Easy breezy no more, 29 weeks!

It's like I don't even recognize myself anymore, weird. I have grown so much in the past two weeks it startles me! Ha! Upon entering the third trimester it's like a switch flipped...I all of a sudden feel very pregnant. I was blessed with an extremely easy pregnancy up until this point...hopefully it stays that way and won't get too bad. But, I can definitely feel that I am entering the uncomfortable stage of this thing....bye bye to the easy breezy part of being pregnant. Only 11 weeks to go! EEEEEKKKK!!!!!!!!! *and no worries, I am getting BLONDE again tomorrow, for the love...ugh. I am so dark here, yuck!*

How far along? 29 weeks


Size of the baby? 2.5 pounds and almost 16 inches long.

Maternity Clothes? Same as last week.


Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week.

Movement? Same. They are definitely getting harder though.


Sleep? This past week I have started waking up even more during the night, switching sides, etc.

Food Cravings? Still haven’t had anything crazy.

What I Miss: Recognizing myself in the mirror, (for real, I always surprise myself if I get a glimpse in a mirror unexpectedly or something), alcohol, my normal closet.

Symptoms: I swear this past week is the week that I really started feeling really pregnant. My back has started hurting a little, especially after a long day at the office…I need to work on my posture when I am sitting at my desk all day. Starting to have some cramping, moving a little slower at night, etc. I'm still making it thru the night without having to get up to go to the bathroom which is great, but I feel like I have to go every 30 minutes during the day. Pressure is definitely starting to kick in down there.

Best Moment of the Week? Our glider was delivered yesterday, I had no clue it was going to be in already, and I am in LOVE. It is soooo comfy, and gorgeous! We also went and met the pediatrician we wanted to use this morning and I absolutely adore her, she is wonderful. Such a good feeling. I also got my first prenatal massage Tuesday night, which was absolutely divine. I got two gift certificates for my birthday for prenatal massages, I’m going to wait and use the other closer to the end. I wish I could afford to have one weekly.

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
