Stretch marks? Not yet!  Started applying lotion today!

Symptoms: Heartburn is back in full force, had some lower back pain which is bringing back memories. Also some nausea here and there.

Sleep: This week has been great. Henley's been in our bed but at this point I'm just letting it go...just like Elsa.

Best moment this week: I think we've nailed down the name!

Have you told family and friends: Yes everyone knows. 

Miss anything? Not really.

Movement: Nothing yet, at the elective U/S we were told that I have anterior placenta which means the placenta is between the baby and my skin so it could take longer to feel it. I have this last time too and I felt Henley at 20 weeks.

Food cravings: No cravings really

Anything making you queasy or sick: Chick-fil-a didn't sit very well yesterday which is so sad, I love Chick-fil-a

Have you started to show yet: Yes

Gender: Waiting until the anatomy scan in October

Labor Signs: None. 

Belly Button in or out? In 

Wedding Rings On or Off? On

Happy or Moody: Happy overall

Looking forward to: Moving forward with the nursery. I think we have decided on a theme/color scheme. I love it!

::Baby G Take 2:: Week 15



How far along? 15 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 4 lbs. and I read something that said about now I should have gained about 5 at this point, yay! I'm better off than I thought!

Maternity clothes? Yes!

Stretch marks? Not yet!  Started applying lotion today!

Symptoms: My appetite has changed a little lately, I kind of feel less starving and wanting more light meals. I think a little bit of the adversion is back but no nausea. Oh yeah...can't forget the heartburn :-(

Sleep: Better. Last week I had pulled a muscle in my neck and that's finally better. Henley's sleeping is not much better but hopefully we are getting there!

Best moment this week: We went to an elective ultrasound on Saturday and we now know the sex! 

Have you told family and friends: Yes everyone knows. 

Miss anything? Not really.

Movement: Nothing yet although I thought I felt something last night in bed but when I came to, I realized it was just Henley's foot!

Food cravings: No cravings really

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope

Have you started to show yet: Yes

Gender: I'm guessing girl. We had our ultrasound and I'm going to keep in a secret for a little while. I want to get the anatomy scan done in a few weeks to confirm. Then I'll definitely share the news!

Labor Signs: None. 

Belly Button in or out? In but still stretched from last time. Henley was actually playing with it this weekend, so funny!

Wedding Rings On or Off? On

Happy or Moody: Happy overall

Exercise: None this week. :-(  I think I should just remove this line!

Looking forward to: Picking a name and starting on the nursery!

::Baby G Take 2:: Week 14

Technically 14 Weeks a few days ago, I'm a little behind


How far along? 14 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 4 lbs. A little piece of me is nervous as this time with Henley I had only gained 0.5 lb. I'm going to try and be mellow about it and just let it be. 

Maternity clothes? Mostly, they are so comfy!

Stretch marks? Not yet! 

Symptoms: No nausea this weekend which is totally exciting and I've been eating like normal. I pulled something in my neck while sleeping on Saturday and literally couldn't move in bed. I'm not sure if it was due to the Snoogle or if it was because Henley was in our bed. It's feeling much better but still pretty sore when I move it certain ways

Sleep: Mediocre, I need Henley to start staying in her bed but the task of making that happen just seems daunting!

Best moment this week: Hearing the heartbeat yesterday

Have you told family and friends: Yes everyone knows. 

Miss anything? Not really, I splurged on some coke this week, yummy!

Movement: Nothing yet.

Food cravings: No cravings really

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope

Have you started to show yet: Yes

Gender: I'm guessing girl. We have an ultrasound on Saturday!

Labor Signs: None. 

Belly Button in or out? In but still stretched from last time. Henley was actually playing with it this weekend, so funny!

Wedding Rings On or Off? On

Happy or Moody: Happy overall

Exercise: None this week. :-(  I've talked with hubs about getting bikes, I think that will be fun with Henley and the new baby.

Looking forward to: Finding out the gender and being able to start the nursery! (same as last week!)
