27 Weeks

How far along are you? 27 Weeks



Total Weight gain/loss? Went to the doctors today, and they have 23 pounds. In my head, I have 31. I'm already thinking of my workout schedule once jr arrives.

Stretch marks? Nope:)

Baby Movement? All the time.
Best moment this week? I'm in the 3rd tri, according to most sources! My doctors appointments are now every 3 weeks, instead of every 4.


Food Cravings? Still sweets, which would explain the weight gain.

Belly button in or out? Still in.

Milestones? 3 trimester! I never thought I would see the day.  :)

Weekly Wisdom? Chocolate = weight gain.

26 Weeks

How far along are you? 26 Weeks




Total Weight gain/loss? Wow. I'm not sure. I look really heavy in the picture above though, I am going to blame it on the pants! But I think I am up 15 or so pounds. Okay, I'm not telling the truth, its over 20.


Stretch marks? Nope:)



Baby Movement? Most of the time, he likes to throw dance parties in my belly, although we had a scare the other day (which I will write about in another blog). He is usually very active right before I go to bed.



Best moment this week? We ordered the crib, just waiting for it's arrival to put in little mans room.


Food Cravings? Nothing. I really like chocolate, but I have always loved chocolate. And ice cream is still a favorite. But no running out in the middle of the night, I have to have it now, cravings.


Belly button in or out? In, my belly button is really deep. In fact before I got pregnant, you couldn't even see the bottom of it.



Milestones? I think I felt a little foot or hand or something this week. I was laying on the couch rubbing my stomach, because he was moving alot, and I noticed right by my belly button, if I pushed down lightly on one spot, it was a little harder, kind of round shape. It's hard to explain, it was really weird, and at the same time really cool that I could touch him! After a few moments, he moved and it was gone.



Weekly Wisdom? Two things. If you are slightly concerned about something, call the doctor. It's better to just check then to worry about it. Second, make time to put your feet up. Even if you sit at a desk all day, your feet will still get swollen!

A new beginning.

To my blog that it.  My friend has been suggesting that I keep a journal about my pregnancy, so I can look back and read it. And I have been putting off the idea, but I think it probably is a good thing to do. I will most likely look back and laugh at some of the things, and it could be nice to have. I figured, I would just start up my blog again and take it from where I left off.
So for the past few days, I have been cleaning up some things that were on here, because I am going to let more people access this. But I have left a lot the same.  I can't erase the past events, and all those events/feelings have lead me to where I am right now. The next thing I had to decide, was who was I going to let read this right away. And I don't think I know the answer to that, or how to pick and choose. I've never been a very "private" person. And if you ask me a question, you are bound to get a very honest answer. But that is just how I am. I'm willing to share my journey with almost anyone, especially if it makes someone feel not so alone in theirs.
So if you are reading this right now, it is because I feel comfortable letting you into my life. And I want to keep you updated on the progress that I am making in my pregnancy. Some of you, I read your blogs, so I want to share with you, as you have shared with me. Some of you are friends or family. Some of you don't know about everything I have gone through to get pregnant or some of the tough times that we had. If you don't want to know about that stuff, you can consider this the beginning and just read from here! But all of you that are reading, thank you for taking an interest in my life! I hope this makes you laugh (and many of you that know how sarcastic I am, I'm sure it will in spots), and gives an insight of how I think pregnancy is, and hopefully how I think it is to be a mother in her 30's.

Picture below is me at 19 weeks. . .I am now at 26.
